Argentina FA president Julio Grondona fears Barcelona star Lionel Messi could be run out of the national team. Grondona has hit out at Messi's critics and warned he could easily call time on his international career.
"The solution would be for Messi to say: 'I will not come any more, I will stay in Spain'," the president told Radio Cooperativa.
"What everyone acknowledges is that the Argentines want to put him down. Messi was born in Rosario, he lived and played there, he had growth problems. He followed his path, found a place - Barcelona - and they took care of him as if he was born there.
"And despite this, he said no to Spain because he wanted to play for Argentina. We have to reflect on this."
