Obviously, this kind of attitude from the fans will not help the team at the moment. It is true that the fans want their hero to lead them to the World Cup triumph, therefore they all need to change their ways and provide the relevant support for their hero during the tournament.
Lionel Messi needs them to cheer him up when things are going right and he also needs their encouragement during the tough periods. With this kind of support, the attacker can end up leading the Albiceleste to the World Cup glory in Russia.
