Lionel MESSI: “I don’t think ahead. We will fight everybody in the World Cup”

Argentine star striker Lionel Messi He talked about the expectations of the national team for the World Cup, which will be held in Qatar:

“The group stage is always difficult. At the last World Cup, there was a lot of talk that we had a passing group, we were already thinking about who we could meet and in the end it was not what we expected. We drew the first match, lost to Croatia and barely made it to the playoffs. This year is very difficult. We have a group. It is very important to start by winning the first game because three points will give you peace of mind and make you look at the next game differently.

I don’t think ahead. Argentina is ready to meet everyone. It is very clear what needs to be done in every match, the technical team is very well prepared for the matches we will play, regardless of opponent. We’ve been playing better lately, easier, more understanding, because we’ve been playing together for a long time. The goal is to continue on this path, to try to do better in the World Cup.

We know that the tournament is very difficult, small mistakes can lead to elimination from the competition. However, we have a national team ready to compete and we will fight against any opponent.”

Note that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18. Argentina will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in Group C.
