Argentina match-winner Lionel
Messi admits his country can still
improve following a gritty 2-1
victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina
at the World Cup.
Alejandro Sabella started with a
5-3-2 formation and saw his side
take the lead in the early
exchanges when Sead Kolasinac
scored an own goal, but it
struggled for the rest of the half
and a tactical switch was made at
the break.
La Celeste performed better in the
second half and Messi picked up
his second World Cup goal before
Vedad Ibisevic pulled one back,
and the Barcelona man was
realistic about the performance.
"Bosnia are a good team and we
have things to improve, but the
important thing is to start with
three points," he told reporters.
"In the first half we were too deep
and that hampered us in attack.
"The second goal was a relief for
everybody and ensured the three
points, it was special for me
because of the game that I had.
Thousands of Argentina fans filled
the Maracana stadium in Rio de
Janeiro for the match, and greeted
Messi with loud cheers when he
walked out on the pitch.
The No. 10 says had no doubts
about his country's support, and
insists he is focusing on winning
the trophy back in the same
stadium on July 13.
"The Maracana was great, I had no
doubt it would be like that, we
keep working towards the dream."
