A couple of days after Lionel Mis if will talk about everything ESPN, the repercussions keep coming. And this Friday Gerardo Martino, his coach at Inter Miami, was consulted about the possibility of being the last technical director in the Argentine star’s career.
In an extensive note with Martín Arévalo from the United States, where he is preparing for the Copa América, number 10 indicated: “I think that today Inter Miami is going to be my last club. Afterwards I don’t know how it will continue. I do not know the truth. I don’t even want to think about what’s going to happen between now and the World Cup, imagine later. “I want to continue enjoying day to day, go step by step and let things happen as they have to happen.”
And Tata, who also coached him in Barcelona and the Argentine National Team, responded: “He gave it as a probable. A probable last team. There is always the possibility that not. Undoubtedly, when one talks about this type of players who have scored an entire era in the history of football, when we begin to see that the end is approaching, we intend to think for them and extend their careers. I think that in short, both Leo and his family are prepared or are anticipating and preparing for when it arrives. the end that, undoubtedly, comes to everyone.”
“We hope and have the desire for him to play forever. Of course, the way he does it, he could prolong his career much longer than other footballers. But sooner or later the end comes. “He, the only thing he has done now is express it,” he concluded at a press conference.
Recently, Lionel Scaloni had also been consulted about Messi’s retirement, pointing out that “Argentines are too melancholic”, since they are thinking about the day when he is gone, when he still plays.
Messi, soon to turn 37 and away from the competitive pressure of European football, stated in ESPN: “I am not ready to leave football. I did this all my life, I love playing ball. “I enjoy the training, the day to day, the games.”
“It was a difficult step to leave Europe to come here, the fact of having won the world championship helped a lot to see things in a different way as well. But I don’t think about it, I try to enjoy it, that’s why I enjoy everything much more because I am aware that each less time to go and I’m having a good time at the club with the luck that I have to have teammates and friends by my side,” said the man from Rosario, who “doesn’t see himself as a coach,” although “with life’s twists and turns you never know.” but he does imagine himself linked to football.
