Maradona: "They've left Messi alone and I don't want him to be alone."
Maradona: "I want to talk to Messi,To fight for those who were left alone, from first to last."
Maradona: "Messi has to stay in the national team... He will go to Russia in form to be world champion."
Maradona: "I have a feeling they just told him: 'Go and for the love of God do something to save us.' We were a mess and they left him alone."
Diego Maradona insists Lionel Messi must not follow through on his vow to quit international football.
An emotional Messi dropped a bombshell following Argentina's heartbreaking 4-2 penalty shoot-out loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final on Sunday, announcing his intention to walk away from the national team.
The 29-year-old's revelation came in the wake of Argentina's third consecutive defeat in a major final as their 23-year wait for a title continued.
But Argentine legend Maradona - regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all-time - said Messi, whom he coached during his time as national team boss between 2008 and 2010, must play at the 2018 World Cup.
