Pep Guardiola speaks about Lionel Messi's mentality

Lionel Messi and Pep Guardiola

As a result, many believe that the young player will be excluded from Pep Guardiola’s squad for upcoming games against Getafe and Inter Milan, but the Barcelona manager has turned down such rumors.

“Messi is in the squad because he’s physically fit. He is a little down, but he’s okay,” affirmed the Spanish coach as he spoke to El Mundo Deportivo.

“He loves his country very much and wants to play in the World Cup with Argentina. Such a tragedy would not affect him, but Leo’s best feature is his mental strength. Football always presents fresh opportunities and lets see how he plays next.”
