Interview with Carlos Bilardo

During an interview with the newspaper "Folha de San Pablo," Carlos Bilardo addressed a message to Lionel Messi and was tough on the national team who suffered a heavy defeat against Spain.

About the captain of the Argentine team, "Narigón" said, "He is the best in the world, there is no one like him" and added, "There will always be comparisons with Maradona. And in order to reach the same level as Maradona, Pelé, Cruyff, he has to bring the World Cup to Argentina."

About what happened with the national team against Spain, the former coach said, "What happened in Spain has to serve as a turning point" and regarding the 6-1 defeat, he added, "You can't concede six goals and keep everything the same. The result will have some influence. There was a lack of spirit on the field, knowing that they represent the Argentine shirt," he concluded.
