Messi spoke for the first time after winning the World Cup

Leo Messi spoke for the first time a few weeks after the conquest of world together Argentina. The Rosario star gave an interview to Andy Kusnetzoff in Paris where he reflected on the success achieved by the albiceleste team.

“I always thank God. I know he will give me a worldI don’t know, I just felt it,” he said. Messi in one of the advances published in the Perros de la Calle program. “Fortunately, we had a lot of dreams. Fortunately, it happened in the end. From that day everything changed for me. Now we can say,” he added.

Messi highlighted the happiness that invaded Argentina in celebrations that lasted for days. “It’s crazy, the happiness of people, big people, men, of all ages. The happiness they have is indescribable.”

The Cup he lifted was the original

“I don’t know why there was trouble in the Cup. I raised the good ones and then during the celebrations there was half a mess. We don’t know if it was real or not, but I was ahead of my companions. It’s heavy.”

About the festival: “I was talking about it with the boys, I think I said it before it happened. Everything I imagined would be small compared to what would actually happen and it was. It was something more than I thought, what happened to the people, to my feelings, to my family, to Argentina. It was more than I thought and that was no small thing, the thought of being world champion. It is something big and it is more”.

Many wish Argentina success: “Obviously everyone wants their country to be the champion first and while they are left behind they join Argentina because they want me to be the world champion. This is something I have heard for a long time, before it started too. More than that everyone went with their country, people wanted me to win. I never thought anything like this would happen, it was all that energy that made it happen in the end.”

The ritual with Antonela before the final: “The truth is that we follow more or less what we did in the World Cup. We talked before going to bed, without touching the game or anything special. We did the usual routine, every day before the games or the two, three days we repeat the same thing. I was very calm, I slept very well, during the whole World Cup I was very relaxed, I felt that we were fine, that I was okay, that we were doing everything to make it happen and very calm me. I slept well and I’m not nervous about wanting the game to come. Bah, yes, but I know how to handle it well”.

A preferred cup: “I told them (my family) that it was over after so much time, so much suffering because there were times when I had a lot of trouble with the national team. Lots of disappointments, always been so close and never happened. I have received criticism of all colors for a long time and I know that my family has suffered as much as I have or more. They always want to show me that they are whole, that they are strong. But I know that inside they are suffering a lot, not only because it didn’t happen, but because of the hurtful things they said to me, which goes beyond football. That really made me suffer and hurt me. It’s like closing the circle. We won the Copa América, we won the World Cup, that’s all. No more, it’s over.”

Streaming with Agüero in the middle of the World Cup: “With Kun we had arranged that after the first game we will do that. After what happened in Arabia I said no to Kun. I want to do something alone, what do we do alone? I brought one of the kids and we laughed for a while. Papu arrived and soon they joined the others. They know because they follow the Kun and it comes out naturally. I want to reach people like this because they see us relaxing, in a different way. It is not normal to see ourselves like this and that is what we are on a daily basis. We really enjoyed the National Team.”

Feeling complete: “It’s hard to explain what I was feeling at that moment. It’s a bit like before with my family and the gesture, many things come to your mind and at the same time nothing, it’s like you’re gone. Enjoying the moment, can’t believe we’ve finally arrived. I tell you it’s very difficult to explain what it felt like at that moment, but it’s like: There, it’s done, it’s been given to me, I’ve reached everything in the National Team, I’ve reached everything in my career, in Barcelona,​​​​ individually, closing my career in a unique way. When I started all this I never thought it would turn out like this. To get to that moment is the best.”

He never saw the final again: “Not at all. I never saw him again. I saw summaries, plays, I saw many people celebrate when we are world champions. But the final itself, the 90 minutes, I didn’t see them”.

The ‘Mole Gigio’ for Van Gaal: “The truth is that I did not (prepare). He left at that time and he knew what was said before the game, what he said. Some of my classmates said to me ‘did you see what he said’ on purpose. We got 2-0 and then at the moment, I didn’t like what I did, what happened later in ‘go over there’. These are moments of great tension, a lot of nervousness, everything happens so fast and you don’t have time to think about anything. Actually, nothing was planned, it just happened and as I say, I don’t like to leave that image.

His conversations with Riquelme during the World Cup: “I spoke with Román after the World Cup. Actually, he writes to me after the games and from time to time I talk. But in this World Cup after the games we talked to each other, he had some crosses with Van Gaal in Barcelona and yesterday he said that about me. Román whenever he speaks about me has a title of that style, as I say we often talk to him ”.

Explain “Andá pa’allá, stupid”: “Everything that came out was natural, a lot happened on the field with that player in reality and a couple more. At the moment of tension, friction, crossing, when the game became like that, the referee was also feverish. I was in the mixed zone and just finished of the game. And well, I know there’s everything now”.

He was sick after the celebration: “I don’t know, some started with fernet, some with soda. You just didn’t realize it, the sun didn’t hit or you didn’t realize it in the wind of the bus. When I got home, everything was red, shit, sleep was poor , sunstroke, headache. I had a fever for two days, everything burned. The collapse of everything we went through. The first two, three days were half bad. But I got it cheap because it was expensive, when they took off the shirt, it was a disaster. But at that moment it was like the sun hadn’t risen yet. When we got to the property, my whole face was hot, it was horrible.”

The absence of Maradona: “Yes, obviously. If he was there, he would have given it to me, but he wanted me to see the World Champion Team what he wanted. The image would have been very nice too. I think that from above both he and many people who wanted a well for me it gave me strength, not only for this, but for everything in general. They are especially in this World Cup, with a song that became a boom for the whole world and from above they push ” .
