Bauza to hold talks with Messi over international future

The new manager of the Argentina national side confirmed that he will travel to Barcelona to speak to the star, but claims that he will not force Messi into a decision. 

"The idea is that once I have met with the [interim Argentine Football Association president] Armando Perez, I will make a trip to have a chat [with Messi]," he told 'Fox Sports'.

"It is not about convincing him of anything, just to chat about football".

Despite claiming that he will not try to convince Messi of anything, it sounds like Bauza is hoping that the Argentine buys into his way of working. 

"Those of us who were players know how frustrating it is to lose a final. I will let him know my way of working – not just him, but other senior players too," he said.

"There is not much time. If Messi knows anything clearly, it is what he must do on the pitch, and what decisions he should take.

"Between the two of us we could see how he could help the national team, and if he can continue with all this commitment that I have seen from outside". 

Do you think Messi will change his mind?
