Messi Mania! – Lionel Messi led Argentina to face Saudi Arabia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup

What was Lionel Messi’s most viral video recently – any nods to French club PSG? Assisting Neymar and Mbappe? No – it wasn’t a scene taken from the pitch. It was an inspirational speech given by Messi to his teammates in the Argentina dressing room before the Copa America final.

“We’ve been here for 45 days, 45 days. Didn’t even see the family members. All about this crown. This tournament was supposed to be held in Argentina. But with God’s intervention, he had to be moved to Brazil. But we can beat Brazil on this Marakana field and bring the title to Argentina.” – said Messi. After the release of the trailer for the Netflix documentary, it became the WhatsApp status of all Messi fans. Because no one has seen such a Messi before. The same Messi is what everyone wants in the fields of Qatar!

Argentina beat Brazil in the Copa America final with Angel Di Maria’s goal assisted by Rodrigo de Paul. Even if it was a coincidence, it was a sign. Argentina is starting to show the courage to move at least occasionally away from a Messi-centric orbit. Messi’s presence gives them energy. But in return, they also take care to make Messi comfortable. With De Paul leading the way in midfield, Messi has also been free on the pitch.

Messi has never had such freedom except when he was with Juan Roman Riquelme at the beginning of his career. Changes in Messi’s attitude are also evident. Argentina’s trip to Qatar was equally enjoyable. A look at Messi’s social media accounts shows the picture of that change. Messi shares all the beautiful moments with his teammates. In a friendly where fans flocked to Abu Dhabi, Argentina thrashed the United Arab Emirates 5-0 and set up for the final leg in stunning fashion.

After arriving in Qatar, Messi did not attend the team’s first training session. On the second day, the training was initially carried out on its own. Perhaps this is coach Lionel Scaloni’s strategy to save Messi from the cameras. Messi is staying in a single room in the hostel at Qatar University, the team’s base camp. Argentina’s team management is building a ring of security around Messi while giving him privacy.

Today, Argentina will take on Saudi Arabia at the Lusail Stadium with an unbeaten run of 36 matches. The World Cup final will be held at the same Lucille Stadium on December 18. If they go undefeated and reach that game, Argentina will already own a world record. Most unbeaten games in international football.

Boots is also a legend!

This boot designed by Adidas to be worn by Argentina captain Lionel Messi in the World Cup is called the ‘Leanta’. The Spanish word leanta means legend. The main part of the boot is golden. The blue and white colors of the Argentine flag are also used. Messi’s shirt number ’10’ is also written in black on the back of the boot.
