The Argentina National Team is commanded by Lionel Messi , maximum soccer star in recent years and who has always been compared to different important figures in the country and internationally.
It is for this reason that Javier Zanetti, Argentina international on 146 occasions and participant on two World Cups, spoke about Leo Messi and placed him at the same table as Diego Armando Maradona.
“Messi is a great player, I think he is at the par de Diego”, pointed out to journalists during a tournament of world soccer legends that was held this Thursday in Doha.
“I think many people want Messi to win because of what he represents in the world and because of the way he interprets football. Lio deserves it and the boys are making a great effort to reach that moment”, stated Zanetti, who was of the opinion that the PSG striker ” is the most s strongest in the world” and that in the national team “makes a difference on the field” and inside the locker room.
Together, the former defender also spoke about his desire to bring the World Cup to Argentina, something that is very close to happening. ” I hope Argentina can bring the World Cup to our country”, expressed the former Inter winger of Milan, who considered that Messi is not exercising a ‘Maradonian’ leadership in the tournament, but rather “it is Messi’s leadership, how he is interpreting his World Cup”.
Finally, Zanetti spoke about the France squad and pointed out that they will face against a rival like France, the defending champions, and about whom many things concern him.
“ I’m worried about Mbappe, Griezmann, Giroud, if Rabiot played, who is a quality player, and has a great goalkeeper. It is a group that has been working for a long time with this coach. It is a very complete team, very organized. But it is a final and everything can happen ”, he declared.
