That's where I disagree, out of the 3 he was the only one that got a chance to rest during international break.
And he threw that away for a freaking party, so to me he's more to blame than anyone else, cause he has the skills that could have saved us, and the time to rest that the others couldn't get, yet he chose his priorities.
He went to a carnival in Rio. It doesnt matter as long as he gets the required rest around that. You act like the best thing is for them to be stretching at home every minute away from pitch.
Players need to get away and clear their heads and have their own time. They all do that. Messi included has done it in times of good/bad form.
You are linking that to the reason for him being poor as it suits your argument.
