“It’s difficult for it to happen, but well, as I said recently, I enjoy the moment, the day to day, being here. Now there are qualifying and Copa América matches. It’s going too far to think about the next World Cup when we just finished one.”Messi pointed out.
“In the national team we seek to enjoy day to day. During the last two years it was difficult for me because it was not as I would have liked. Now, I want to think about what is to come. As I said, now a new cycle begins. This continues, we cannot stay with what has already happened. You have to enjoy each reunion”, added Messi, who acknowledged that the friendly against Australia “was difficult to play due to the heat and humidity” but that they continue “with the same idea”.
