“I know Argentinian fans and maybe some French people would hope Lionel Messi can win the World Cup but we are going to do everything to achieve our objective.” France coach Didier Deschamps said as quoted by Express.
“I often get that feeling but I am fine being alone, that doesn’t bother me. Most fans will probably support Argentina because they are Argentinian.
