“I’m a little anxious and nervous about this World Cup, because this is the last time.” When Lionel Messi, the current world champion and Argentine ace, was interviewed by the media in October, he personally confirmed that this tournament will usher in the last time of his playing career. This World Cup also symbolizes that an era is coming to an end.
The career story of 35-year-old superstar Messi, I think there is no need to say more here. Since his debut in 2005, he has become the hub of the football world. The youngster who played for Barcelona has gradually matured and has also taken the lead in assisting the ball. He will return to the ranks of the class leader and transform from a player to a leader at the national team level. Messi has won numerous championships and honours, such as La Liga, Champions League, UEFA Champions League, World Club, Olympic Games and other leagues, and even won the World Soccer Ballon d’Or 7 times, and last year he helped Argentina win the Copa America, leading the national team to win the first championship for the first time. There are countless champions with goals like hemp, but they only need one World Cup championship. The closest was in 2014. Unfortunately, they lost to Germany after extra time in the final and finished as runners-up. Even if they won the World Cup Golden Globe, the experience is still one of the great regrets of Messi’s career.
Messi did not comment on whether Argentina are favorites to win the championship this year, but he believes the team is strong and has the conditions to compete for the championship, and will score a good moment. Indeed, Argentina has always produced a great number of talents. Many high quality midfielders have emerged in recent years, including defenders Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. The attacking burden is heavy and Messi has been playing in his best form since Paris Saint-Germain arrived in Ligue 1 this season. Being able to welcome the World Cup in the best shape and mood is also key to the league.
Argentina, which is in group C, will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in the group stage, it is not difficult to fight for first place, if there are no incidents the first 16 opponents will only be Denmark or Australia in group D (admittedly that France is the first qualifier), I think the real test will come in the quarter-finals and the opportunity to face the Netherlands. Therefore, Messi must have no reserves and fight for the coveted World Cup trophy which he owes to his career. If he can win this final By successfully winning the tango championship, Messi’s entire brilliant and legendary playing career will be more complete.
Messi is currently tied with former teammate Javier Maskerano and legendary football king Diego Maradona to participate in the World Cup finals 4 times. As long as he makes his appearance in this tournament, he will become the player who has participated in the most times in the World Cup in the history of Argentina. Whether or not they can win the league as they wish, for Messi fans, witnessing Messi’s growth, maturity and experience in the later years of his career has already held an important place in their hearts. the world cup champion Bar!
