As Iran confront Argentina today in Belo Horizente, Coach Carlos Queiroz has said that Lionel Messi is incredible and may not be a human. He also said that they need a miracle to beat the two-time worlc champions.

Iran held the Super Eagles to a barren draw in their first Group F match on Monday, while Argentina defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1, with Messi scoring the winner.

“Against Argentina, we need a miracle to defeat them. They are one the best teams in the world,” Queiroz told Argentine state-run news agency Telam.

“Argentina has one day more to rest and is in the better condition,” the 61-year-old said.

The former Real Madrid and Portugal coach said he is concerned not only about Lionel Messi but also about the rest of the Albicelestes players.

“Messi is not a human. He is an incredible player; however all the other players also worry me. (Angel) Di Maria, (Gonzalo) Higuain and (Javier) Mascherano are the great players,” he added.
