TIL Desk Sports/ The captain of the Argentine national football team, Lionel Messi, said despite the “faith” he has in his squad, they must go into the Russia World Cup with a “calm” attitude and not take victory for granted because he doesn’t feel that they are “the best” in the tourney this time around.
“We have players with a lot of ability, with a lot of experience, but we have to go calmly. Also, we can’t send the message that we’re going to emerge world champions because we’re the best, because, in reality, it’s not like that,” Messi admitted during a television interview. Messi said that it’s more important “to go game by game” and focus on winning their first encounter with Iceland on June 16.
Although a few years ago, “nobody expected” that Iceland would be a dangerous rival, Messi acknowledged that now the team is able to “mess up anyone,” as it showed during the last European Cup and during the island squad’s qualification matches when they emerged tied with Croatia for leadership in their group.
