Argentina striker Lionel Messi reacted to numerous publications predicting the Argentine national team to win the 2022 World Cup.
“In modern football, any opponent is difficult. In one context or another. In addition, it is important to remember that we have not had many matches with European teams lately. This means that such matches at the 2022 World Cup will be difficult for both opponents.
In addition, among the European teams there are enough dangerous rivals. For example, the French team. She inspires fear. Because of his selection of players and coach. But, at the same time, the Brazilian national team is now a very high-quality squad. Perhaps this line-up lacks balance, but Neymar is in it.
Yes, the World Cup will be held at a great time for the Argentina national team. We are in good shape now. But I would be extremely cautious about statements that Argentina is almost obliged to win the 2022 World Cup. It's crazy to say that even before the start of the tournament. We will go step by step, ”Messi quotes Mundo Deportivo.
