The Argentine legend is not stopping at anything; Lionel Scaloni with good news
Argentina legend Lionel Messi, who has won most of the big achievements including the Copa America and the Finalsima title, was the only one away from the world crown. But Messi’s dream blossomed when he won the FIFA World Cup that ended last month in Qatar.
The star had earlier announced that he would not play another World Cup if he might win the World Cup for the country. But coach Lionel Scaloni said that Messi will be with the Argentina national team in the 2026 World Cup. Scaloni was speaking in an interview given to goal.com.
“We want Messi to play in the next World Cup as well. Whether he wants to play for Argentina or not is entirely up to him.
But seeing Messi continue in the national jersey and being able to coach him is what makes me so happy.
Like me, the entire Argentine team would like this to be the same. Because I have never seen another player who gives everything to his teammates on the field. “Messi’s performance shows what a true captain is,” Scaloni said.
But speaking to the media following the World Cup in Qatar, Messi expressed his desire to wear the national jersey and play for some time. He added that he loves football very much.
The player scored seven goals and four assists in the Qatar World Cup. Messi is also the first player to assist in five consecutive World Cups.
