Kings in their clubs by selecting subjects

"It appeared", "abandoning the party is indefensible" or "another failure of Leo" are some of those disqualified Argentina the press launched after the draw Leo Messi of Argentina to Bolivia. The Barcelona seems to be the perfect prophet in his land, as does exercise under the orders of Pep Guardiola at Barca. The case of 'The Flea' star role in club selection blur is something that has been repeated in the history of football and that also seems to sprinkle his counterpart at Real Madrid and Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo. Players like Redondo, Laudrup, Cantona, Zola, Di Stefano or serve as an example.

The most bizarre stars as Di Stefano. Alfredo came to defend the interests of three different teams: Argentina, Spain and Colombia. He was one of the best strikers in the world but, despite making a bag of goals for the Red, he never achieved would stand out as the selection. Little helped him not to attend any World Cup event either because their country had not been classified or injury.

The bad relationship with the coach was the main reason why the other three players with pedigree did not shine as expected defending their national teams. Laudrup missed Denmark's success at Euro 1992 because of disagreements with Nielsen, which argued for tactical concepts. Redondo, despite raising two Champions League with Real Madrid, fell Passarella calls for its refusal to cut his hair. Bernd Schuster, who triumphed in Barcelona, ​​Atletico and Real Madrid, failed to wear the shirt of Germany just 23 years after he refused to play a friendly match on the birth of their first child.

Another who shone under the protection of his club (he won four Premier League with Manchester) but did not quite jell with his country was Eric Cantona. The controversial French footballer could never go to any World either by discipline, technical decisions or injury. His role with the 'bleu' left much to be desired. Something similar happened to Gianfranco Zola who, despite being one of the most skilled players that has given Italy, love never sweating the 'Azzurra'. Something that if achieved in Naples, Chelsea and Parma. Juan Roman Riquelme or Bochini, for different reasons, also wore the white and blue as they did for their clubs.

Argentina has always been a country that leery of multiplying the significance of any item on your selection. The Argentines want to see the spotlight albiceleste mischief that makes wearing the Barca Messi. They do not want to 'The Flea' to repeat the above cases. Although at age 24, the attacker still has time to meet his countrymen and lift the title that every star should look in his window: a World Cup selection.
