“ So three finals in four years has been really tough for them both mentally and psychologically in the team for everyone and especially for Leo”

“It really hard when country people tag you as a loser. They see him winning cup and trophies with Barcelona. So they expect the same kind of level with the national team.
“Leo has been criticized when he isn’t able to perform well during the game but when he took retirement from football.  He has been Requested to come back to the team”

“ As a teammate, I can always say that we have always been a better and consistent team  in performance during his presence”

“ And for those who claim that he doesn’t Perform well with the country like he does with the club are completely Wrong. When I used to play with him On Argentina team. He has always played a  role of the main player or main man in the team”
