Talk about football stories and taste life. Hello golfers! Today the uncle will talk about it. The just-concluded Argentina International Friendlies. In the just-concluded match between Argentina and Panama, Argentina won 2-0. Messi scored from a direct free-kick in the second half. This game uncle feels that there are several points worth paying attention to.
Before the first match, Argentina was in collective tears from the head coach to the players. Especially the moment when the national anthem was played, Martinez, Messi and including Scaloni all shed tears. At that moment, they may have thought of the unforgettable journey during the World Cup in Qatar. They may have thought of the thrill of World Cup finals night.
They may have thought that such a scene should be cherished. In this match, Argentina started the same as the World Cup final. But how long will such a lineup be used? Maybe it won't be long before someone leaves and someone enters again. There is no unbroken feast in the world. This is the norm in life.
Second, Messi scored his 800th career goal from a second-half free-kick. That includes 672 goals for Barça, 29 for Paris, and 99 for Argentina. It just so happened that the uncle saw the news yesterday that the 32-year-old "successor of Messi", former Barca star Bojan, announced his retirement on March 23.
Bojan was once hailed as the next Messi, breaking several records at the age of 17 and once playing alongside Messi. Today, the 32-year-old Messi's successor has retired, and the 35-year-old Messi has won the World Cup and still plays in the five major leagues. In contrast, Messi's greatness is shown. How rare it is to stand out in the fierce competition and stand at the top for more than ten years.
Third, a topic that I don't want to mention, but I have to mention, that is, who is the next Messi? Messi will one day retire from this stage. So who will take over Messi's mantle? Is it Mbappe? Is it Haaland? Or someone else? Did this person show up? It's hard to say now.
We only hope that Messi can keep his sports life as long as possible, and bring us more surprises in the process of enjoying football.
Well, that's it for today about Argentina and about Messi. See you next time.
