New Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has confirmed that Lionel Messi will be given the captain's armband for the first game of his tenure against Venezuela, and praised the Barcelona phenomenon for the class he gives to the national team.
The former Estudiantes man is currently in Calcutta as he prepares for Friday's friendly against the Vinotinto, with Messi and the rest of the Seleccion expected in India in the next few days. As widely expected, Lio will lead the team onto the pitch as he officially replaces club team-mate Javier Mascherano as the figurehead of the South American giants.
