What did Lionel Messi say about his future and Qatar 2022 World Cup in his interview with Star+?

World Cup Qatar 202

“We got to a good moment because of how everything happened, a very armed and strong team. But in the World Cup anything can happen. All the games are very difficult, that’s why a World Cup is so difficult and so special. Why not it’s always the favorites that end up winning or it ends up going the way you expected.”

“I don’t know if we are the great candidates, but Argentina itself is always a candidate because of history, because of what it means, more so now when we arrive, but we are not the top favourites. I think there are other teams that are above us today, but we are very close, it will definitely be the last one to play.”

Lionel Scaloni

“Scaloni is a very close man who talks a lot with the player, who tries to always be there for whatever it is. He is a man who lives it a lot, you can see that he works for and for football, which he loves . what he does. He suffers a lot from the games and he deserves everything he’s been through. The process he had to undertake was not easy and he put it all together.”

His experience in four World Cups

2006: “I had an injury before the World Cup with Barcelona. I played the last friendlies for the National team but I came to the World Cup without having played for the last few months. I played with the Netherlands, with Mexico in the round of 16 and then I didn’t play with Germany.”

2010: “We had a big team, a great team and well we got caught by Germany. We were good until their first goal and from then we started going crazy, messed up and their goals started coming in. It was difficult because of the way it was lost ».

2014: “We had a spectacular group. We won after the 2011 Copa America in Argentina, bad in the Qualifiers because if we lost to Colombia there everything would be complicated, but we won and from then on we didn’t lose any The group left stronger, united, and we didn’t stop until the final because we deserved to beat him. If it was a penalty against Higuain? Yes. And with VAR, definitely more.”

2018: “The truth is that we didn’t do well, it was difficult for us to qualify. There were a lot of changes, a lot of chaos in the middle of the national team with a change of coach, players. We finished badly but I still believe that if we had won the first game it would have been completely different. “With Croatia you would play differently. Even so, we didn’t win against France. When we were 2-1, Pavard scored that great goal from outside the area. But we were already in a bad situation.”

Future DT?

“At first no, but you don’t know. Zinedine Zidane said no and then he won everything. Manager? That way, yes, I like sports management, putting together teams with a manager. I’m not 100% sure.”
