GABRIEL Heinze insists Argentina have got a lot more to their game than just Lionel Messi.
The FIFA World Player of the Year is expected to light up the World Cup in South Africa but Heinze believes that teams who look at just stopping the Barcelona man will pay the price.
“Everybody expects something whenever Lionel touches the ball, that’s normal, he’s the best in the world and is in his best moment, but Argentina do not depend on him but on the group,” said Marseille man Heinze.
“It’s incredible what he does but he is one more player and he can make mistakes.
“I believe it’s the team that makes you win these very difficult tournaments.”
