We all know that just a few years ago Messi was infected, but after a period of isolation and active treatment, he also successfully turned negative in the nucleic acid test. He has also returned to Greater Paris, but for some reason, Messi has not yet participated in the first race of the year. It is still training alone, on the one hand, to reduce the risk of re-infection, on the other hand, it is also possible to carry out training-related activities in a relatively comfortable environment. This is definitely a choice for Messi, the best of both worlds, after all, the body is the most important, to know that Messi is now about to turn 35 years old, only to maintain a good state is the best choice!
It is worth mentioning that at the end of January, Argentina will play a world preliminary match with another national team. According to ESPN's relevant news reports, Messi will not participate in the national team training activities at the end of the month, which may be a bad news for the Argentine team! But for Messi and the entire Argentine team, in fact, the impact is not large, after all, Argentina has advanced in the World Cup qualifiers in south America, so Argentina has no worries about whether it can appear! For Messi, the most important thing he needs to do now is to fully recover his body in time and then complete the club game in Paris first.
Even Messi himself said that he spent more time on the recovery of his body than expected, which shows that the impact of this infection on Messi is still quite large. Messi is still training alone, and next, there are several league games in Paris, but Messi will not be able to play in the Ligue 1 match against Brest this weekend. So far this season, the 34-year-old Messi has played in 16 games, scoring six goals and contributing four assists. This data has indeed slipped a lot for the previous performance, but after all, this is a new team for Messi, and it will definitely take time to adapt. Besides, such a performance is actually good, but because he is Messi, everyone's requirements are more demanding!
Messi's voluntary abandonment of the January national team match may be good news for argentina's young players! After all, Argentina is now in a stage of renewal, this is a new stage, veterans are slowly losing, the team to continue to maintain competitiveness, but also must draw vitality from a new generation of young players! Messi is not in the Argentine team, there will inevitably be other players to take his place, and there will definitely be new players to stand up for the captain, which is of great help to the cohesion and unity of the whole team! After all, completely relying on Messi is not a rational choice, only to achieve more comprehensive, more unity can go further on the stage of the World Cup!
