Leo Messi He debuted with the Argentina shirt on June 29, 2004, in a match that the Albiceleste U-20 team played in Buenos Aires against Paraguay. The final result, 8-0, with one goal and two assists from the ‘Flea’. On the bench of that Argentine team was Hugo Tocalliwho this Monday, after the five goals that Leo endorsed Estonia in the friendly played by both teams in Pamplona, did not hesitate to affirm that the current Messi is the best that has been seen so far with Argentina.
In an interview to Super Deportivo Radio by Radio Villa Trinidad, of the South American country, Tocalli affirms that “now I see the national team and I enjoy it; before I suffered because I saw him suffer. There is no such thing as this version of Messi. This Messi is like no other. This Messi that I see now is the Messi that I knew as a player, but in daily work and who knew that he could do these things with his quality, but out there he could never show it in games”.

Tocalli added that “when you see this Messi, who is smiling all day and who enjoys being in the national team, that makes me very happy, because it reminds me of that Messi I met in the youth divisions. The attitude he has to ask for the ball makes me happy and to help their peers. He never wants to go out. He gets along with everyone, I enjoy that, but it doesn’t surprise me.”
“I got emotional watching the game against Estonia: with the name it has, it’s still hungry”
And humorously, he recalls that “many times I start to think and I said it from the first moment we brought him: luckily we brought this boy, because if he was going to play in Spain, I I had to leave Argentina and go live elsewhere”.
“I got emotional watching the game against Estonia because he scored a goal and wanted the second, and then the third, the fourth, the fifth… And if he could do more, he did. with the name you have in the world, that he continues to have that hunger excites you”.
