He's aware of everything," he told Sport. "I always thought a player of his standing would have to be a player who knew a lot about football. But he surprised me even more than I thought."Leo knows everything about everything. Nothing escapes him. He has a very important understanding and this helps when one has to communicate their idea." Without Messi, Argentina were held to a 2-2 draw by Peru and sit fifth on CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying ahead of a meeting with Paraguay.</blockquote>
