Ramiro Funes Mori says Argentina still needs Lionel Messi after his international retirement following the Copa America.
Argentina defender Ramiro Funes Mori believes Lionel Messi was "mad" when he announced his international retirement in the aftermath of his nation's Copa America final defeat.
A penalty shootout loss at the hands of Chile was Argentina's third defeat in a major final in as many years after World Cup and more Copa heartbreak.
After the loss in the United States, Messi revealed that he did not have the will to continue with the national team.
Also a member of Argentina's Copa squad, Everton center back Funes Mori is just one of many to express a desire to see Messi back in the blue and white jersey before the 2018 World Cup.
