Jorge Valdano He is one of the privileged ones in Argentine soccer who knows how much the World Cup weighs, since he was champion in Mexico in 1986 and also with a more than important influence on the team led by Carlos Salvador Bilardo.
After the new star achieved by the Argentine team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the former striker revealed a dialogue he had with Lionel Messi before the final against France.
“In this World Cup he did not run much and he was very decisive. I did an interview with him a week before the World Cup and off camera I made a joke. “Well, you will be among those who have played five World Cups.” Before leaving he tells me ‘If I’m world champion, I’ll keep my shirt on until the next World Cup’. I dont know. This euphoria is going to help him stay in the Argentina shirt for a while longer. We’ll see if it reaches another world cup.”said Valdano with Cope.
“I have never seen him so relaxed or mature. He has had more pressure than in his entire life, but he has been seen to be more liberated. They are football paradoxes. Winning the Copa América at the Maracana helped a lot because it freed Messi”, closed the 67-year-old man who always shows a lot of wisdom when talking about football.
