Lionel Messi started playing the semi-final against Canada from before leaving the playing field. He did it in the privacy of the locker room. Again with a special harangue, which further motivated his companions. 10 has a message to give. It includes a friend, a partner in many soccer adventures. And I felt it in my heart …
Rodrigo De Paul, coming out of the locker room, recounted in detail everything the captain said: “Leo always has precise words. “Now he touched on that point which he obviously knew would motivate us more.”
There the Atlético midfielder went deeper: “Leo told us that Fide’s last game has to be in the final. And that we can achieve together. Well, we did it. Fide will retire as he should, play another final. Fide is Noodle. Angel Di María, of course.
In the same response, De Paul took the opportunity to say: “The legacy left by Di María is eternal. This is the one with the goals in the finals, the one that broke the wall, the one that deserves all kinds of recognition. One of the best to wear our shirt. For me it is a great pride to walk this path next to him, to win titles. I hope we can crown Fide in this Copa América final. We will try one more time. Very few players have the power to decide when the end is. I’m so glad he made this decision. He got the power to make the decision. You must have thought a lot about this, many of your family have talked about it. Many moments passed. It would be better if he left like this. I enjoyed it from day one. In this Cup, we talk about very little. We decided to have fun and laugh. He knows we love him and want him forever. But this is a very personal decision. And whatever you decide is fine.”
After De Paul’s message, Enzo Fernández appeared in the mixed zone and returned to Messi’s harangue: “Leo said some exciting words and we came out very motivated. “We want to help Fide to leave the National Team by playing in the final.”
Later, Leo passed by the same place. He had spoken earlier in different places, but there he stopped again to say something. And he defined his motivating message. Of course, true to his style of naturalizing everything, the captain relativized: “I don’t remember the truth… They are words that come out, that we feel. “I don’t really remember what I said.” He insisted and added some questions: “I remember that I talked about Fide, about the fun here, about trying to play another final, that we value everything we do, which is not easy to achieve achieved, a little of all that” .And Argentina, Messi and Di María will play another final.
