“As a difference (to their previous World Cups), it’s another moment of the season, we arrived physically in a different way. We didn’t have a previous month like it used to happen. We knew it would be like that and we are prepared. It’s always special to play a World Cup, the whole atmosphere I always got a rhythm and felt comfortable when I played the most and had minutes. That’s what I tried to get here, I didn’t do anything special.”
This is how Messi faces his fifth and, most likely, last World Cup. He was only almost 19 years old when he played his first World Cup in Germany in 2006 and since then very little has changed. Already 35 years old, the Argentine captain now faces this tournament with greater maturity and experience, also with the peace of mind of having been able to succeed lately with his team, something that he resisted for a long time. He will surely be one of the great protagonists of the event. He arrives at a great sporting moment and is called to shine more than ever. The whole country of him hopes mainly in him.
