MADRID, 26 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The captain of the Argentina team, Leo Messi, was relieved after the victory (2-0) over Mexico this Saturday under the threat of being left out of the World Cup in Qatar if they lost this second day, a forced victory that came when they calmed down .

"We knew that we had to play it this way, it was a very difficult game to win because Mexico plays well for you. They have a great coach, he handles the ball for you. We played the first half as we had to play it, with great intensity, and the Second, when we calmed down and began to move the ball to the goal, we went back to being what we are. With the result, the euphoria, the need, the game was played as it was done," he said.

The '10' confessed in statements to Gol Mundial after the match the pressure of being one goal away from being left out of the World Cup for many minutes. "We had to win to accommodate ourselves. Today we had to win, today another World Cup started for us and we were able to do it," said Messi who made it 1-0 on minute 64.

On the other hand, the leader of the albiceleste referred to the defeat in the debut against Saudi Arabia. "The first game cost us a lot. Normal because there is a lot of conditioning in the first game, a lot of youngsters who are playing their first World Cup, the schedule, they are not excuses, but we did not go out as we should go out, with everything there were two isolated plays that made us lose the game," he said.

"We cannot give up, we have all finals, we cannot fail. The response of the people was going to be like this and we also complied, we have been hand in hand for a long time and thus very nice things were achieved," he added thinking of Poland.

On the other hand, Messi was surprised by the rumors about his physical condition, which almost became reality. "I don't know why so many things were said, the other day they talked about the ankle and I had nothing, and in the end it really hurt. I was fine, I trained normally, never alone, today we made the effort we had to make", he settled .
