Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni has defended the Copa America form of Lionel Messi.
Goals from Lauturo Martinez and Giovani Lo Celso saw La Albiceleste beat Venezuela at the Maracana to progress to the semi-finals of the Copa America.
Messi hasn’t been at his best during the tournament so far, scoring just one goal against Paraguay in the group stages.
“Having Messi on the pitch is essential for us.
“For us, Messi brings so much on and off the pitch,” Scaloni said.
