Messi is desperate to participate in Beijing this August. The Argentine international understands that Barcelona are counting on him for a UEFA Champions League qualifier next month, but he seems to have already decided to defend the colours of his national team. "I think they spoke a lot about my situation because it was a very tough year, and now the important thing is to qualify for the Champions League. If we didn't have to play this qualifier I think there wouldn't have been any problem for me to go to the Olympics," stated Messi, who cannot wait to experience what will be his first Olympic Games. "I'm very excited about going to the Olympic Games. It is a very nice tournament and everyone who has already experienced it recommended me to go at-least once in my career. We have a great team, so I think we can win it." Barcelona believe they are entitled to retain Messi's services for the qualifier because they pay his wages and are the main reason he has become an international superstar. But this is unlikely to help their cause in any way, and Argentina will finally get their way. "I didn't talk to Barcelona," said Messi. "I know that they are talking to the AFA, and whether I have to stay in Barcelona or go to the Olympic Games, one or the other, I will be happy. I'd like to be in both places but I know that would be impossible. I think both parties will come to an agreement." Messi, who launched his own brand of underwear in Buenos Aires, affirmed that he has yet to talk to Pep Guardiola, but he is well aware that the club's directors are doing their best to create a competitive team for next season. "Although I haven't spoken to Guardiola I think they are doing their best to bring in important reinforcements, and there are some who have already arrived, but the important thing is to assemble a group that can win a title this season," he explained. Finally, he said that he doesn't understand why Barcelona haven't been able to win a title in the last two years, and insisted that despite lots of attention, he doesn't feel like the star of the team. "I feel that some of my team-mates who have helped me very much are leaving, and the truth is I am very sad about this," he added. "I consider myself just one more player of the squad and I hope to win important things this year."
