MADRID - Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza believes Lionel Messi deserves to retire from international football in style as a World Cup winner. But the Barcelona star had a change of heart after talks with Bauza in August. According to Bauza: "I didn't meet Messi to persuade him, I was convinced that during our chat a chance would open up." He deserves to take his retirement in another way, he deserves to end his international career as a champion." Bauza is hoping Messi will have recovered from a groin injury in time to play a part in Argentina's next 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Colombia on November 10 and 15.
