In the just-concluded World Preliminary Round south American competition, Messi led Argentina to a 3-0 victory over Venezuela and advanced to the Qatar World Cup, Messi scored a new record, and people began to look forward to Messi's fifth World Cup. However, objectively speaking, the current prospects for Messi and Argentina are not clear.
Messi, 34, has experienced too many twists and turns at the club, and his value has plummeted. Once upon a time, Messi sat on the first throne of The German "Transfer Market" for several years, only C Ronaldo was seen in his eyes, and in four years his value plummeted from 180 million euros to 60 million euros.
Another authority, CIES (Football Observatory), has a lower valuation of Messi's current value, and in the data updated on March 15, Messi's value is valued at between 40 million and 50 million euros.
However, although the value has dropped again and again, Messi is still the second most expensive player in Argentina, second only to Inter striker Lautaro, which shows the "civilian" temperament of the Argentine national team now, and it is really difficult to say how far the World Cup can go.
Although, with age, the decline in value is an inevitable trend, but the naked numbers are also cruel in front of them. The introverted Messi still has to lead the national team forward, in the club, he also has to get out of the haze, the difficulty of middle-aged men, it is really not for others to understand.
