Messi has his Argentina future in his own hands: Scaloni
Messi revealed after the 2022 World Cup final that he would continue to play for the Albiceleste amidst speculations that he could hang up his international boots at the age of 35. Scaloni however, has left the door open for Messi to decide whether he wants to be a part of his squad at the next World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States in 2026. The Argentina boss will leave any retirement decision completely up to the maestro.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Scaloni said, “Messi will continue to come until he says otherwise. I see him happy on the pitch and within the selection. Leo’s looking good to me. He deserves all that love. He and all the players who are here deserve to go out and receive that love because they have not been able to live it.”
Scaloni has also asked players to avoid being complacent after their triumph in Qatar. Talking about his team, he said, “We are world champions, but that doesn’t mean we have the right to more. Just because we win we can’t do whatever we want. That’s what [the players] have to understand. The message is that a new process is beginning: the pitch is what rules. From there on, those who are world champions have no advantage, we will have to keep working.”
