Crespo:”Messi isn’t Maradona, he can’t win World Cup by himself”

After scoring thirty five goals in sixty four caps, Hernan Crespo has learned a thing or two about the pressure of being an attacker for Argentina. The former Chelsea and Inter player spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about Sampaoli’s team’s struggles in the first match of the World Cup:”Flop? It’s complex subject. Let’s start with a fact: Messi deserves a five as a grade. Had he scored the penalty I would have given him a six. We should expect more from him, and this is a broader subject. Messi isn’t Maradona, he can’t win the World Cup by himself, Argentina fans need to understand this but also his teammates. He’s a phenom when he’s put in the right setting like at Barcelona-if not, he struggles. But tell me who helped him against Iceland? Di Maria didn’t dribble past an opponent once, the midfielders didn’t support him
