obviously messi plays better as a second striker/media punta but just like we were talking about there is no one better at the
#10 position than messi....forwards they have plenty of so if messi plays as the
#10 is fine, they wont be lacking goals...messi will just be scoring less but it doessnt matter because there is players who will score for them (aguero,pipita)....if messi plays upfront he doesnt ever receive the ball in good positions because no one know how to bring the ball up field....messi can do that and playing deeper he opens up space for the other forwards...messi and argentina would be better off with messi further up but they dont have the players to allow messi to do that...
