Lucas Biglia has slammed the toxic support surrounding the Argentina national team in recent years.

La Albiceleste have underachieved in recent years, with expectation growing on the current crop of players to succeed.

However, Biglia claims that certain players have even visited psychologists to deal with the pressure.

“How do you want the national team to grow if you laugh at the players?” he told TyC Sports.

“There are a lot of memes that get noticed, even if you think it is harmless or funny.

“Some of us go to psychologists because of the pressure. The Albiceleste shirt weighs much more than others.”
