BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil : Lionel Messi says Argentina committed too many mistakes in its 2-1 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, including starting the game with two attackers instead of three.
Messi stopped short of criticizing coach Alejandro Sabella but said Monday that he hopes Argentina will stick with the three-man attack it used in the second half against Bosnia -- even against stronger opponents.
Messi says: "We are Argentina and I think we have to focus on ourselves and not on who we're facing. Of course depending on the result of a game we can change to another system. But personally I think we need to look at ourselves first and not focus on the rival."
Argentina plays Iran in its second World Cup game on Saturday.
