Messi's dubious excuses before the Argentine national team match in Bolivia

Lionel Messi has been to Bolivia 3 times since he was part of the Argentine National Team and on no occasion has he been able to beat Bolivia. The Argentine player does not like to play in Bolivia due to the altitude and has already said that it is very difficult to win on that field. But if we refer to the statistics, Bolivia is clearly not invincible playing at home.

Messi's two games in Bolivia are highly remembered by Argentine fans, especially the one who lost 6 to 1 when Maradona was the coach of the Argentine team. That day Messi could not do much to win the game and I observed him vomiting due to the problems that playing at more than 3,000 meters of altitude brings.

In order to win against Bolivia, the Argentine team must play an almost perfect match and make the most of the 5 changes that their coach Lionel Scaloni can make. Messi will surely not play the 90 minutes since Messi does not feel comfortable playing at the altitude of La Paz and the best thing for the team is to take care of his health.

Messi will have the difficult challenge of being able to quickly guide the Argentine team towards victory because if the game becomes very even and they fail to score several starting goals, Argentina will be greatly affected. Lionel Messi does not want to play at the altitude of Bolivia and Scaloni knows it but at the same time they know that it is the last time that Messi could play there and he needs a victory to end the myth of altitude.
