National Argentinian and Newls Old Boys they gave a friendly to honor him Maxi Rodriguez who decided to retire at the age of 42.
THE Lionel Messi after the game he talked about the moment he will leave his beloved round goddess, while he also mentioned the World Cup.
“It’s been a while since I spent my birthday in Rosario, with my family and friends. It’s actually my first birthday as a world champion, so it’s very special. It’s always special to be in Rosario.
As I had not long ago: it was our turn to become world champions, but behind us were millions of impressive players who did great things with the national team and who simply had not been able to win the Cup.
Even though what we did was something unique, every player dreams of what’s to come more than what they did. So when it’s my turn to leave football, I’ll remember and enjoy what I’ve achieved much more compared to now.”
