The World Cup final is not a match played by Messi alone; French captain
The final match of the Qatar World Cup is only hours away from the whistle.
On Sunday night at 8:30 PM IST, Argentina will face the reigning world champions, France.
The reigning champions of football, who won’t win a title for the next four years, will be the winning side on Qatari soil on Sunday.
But French captain Hugo Lloris has come out once morest giving too much importance to Messi in the World Cup final.
Captain Hugo Lloris, who is also the French goalkeeper, was speaking at the pre-match press conference.
When media persons continuously asked regarding Messi ” It is very important to pay attention to every player in this tournament. The top two nations will meet in the final.
Against a player like Messi, one must be more careful. But Messi is not the only one playing in the final,’ said Hugo Lloris.
“Tomorrow’s match should be played with mutual respect. We are still studying our opponents and preparing for tomorrow’s match. “There shouldn’t be any breakthrough in tomorrow’s game that we don’t foresee,” he added.
Hugo Lloris has stated that the camel flu virus infection in the France football team is not a cause for concern. At the same time, the French coach Didier Deschamps also stated earlier that he will not ignore the demand of many for Messi to win the title.
If they beat Argentina in tomorrow’s final, France can become the team to retain the World Cup title following Italy and Brazil. At the same time, Argentina has a chance to become champions once more following winning the title under the leadership of Maradona in 1986.
And the Qatar World Cup might be Messi’s last chance to pursue his dream of a world title. Argentina and France can kiss their third World Cup crown if they win the final.
In 2006, France lost to Italy in the final. Argentina also lost to Germany in the final in 2014.
