The validity that the man from Rosario showed in Qatar is exciting for what is to come, to start the path to the new World Cup that has the South American Qualifiers and the next Copa América as the tournaments to parade with the third star.
There were many years of disappointments and ingratitude and now the time has come to enjoy. And to defend the world title.
Messi’s cup
“Cheering on Lionel.” Messi sing, enjoy, enjoy and have fun. She does it like a child. It is that in the winter heat of Doha time seems to go backwards for the Argentine captain.
His game once again mixed the cerebral with the physical. He found in this team the peace he needed. She returned the adrenaline. He is serene, full and focused, rejuvenated; so why leave a place where the smile prevails more than the grim gesture? Why give up three or four years of an environment where you feel comfortable and where you seem to have returned to your firmest roots?
Everything will be in it, of course, but for the first time in his 17 years as a national team, all the seasonings came together to make one of the most wonderful recipes in the history of Argentine soccer. People love him and let him know in every corner of the country, of the world, that he steps on. He has a team behind him that defends and protects him like no one else, that plays well (with nuances like everyone else), but that makes him the protagonist and blindly follows him.
The coaching staff escapes the flashes and gives the squad peace of mind and the rightful place. Then Was all this achieved because it was won or was it won because all this was achieved?
In a chaotic, disorderly and, with justifications, suspected local football, the Argentine team was finally able to get away from all that and be the bubble that Messi, the best player on the planet for over 15 years, he needed. When his career took an unexpected turn, as was the departure from Barcelona, the colors of his homeland appeared to shelter him. Those who many times, in the mouth of a few, mistreated him. The Rosario returned to the sources and there he is, with his full smile, with football from 15 years ago, making a fool of himself, and along the way with his short piques, players up to 10 years younger than him. Him having fun being the puppeteer of his rivals, entangling them in their own strings because of his clever legs.
Rejoicing when your game strategy works and achieving the expected results. In what may be his last World Cup, Lionel Messi returned to play all the matches of a World Cuponce again he managed to reach a final and with a prominence never before achieved, not even in his early years. He scored seven goals in seven games, two in the final and three more between the round of 16, the quarterfinals and the semifinals.
The whole football world thinks so, and also wants it: Messi is here to continue playing in the Argentine team.
In the World Cup in Qatar, the calendar seemed to be just an accumulation of meaningless numbers that the man from Rosario made a fool of once again. With him enjoying the group that was formed and to top it off managing to be competitive as in his best times and also transcendent and leader of a team that is world champion and still has a lot to grow, the illusion grows and the banner, recited as a campaign politics, rumbles louder and louder in everyone’s mind: Lionel Messi 2026 is a possible dream.
Was it his dream?
