“What happens to Messi will be the same as Federer. He will be loved by everyone until he retires. Everyone wants to see Federer play again. People are even more passionate about Messi when football has a greater influence. That’s why we should enjoy the time Messi is still playing,” Coach Scaloni said in an interview after Argentina’s 3-0 win over Jamaica on the morning of September 28 (Hanoi time).
Messi scored 2 goals in 3 minutes to help Argentina beat Jamaica. This 35-year-old striker only entered the field from the bench but left a bold mark. In addition to the beautiful goals, Messi also interrupted the match 3 times by fans running into the field to ask for autographs.
A brace against Jamaica helped Messi reach 90 goals for the national team. In addition, M10 also surpassed rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the number of goals scored on free kicks. Messi scored 59 goals in set pieces, while Ronaldo had 58 goals.
At the age of 35, Messi is still the leader of Argentina before the 2022 World Cup. The PSG superstar has scored 10 goals for the national team since the beginning of 2022. No Argentine player has scored better than Messi in this period.
In an interview on ESPN, Messi shared his plans after the 2022 World Cup: “I don’t know what I will do yet. After the tournament in Qatar, I will review many things. I am happy to play for the national team. , even in the period before winning the Copa America 2021. I thank all the people who have supported me during the past time.”
Messi has no intention of retiring like Federer, who decided to stop playing professionally on September 15. Federer is one of the greatest tennis players in the history of tennis. He once held the number one position in the world for 310 weeks, including a record of 237 consecutive weeks. His career is associated with competition with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
