Argentina is in trouble, and captain Lionel Messi said a “drastic change” must be made if it is to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after a 3-0 loss to Brazil on Thursday. The result leftArgentina in sixth place in the 10-team South American standings after 11 games.
Messi told Ole newspaper: “We need to change our mental approach. If one is not mentally well then the legsdon’t respond. We need to change this s***** situation. We didn’t expect this result. It could have even been worse. We weren’t able to react. We must improve a lot. We can’t repeat what we’ve beendoing up to now because we will not come out of this situation. We still depend on ourselves but we cannot give away points, especially at home. We need a drastic change.”
