Messi, who had not played since May 12 due to a thigh injury, was introduced by Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella in the 55th minute, reports Xinhua. <img alt="Lionel Messi" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jun/Lionel-Messi_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 389px;" /> Lionel Messi &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not well. Today I could play a little but I wasn&rsquo;t sure how my leg was going to respond,&rdquo; Messi said after the match. &ldquo;We spoke about it before the match with the coach and decided that it would be best to come on for a while in the second half.&rdquo; The Barcelona striker criticized the decision to rule out Sergio Aguero&rsquo;s 72nd-minute striker for off side, which came after Messi was deemed to have interfered from an illegal position. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t make my run too early and nor did I threaten to do so. It wasn&rsquo;t offside. I told the referee (Marlon Escalante) but he said he had already allowed the goal.&rdquo; The 25-year-old admitted he wasn&rsquo;t sure if he would be fit to play in Argentina&rsquo;s next South America zone qualifier against Ecuador in Quito on Tuesday. &ldquo;I don&#39;t know, I haven&rsquo;t played for a long time,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Playing at altitude takes a lot out of you. Even if I don&rsquo;t play, the team will be going out to win.&rdquo;u00a0
