"I wish the team to continue winning, if I have not scored yet, it does not matter. I hope to score in the second round against Mexico," Messi said.

Messi told TV channel Telefe that he is happy of being the captain at Tuesday's match, te youngest skipper in Argentine soccer history.

The soccer star also said that during that match the referee from Uzbekistan Ravshan Irmatov "allowed Greece everything and supported its game".

"He did not let us play, but we also fought against that and we surpassed it," Messi said.

Argentina will face Mexico in the second round of the World Cup on Sunday in a match to be played in Johannesburg, seeking to be among the eight better teams of the Cup.
