Football: Messi keen to reignite international career – Scaloni

Lionel Messi's passion for international football has been reignited, according to Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni. "For all of us the World Cup was a big setback and for Messi even moreso. I believe that he is happy and wants to try once more. For us, that is very welcome news. It is obvious that he is playing a lot of matches and, physically, all the players are tired when it comes to the FIFA windows. Many players would love to have a rest, but he prefers to join the team. This a very important step."
