Beijing time today, Messi released a video, in response to the former Argentine international Maxi Rodriguez announced his retirement, Messi sent blessings to his former teammates. Messi said: "As a professional player, it is a great honor to play alongside Maxi Rodriguez – Leo Messi".
Messi and Rodriguez are not only teammates in the national team, there is also an intersection between the two, that is, the Newell Old Boys - Messi's playing career began with the Newell Old Boys, and Maxi not only debuted in the Newell Old Boys, but also played in the last team before retiring, which was also the Newell Old Boys.
A few days ago, Rodriguez announced the end of his career: "It was a tough decision, but I was also calm. I've given everything in my career for so long that now I don't have a drop of oil in my tank, and I'm giving it all. "Moving to Atletico in the summer of 2005, Rodriguez reached his peak. In the summer of 2010, he moved to England and joined Liverpool, scoring several key goals during his two years at the club.
Rodriguez's national team career was also very brilliant. He made a total of 43 appearances for Argentina, scoring 12 goals (16 goals in 57 appearances in friendly matches). The highest honor was helping Argentina to world cup runner-up in 2014. His highlight was when he beat Mexico in extra time in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup.
Some veteran fans still remember this world wave goal vividly. A fan used this goal to tell his good memories: "In the 2006 World Cup, I was in my second year of junior high school, and I still remember that after the goal of the world wave, many students who played wild balls together in the school football field competed to imitate. It's been 15 or 6 years, and [we] don't have that football atmosphere anymore. ”
In fact, the World Cup does not need to score more goals, wonderful + important on the line. Germany's Götze has been blowing his head on the World Cup final, scoring Argentina's winning goal. Rodriguez's proudest thing is a world-class shootout - on the edge of the penalty area, the ball is stopped on the chest, the left foot volley is turned sideways, and the ball is scored into the dead corner of the goal. Argentina advances to the quarterfinals! It's wonderful, it's too important.
