Giroud: Argentina Squad Would ‘Lay Down Their Lives’ for Messi at World Cup

Giroud: Argentina Squad Would ‘Lay Down Their Lives’ for Messi at World Cup

Former France striker Olivier Giroud says Lionel Messi’s Argentina teammates would “lay down their lives” for their captain at the World Cup. Messi scored twice in a 2-0 win over Austria, taking his all-time World Cup tally to 18 and breaking the previous record. He began the tournament with a hat-trick against Algeria and now has five goals in two matches, helping the reigning champions secure their spot in the round of 32 with a game to spare. Giroud praised Messi’s influence, saying his teammates play for him and view it as a privilege to share the pitch with a player who keeps getting better with age.

It's impressive Messi keeps breaking records, but I wonder if the team's success is just riding his coattails.

I'm not convinced every player would sacrifice themselves, maybe it's just journalistic hype around Messi's legend.

The team could focus on strengthening defence and set-piece routines if they want to support Messi's scoring exploits effectively.
