As always, Diego Maradona is the 'God' of football for the people of Argentina. Lionel Messi's name is also mentioned as his worthy successor. However, many people think that Messi could not take the place of Maradona in the hearts of the countrymen.
When the entire football world is engrossed in the magic of Messi's left foot, a young journalist from that country revealed how much Messi is loved by the people of his own country.
After Argentina's 3-0 semi-final win over Croatia, Argentina captain Messi said, 'I want to tell you one thing, no matter what the outcome of the final, one thing no one can take away from you.'
"I want to tell you one thing, no matter what the result of the final game, one thing no one can take away from you," said Sofia Martinez, the journalist of that country, in harmony with the captain of Argentina.
Sofia said, 'Your name is in the hearts of the people of Argentina. They all have you in mind. There is not a single child in the country, who has not bought a jersey with your name on it. Be it fake, genuine, or made by someone.'
Sofia also said, 'I have a bigger achievement than winning a World Cup. No one can take this honor away from you. You have been a source of happiness in the lives of countless people. Thank you for everything.'
After the semi-final, Messi announced that the final match would be his last game for the country. After that, he will not be seen playing for Argentina.
Messi has won the best of the year award 7 times in his football career so far. In any interview, one question keeps coming back to him, more Ballon d'Or, not the World Cup.
Messi has repeatedly replied that it is his eternal dream to kiss the World Cup in his hand. The honor is several times more expensive than the FIFA Player of the Year award. He wants to bring the country one more World Cup. To fulfill that dream, Messi will get the last chance against France in the final of the World Cup in Qatar on Sunday.
