Mauricio Pochettino believes Lionel Messi doesn`t need to defend himself.


People talk about defensive work and pressing, but the thing about Messi is that he doesn`t need to press. When you have Messi, you need other players to understand that they need to win the ball and give it to Lionel so that he can save energy and decide the situation at the right time, as Argentina are showing now.


Frankly, I think the debate about Messi`s defensive work is so outdated it`s almost stupid. It cannot be pretended that Maradona or Pele - the most important players in football along with Messi - were focused on trying to win the ball.


He can`t be involved in this. He just has to take his position and everyone else has to run for him, the former PSG and Tottenham coach wrote in a column for The Athletic.
