He has already scored three great goals. He has already crowned his tenth hat-trick in Argentina. He has already scored 112 goals with the albiceleste in 189 games. He became the second highest scorer for the national teams, surpassing Iranian Ali Daei (109) and approaching Cristiano Ronaldo (133). The recital is over Lionel Messi in Monumental that also included two assists. However, 10 still has room to surprise and stimulate words…
This is when they asked him if at this level he could imagine playing the World Cup 2026. And Leo, although he did not confirm, hinted that he is enjoying being in the albiceleste and is close to playing in his sixth World Cup. “The truth is, I didn’t set a date or deadlines. I’m just enjoying all this. I’m more excited than ever to be here and feel the love of the people. I have to finish the year and have a good preseason for the next I want to take it step by step and enjoy every day,” said Leo.
A sign that Messi continues to think of himself in the national team and therefore approaching the next World Cup is another phrase. They asked him what moves him and he replied: “This. I’m happy with my teammates. Despite my age, when I’m here I feel like a child because of the stupid things I do. I feel very comfortable with this team. As long as t feel good, see “I can help the team and perform the way I want, I will continue to enjoy.”
The captain defined what inspires him to play in his country: “It’s great to come here, feel the love, hear them sing my name… I love playing in Argentina. There is a great connection with the people .” “The National Team has been playing this way for a long time. A lot of people are comfortable playing between the lines,” Leo said. And he identified a couple of young players who are already on this call.
He sent a hug to Valentín Carboni, who suffered a torn cruciate ligament. And then he referred to the debut of the Spanish-Argentine Nicolás Paz: “He has a lot of quality, he understands the game. I hope players of this type continue to appear and we can continue this game. Nico has a wonderful -great head and will grow more.
