Messi: Argentina not one-man team

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi says Argentina is not a one-man team and believes the South American outfit can succeed at this summer's World Cup, despite a disappointing qualifying campaign under coach Diego Maradona.

"Argentina is not just Messi," he told CNN in an interview. "In the national team there is not one sole leader; we are a group, like at Barcelona."

And Messi hopes both he and Argentina go on to do well this summer, adding: "Let's hope this is my World Cup and Argentina's World Cup. We didn't qualify in the best way, but we can be the surprise team.
