This Thursday night, the selected champion of the world, of America and of the Very final will compete again for a new trophy under the leadership of Lionel Scaloni. In this frame, Lionel Messi, at 36 years old, gave a large number of interviews before what will be one of his last competitions with the albiceleste. This Tuesday night, the interview she conducted with him premiered Marcelo Tinelli for América TV and the footballer seemed relaxed when it came to responding to all the topics.
The Copa América 2024 to be held this month in the United States is getting closer and closer, and one of the great candidates for the title is Argentina due to its latest results and the level of play of its players. One of the great jewels of the team led by Lionel Scaloni is its captain, Lionel Messi, who was key in obtaining the latest achievements. The man from Rosario spoke one-on-one with Marcelo Tinelli and left several fun moments in the talk that lasted about an hour.
The 10 keys to Lionel Messi in the interview
- At 36 years old, Lionel Messi achieved a maturity that makes him enjoy football more. “In sports, I take things differently and enjoy them. I give much more value to things, to everyday life and to concentrations. Sometimes they are long and eternal. A lot of time in a room, but when you’re in a nice group, you have a better time. We enjoyed it and I didn’t enjoy those things, but day to day life leads you to think about what’s coming. Today I take it differently,” he indicated.
- How your family adapted to a country like the United States. “You live it differently. Here we play one game a week and it gives you more time to do things than in Europe, where you think twice. The first thing is to sleep and eat well. Here they give you more freedom. You take it another way. Antonela is very independent, she moves everywhere alone. The kids adapted very quickly and play in the club’s school,” Messi said.
- Messi surprised Tinelli by telling him that the most similar of his children is Ciro, due to his personality. “He has more and more of my character. I’m weird. I have my crazy moments or my moments. All the kids are playing there and he doesn’t care. He gets crazy and you can’t talk to him because he goes anywhere. He is good because he is very similar,” he explained.
- The captain of the national team also referred to his teammates on the national team. “We stay here until late. We play tricks a lot. I defend myself and I like it. I am conservative. We play in threes. “I usually play with Rodrigo De Paul and Leandro Paredes,” he said, adding: “I value him a lot and in some ways I am going to miss him.”
- Lionel Messi spoke about his last years in football. “I live day to day and I don’t think about what might happen. Although age is a number, I feel very good,” he said.
- The man from Rosario referred to the Copa América that will begin this week. “Today we can say that we are the best, but it does not mean that we are going to win it walking. It is going to be very close, all the teams are very complicated,” he admitted.
- In another fragment of the interview he referred to his friend and former teammate Neymar, who will not be present in the competition. “It’s a shame. Brazil players have one million. More than enough because he continually takes out. Although Ney is not there, he has a million. A very strong and very competitive team,” he remarked.
- One of the most disturbing questions was whether he sees himself in the next World Cup that will be played in 2026. “I said it a little… I don’t know what’s going to happen two years from now, I don’t know how I’m going.” to be physically, if I am going to be there to continue contributing things, that is why I don’t know if I am going to be as I said at the time,” Messi responded.
- One of the events that gave soccer fans so much joy was seeing Lionel Messi lift the World Cup, regardless of their nationality. About that he spoke: “I felt it. Many people let me know that way. My own companions. ‘I want to become world champion more because of him’ my teammates said. “I was always grateful for the love I received in my career.”
- Finally, Messi spoke about the World Cup final against France. “It’s football and it happens. Everything happens for a reason and everything is written. If it has to be, it will be. It’s already marked. God had kept it that it had to be this way,” he expressed.
