After starting a new adventure in America, Lionel Messi spoke about the end of his career as a professional footballer.
At the height of his 36 years, Lionel Messi offers himself a second youth on the other side of the Atlantic. The Argentinian world champion has been on fire since joining Inter Miami, where he stacked goals like pearls to carry the Major League Soccer franchise on his shoulders. An experience that contrasts with his spleen displayed during his two years at Paris Saint-Germain.
Usually discreet in the media, Messi never misses the opportunity to remind that he did not want to come to Paris. ” We had spent two difficult years (in Paris, editor’s note). The truth is that it didn’t go well, we struggled. In Miami, it’s a bit like going back to the life we had in Barcelona: enjoying everyday life, the children, in a family that is doing well. I also appreciate the sports daily, which was not the case. Now that a bit of time has passed I can say we were right that this was the right place to come“, he again launched in an interview with Apple TV +.
But this interview was also an opportunity to discuss the moment of retirement. A deadline that haunts all the great champions of the king sport. Can Messi hang up his boots at the end of the current season? It doesn’t seem relevant yet. The Argentinian made strong remarks.
” I like to play, to be on the field with a ball, to compete and to train. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be playing, but I’ll try to enjoy it while I can, as long as I’m fine, and we’ll see. The most important thing is to take advantage of what is left, whether it is a lot or a little. You have to enjoy every moment because it won’t come back and I don’t want to regret anything“. An outing that should delight Pulga fans.
