S<\/span>Caroni appeared before the media at a press conference ahead of Argentina’s match against Zambia. The Argentine coach assessed the team’s current situation and expected time management ahead of the friendly. However, the Albiceleste manager had an “interesting” impression of what could be Leo Messi’s last World Cup.<\/p>\n“The important thing is that he has already won the World Cup. If he finally decides to take part, it is important that he comes and enjoys it. The important thing is that he enjoys participating in the World Cup, although theoretically this is the last tournament, although I would not dare to say that word,” Scaloni said.<\/p>\n
“There are no other words. The important thing is that he has fun and I repeat that. When you stop playing, all that disappears, especially the World Cup. I only played once, but I still remember it. Imagine, it’s unforgettable,” continued the Argentina coach.<\/p>\n
“All I can tell him is to enjoy it, be with his teammates and accept it as it is. Of course we already know that he is competitive, there is no doubt about that, but he should enjoy it, because he has earned the right to make decisions and to see how things go without feeling pressure to win,” the Argentina national team coach said.<\/p>\n
“I said before that he didn’t need to win, but now he doesn’t need to win, so there’s all the more reason. I said he didn’t need to win, but now there’s even more reason. Let him come out and enjoy it, because it’s not just us Argentines who want to see him, everyone wants to see him practice and play. That’s what everyone expects,” Scaloni concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
