Great Messi: “Let’s not forget those players who gave everything for Argentina, but didn’t make it”

by

A leading speech was given by Lionel Messi from microphone to “Monumental” at Argentina’s fiesta for winning the World Cup. The 35-year-old superstar was deified, but he did not forget how many teams and players of the “Albiceleste” had fought in previous years for such success, but without succeeding.

I’ve been dreaming of this moment all my life and to be able to celebrate this success together is great. I know it’s a day of celebration, but I don’t want us to forget those players who went before and for various reasons couldn’t make it. We had come close again to the Copa America and the World Cup and we didn’t win them then for details. But those teams also deserve the respect and recognition of the Argentine people, because they gave everything for this shirt“, said “Leo”.

Now we can enjoy it, because we had to wait many years to conquer it and we don’t know how long we will have to wait to succeed again. I hope it won’t be that many years again, but it has been shown how difficult it is to win the World Cup. It depends on so many things, on details and it is not enough just to have a very good team“, added Messi, who throughout his speech did not stop stroking the “Jilles Rimet”, which was placed in front of him.

A little later, speaking in the mixed zone, he said: “We suffered a lot until we succeeded, it was not easy. I remember that there were bad moments, because things didn’t turn out the way we wanted. We have lost finals in the Copa America and the World Cup. But all that we went through made the feeling for winning the World Cup more intense. The reward is much greater that way».
