Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk has insisted that Argentina will not be carried by Lionel Messi during their World Cup quarter-final.

Who will win Friday's clash between the Netherlands and Argentina?



But Van Dijk has now warned his team-mates that Argentina will have quality all over the pitch on Friday night and their focus cannot just be on Messi.



The two teams face each other in the last eight of this year's tournament on Friday after they defeated the United States and Australia in the last 16.



But Van Dijk has demanded an improved performance from the Oranje against Argentina.

"But it’s not about me, or the Netherlands, against Messi, it’s about the Netherlands against Argentina.

The Netherlands have never won the World Cup, despite reaching the final three times, while Argentina last lifted the trophy in 1986.
