the 10 that He led the Argentine National Team to shout champion after 36 years He broke the silence and talked about what was used in Qatar and his later days. The person in charge of get more than a smile and unique testimonials was the journalist and conductor Andy Kusnetzoff who went to Paris to be able to have this unique one-on-one with Lionel.
Of course, the center of the conversation was what they saw behind closed doors during and after the World Cup, which Argentina won thanks to Messi, not only scoring seven goals, but also being the field driver of the team during the contest.
In the dialogue with kusnetzoff was seen to a messi more genuine than ever, speaking from the heart, he usually does every time he has to refer to his country. Wrapped in smiles, a little over a month after the consecration in Qatar, the captain expressed his feelings at the time of being crowned.
“From that day everything changed for me,” he revealed. “That’s it, there’s nothing left, I achieved everything with the National Team as I always dreamed of, everything in my career, at Barcelona, individually. It was like my career in a unique way. The truth is that when I started with all this I never imagined that I was going to do it this way, that I was going to be given all this”.
One of the images that spread throughout the world was that of Messi with the award for the best player in the tournament, almost being left out, because the man from Rosario only had his eyes on the World Cup which he was kissing.
Without resisting because he was very close to the cup before it was delivered, Messi pounced on it. “I saw her there and I couldn’t not do what I did, because she called me. The cup called me, hehe. That’s it. Come, grab me now you can touch it. That’s it, I could do all that now. apart the I saw there that it shone, that it was startling in that beautiful stadiumeither…”.
showing up once more Thanks god For everything that happened to him, Messi commented the following: “God had it in store for me. And there was no better time than this. The same with the Copa América. At the end of my career, right now. I thank you every day, I can’t ask for more”.
Added to this, Lionel asked the one above to transmit all the necessary forces to Gonzalo Montiel to execute the last penalty against France and put an end to all this as expressed by the Rosario. Thus, making a transformation, Messi himself said that he saw God in Montiel for a moment after kicking a more than hot penalty to seal the conquest of the “Scaloneta”. The conquest of Argentina will end a huge relief in the whole country that will be presented expectantly to be able to feeling on top of the world after 36 years.
Messi referred to this: “The truth is that something inexplicable because I think something like this never happened or I don’t remember it and well, all that energy, all that desire from everyone, I think it made it happen in the end” . Added to the theme of the festivities, the viral little dance of “Dibu” Martínez He also arrived at the Messi house. The captain affirms, between laughs, that even his own children are crazy with the celebrations of the Argentine goalkeeper, another of the heroes of the albiceleste conquest.
One of the pillars in life is Antonella Roccuzzo, his wife and the mother of his three children, Thiago, Ciro and Mateo. Antonella herself was seen following a kind of cabal during the World Cup, like the bulk of the Argentine fans who fulfilled their own traditions to bring luck to the national team. In this way, after the first game with Saudi Arabia that was a defeat, both Antonella and her children were seen wearing the purple shirt, the substitute for Argentina. As of the second game, the woman from 10 was seen wearing that shirt to comply with a cabal. Regarding how the moments before the final were seen together with his partner, Messi said that he remained calm.
“We talked before going to sleep, but without touching much on the game, or anything special. We did more or less the routine that we were doing every day before the games or the two or three days before that we repeated the same thing more or less, but, the truth is that it was very calm, I could sleep very well”.
Then he touched on various topics about the World Cup itself. He confessed that he saw that the match with Mexico in the Group Phase, which ended in a 2-0 victory thanks to his goal and the other pearl from Enzo Fernández, was the most complicated of the entire tournament. The man from Rosario commented that it was a culminating match with no margin for error and that despite the fact that it was not the best presentation of the team he felt that they were going to get a good result to pick up the spirits. Confirmed that he did not watch the final again, Messi argued that he saw compacts, the goals and some parts of the match that will remain in history, but that he did not take the time to watch the full match.
Finally, Messi did not leave aside as he said at the time when talking about the fans. At the time, the captain said, after the defeat with Arabia, that the Argentine people remained calm that this group was not going to leave them stranded, words that he fully fulfilled. In that tune, the captain spoke of the affection of the people who were present to them at all times to achieve the long-awaited conquest. After achieving the goal, Messi showed his gratitude and emotion for the sensations he saw in the people when the world champion team arrived in the country. “Up there It was crazyit was crazy because we saw the happiness of the people, of big people, boys of all ages. The happiness they had was inexplicable, you could see it on their faces”.
Another of the topics that arose in the conversation with Kusnetzoff were Messi’s words of admiration and gratitude to the coaching staff headed by Lionel Scaloni along with Pablo Aimar, Walter Samuel and Roberto Ayala. A working group that formed an exceptional group from a football point of view, but also from a human point of view, a necessary factor for the absolute harmony of a group when facing competition of this caliber. “The coaching staff are spectacular. They are former players who went through all this that we went through, they knew how to handle themselves at all times, they had experience of having been in World Cups. At all times they knew what they had to say or do”.
Closing the dialogue, Messi, who promised to tattoo the symbolic five of cups, went back in time to speak to the 20-year-old Messi who dreamed of fighting this type of competition defending the Argentina shirt. “That something extraordinary awaits him, that he could not imagine. That he is going to have a very beautiful path, with hard moments that he is going to have to overcome, but that he never give up on his dream, because in the end he will have his most desired reward and his happy ending”.
