And he thinks about it.
What do I need to do?
What do I have to change in order to enjoy the same success that I've enjoyed with Barcelona with Argentina?
And there was always a feeling before
that Messi, very introverted, very self-contained, that the quietness of his nature inhibited the other players.
Because imagine, you're called up for Argentina, you're training with Messi, all you ever want is for him to notice you and praise you.
And if he's just in his own little world, it ain't going to happen.
And one of the first things that Scaloni did is not to call up Sergio Agüero.
who was in his pomp at the time.
And the idea, I think, was, well, Aguero's his mate.
He only ever speaks to Aguero.
We're going to take Aguero away.
We're going to force him to interact with the rest of the group.
And I think Messi had come to a similar conclusion, that he had to transform himself into the vocal leader by this time.
Because remember, there's a little dispute going on with Tevez for a while about who's going to be top dog.
That's over.
So it is clear that this is Messi's team.
And he's now kind of surrounded with his fan club, with people who idolize him.
And Scaloni's big triumph was to get Messi integrated in the group in a way that he'd never been before.
And that 2019 Copa, where Argentina lose in the semifinals, the journos who were following Argentina were saying, Messi's totally different.
