The harsh confession of Messi that breaks the hearts of the fans of Argentina

Lionel Messi has always been characterized by speaking more on the field than in front of the microphones, so when he speaks it is a pleasant surprise. The long wait of four and a half years comes to an end, because in eight days the Qatar 2022 World Cup finally begins.

Among the undisputed candidates to lift the cup at the Lusail Stadium on December 18, are France, Brazil and Argentina. Now Lionel Messi, leader of the 'albiceleste', spoke for 'Diario Olé'. It is clear that Lionel Messi does not like to be labeled as ‘favourites’, and wants to take pressure off the group and lower the expectations of the Argentine fan, which is why he and the squad are psyched up for a not very favorable scenario.

This is what he said: "This group is prepared for the bad. In fact, we got out of there. This group was formed when we lost to Brazil in the Copa América semis in 2019 and from there all this was generated. We are going to be prepared, hopefully we don't experience such bad things and let's move on', commented the '10'.

Messi surprised with his confession, because one would think that the pressure he feels would be caused by the press or the fans themselves, however he begins at home: ‘Thiago is watching videos of the National Team all the time. Possible crosses, games, rivals... he is anxious and puts terrible pressure. There is a great anxiety in the family, especially in Antonella and him, ’ said Leo.

Messi's fixtures in Qatar:

Lionel Messi will face Argentina against Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland, in that order respectively. Argentina seeks to pass as first place in its group and thus have the maximum chance of winning the World Cup or at least reaching the final, a final that could be played against Brazil.
