“Messi is the most dangerous creative player, he is able to create a lot and to score goals himself,” he said.

“But when they lose the ball and the opponent has possession he doesn’t participate much, and this gives us chances [to exploit].”

Messi scored the first goal as Argentina beat Australia 2-1 to book a place in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup where they are faced with the challenge of defeating Van Gaal’s men.
