Argentina star Lionel Messi has claimed that they are not favorites to win the World Cup but the team will go to Russia with hope.
‘We are not going as favourites but will give it our all,’ said Messi after the 4-0 friendly win over Haiti.
The Barcelona striker scored three and set up Aguero for the fourth one in a match played at Boca Junior’s stadium in Buenos Aires.
The captain said that the team has put behind their patchy qualifying form and are now training well.
A star studded Argentina including players like Angel Dimaria, Higuain and Mascherano lost the 2014 finals and there are fears that the current golden generation is running out of time to win a trophy for their country.
