Scaloni Forces Messi to World Cup 2026, Want to Make Ronaldo Suffer?

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Lionel Scaloni will force Lionel Messi played for the national team of Argentina in World Cup 2026 after winning the 2022 World Cup.

The public knows that Messi plans to retire from the Argentina national team after the 2022 World Cup. This plan will be close to reality because La Albiceleste will emerge as champions.

By winning the 2022 World Cup, Messi’s target with Argentina was fulfilled, namely winning all the major tournaments: the Copa America, the World Cup and the Finalissima.

So far, there has been no official announcement from Messi regarding his future with Team Tango. However, quoted from RMC SportMessi still wants to wear a blue and white costume in the next few months.

“I want to continue to have a few more matches, to become world champion,” said Messi.

When Messi wants to stay for the next few months, Lionel Scaloni has an even more out-of-the-box plan. Scaloni wants to force Messi to stay until the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

In the report it was mentioned, bringing Messi with the Argentina squad at the 2022 World Cup is not an impossible fantasy.

“Having him is a luxury. Let’s hope this is not his last World Cup,” Scaloni told Telenoche.

“We have to keep the Number 10 warm until he decides. If he stops, we’ll see, but we have to keep hoping. For now, I think we have to give him a place for the next World Cup, if there is a quota of 26 players,” said Scaloni. add.

It is not impossible that Scaloni’s wish will come true. Scaloni is a figure who could bring Messi back to the Argentina national team after deciding to ‘temporarily retire’ after failing at the 2018 World Cup.

After Team Tango failed miserably at the 2018 World Cup, Messi did not play for the national team until the end of the year. Messi only returned to the Argentina national team in March 2019 against Venezuela.

If Lionel Messi plays in the 2026 World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo could suffer even more. Ronaldo has always been associated with Messi in winning titles or awards.

Ronaldo is currently suffering when Messi won the World Cup trophy. With the World Cup trophy, La Pulga is at the forefront of the candidates for the Ballon d’Or.

By playing in the 2026 World Cup, Messi will continue to add to his record goals. Opportunities for champions can also open again. Meanwhile, Ronaldo, who is getting older, has less chance to shine.
