Hardly had a huge blue and white party finished, suddenly, Leo Messi triggered an intrigue that triggers thousands of interpretations. “After the World Cup, I’m going to rethink a lot of things,” Leo said. And he free way for speculation.
Was it your last time with the National Team in an official match for points played in Argentina? Could it be that he will no longer play for the South American Qualifiers? Will his career turn around after Qatar, will he leave Paris, where he was whistled lately, to return to Barcelona? Or will he make a stop at Newell’s? Will he retire after the World Cup?
Messi smiled at the Bombonera, in the 3-0 against Venezuela. He scored a goal with an imperfect forehand touch, his 700th goal wearing a 10 shirt. He also enjoyed the game and in the end he played with the people, singing that Argentina “is a feeling…” and listening to the crowd announcing “that hand in hand of Leo Messi all the turn we are going to give”.
The light blue and white 10 gave force to a confirmation that has been intuited: “I’ve been happy here for a long time, since before winning the Copa América.” And he explained: “It’s a wonderful group. People show me that they love me. And I’m grateful. Of course, everything flows more naturally after having been champions in Brazil.”
At one point Messi was asked if this was his last game in the country before the World Cup or if he would never play in Argentina again under any circumstances. That’s where the surprise arose: “I’m thinking about what’s coming now, in Qatar. But after the World Cup I’m going to rethink a lot of things.”
