– Argentina will miss the services of Messi after the player called it quits with the national team
– It will be very difficult for the team to find a perfect replacement for the five-time Ballon d’or winner
– There are some players that could actually become perfect replacement for the star
Arguably the greatest Argentine player in history Lionel Messi has just called it quits with the national team which has thrown the whole world into shock. However, The Blue and White Stripes’ team have never been in lack when it comes to producing a number 10; the likes of Roman Riquelme, Ariel Ortega, Pablo Aimar have all flourished after the legendary Diego Maradona retired. The question now is who will fill the vacuum for the departed Barcelona man? Here are the five possible players that will fill the vacant number 10 position
1. Angel Correa – Though he is a 21-year-old, the midfielder can certainly grow into the shoes of retired Messi. Correa has gradually matured into a dependable carrier of a team. The Atletico Madrid man has always been compared to Carlos Tevez’ aggressive style of play and with his speed and skill as an advantage, the youngster could be the shoulder of Argentina in the next World Cup in Russia 2018.

2. Paulo Dybala – Despite not including the Juventus midfielder in the Copa America squad, he has done alot for the national team scoring a number of goals when he came-on as substitute.

4. Javier Pastore – The only thing that keeps this man on the bench is Messi’s brilliance. The Paris Saint Germain (PSG) man has all the qualities of a midfielder and his playing style has attracted Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

He can play a versatile role as a striker, winger and midfielder and with experience on his side, the 27-year-old has all it takes to bring back the glory days to Argentina.
5. Angel Di Maria – He is Messi’s favourite teammate in the national team and the reason is not far-fetched from the fact that they combine well through lifting the team in making and scoring goals.

Apart from being the next captain, Di Maria’s presence alone in the team gives the players hope that they have a 12th-man on the field which can inspire them to greater heights.
