Spain 'keeper Iker Casillas has looked ahead to Saturday's friendly match with Argentina, and has warned his team-mates that Lionel Messi will still be a danger despite claims that the Barcelona ace doesn't reproduce his best form for his country.
"It's true that he plays differently with Argentina," Casillas is quoted as saying by Marca.
"Messi is Messi and he will enjoy playing against Spain, and he will want to show that he is a great player against a very strong national team."
Casillas will win his 100th cap for la Furia Roja against Diego Maradona's men, drawing ever closer to Andoni Zubizaretta's record of 126 caps for the national side.
However, the Real Madrid shot stopper insists he would readily accept less game time for Spain if it meant that he could lift the World Cup for his country.
"The 99 games have flashed by for me and to play for 10 years with la Seleccion is not easy. I never thought I would reach 100 games or have the support and confidence of all the coaches, but I would settle for less playing time and fewer matches to win the World Cup."
