Lionel Messi's Argentina flies to Saudi Arabia to face Brazil
The game takes place on Friday, Argentina have lost the last two against Brazil
Argentina, with their top star leading the way, Lionel Messi, headed on Thursday from Palma de Mallorca to Saudi Arabia to face Brazil at the King Saud University stadium in Ryiad.
They took three training sessions in Mallorca before heading to the Middle East. After the game against Brazil they head to Israel to play Uruguay in Tel Aviv.
"We have to pay a lot of attention to him," said Chelsea’s Brazilian winger Willian, when asked about Messi.
"We must restrict his space. But we can't man-mark him, what we have to do is work together to close down the space he gets. Above all, we can't let him have time to think.
"He's a great player, the best in the world. But we have faced Argentina in the past and this time is not going to be any different."
