VIDEO. From Grandoli to the 2022 World Cup. Messi wrote a touching speech on social networks

Star forward of the Argentina national football team Lionel Messi He posted a video on Instagram and a post with a touching speech:

“It has been almost 30 years, from Grandoli to the World Cup in Qatar. It’s been almost thirty years since the ball brought me so much joy and a little bit of sadness. I’ve always dreamed of being a world champion, and knowing it would never come true, I didn’t want to stop trying.

This trophy we won is also for everyone who didn’t win in the world championships we played before – for example in 2014, when everyone fought to the end, worked hard and wanted to win, and deserved it. as strong as me… And we deserved it even at that damn ending.

It also belongs to Diego Maradona, who supported us from heaven. And to everyone who has always supported the national team, who is more concerned with the desire we put into the game even when everything is not going as we want it to be.

And of course all this great team, the coaches and all the people who work day and night to make our job easier, even if they are not famous in the national team.

Often failure is part of the journey and learning, and success is impossible without disappointment.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! Go to Argentina!
