"Golden boy" Diego Maradona believes that Messi does not need to prove anything to Argentina in the context of the 31-year-old superstar preparing to enter the World Cup could be the last of his career.
4 years ago in Brazil, Argentina reached the final but once again El Puga missed the deadline. The image of Messi staring at the World Cup gold trophy still haunts many Tango fans to this day.
Although M10 is outstanding, it seems that the national team title still avoids him. Not to mention the World Cup, Messi has not only conquered South America with the Copa America title, but has not been able to do it.
At 31 but still having to shoulder all the responsibility in the Albiceleste shirt, Messi admitted that Argentina is not one of the candidates that can compete for the trophy in Russia this summer. El Puga's words may make millions of fans angry, but the truth is after a series of achievements.
Among the few who agree, Maradona is the one who takes the most practical step-father protection.
I would advise Messi to continue playing and enjoying it. He had to forget all the criticism outside. Messi does not need to prove anything, just enjoying the match is enough.
I don't know Coach Sampaoli. I don't know how he plays, but I know very well about the players, they will fight with all their might. I think Argentina can still win but if I choose, I will not choose the DTQG as a potential candidate because a team named as a championship candidate will never win, Maradona shared.
Previously, in the friendly match before the World Cup with Haiti, Messi scored a hat-trick to help the Argentina team win 4-0, this Friday, his team will have another friendly match with Israel.
In Group D of the 2018 World Cup, Argetina will have 3 matches against Iceland (16.6), Croatia (20.6) and Nigieria (27.6). Messi and his teammates are considered the strongest team in the group when they were placed in the No. 1 seed group.
