Di Maria: Messi knows that running is more important than scoring in the Copa America Copa America Argentina are into the final four

Angel Di Maria believes that Lionel Messi is playing well for Argentina despite the No.10 not quite grabbing headlines in his usual manner at this summer's Copa America.

Messi has only scored once for his country this summer, from the penalty spot, but the Paris Saint-Germain player believes that other aspects of the game are more important in the Copa America.

"We're used to seeing him score goals, but I think Leo is doing very well," Di Maria said.

"He's running and working. He knows more than anyone that the Copa America means you have to run and then think about the rest after."

The Albiceleste started poorly but have made it to the semi-finals, where they will meet hosts Brazil.
