Lionel Messi 37, Miami, who has really achieved everything, expressed his thoughts on retirement.
“Lionel Messi admitted that he had achieved everything he could, but said it was not time to leave the ground yet,” global soccer media outlet “Goal Dotcom” said on the 27th .
Messi is one of the top three legends in the history of world football along with Pele and Diego Maradona. In particular, Messi earned the title of “GOAT” by directly leading his country Argentina to the title at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
He made his professional debut in a FC Barcelona jersey on 16 October 2004 against RCD Espanyol, scoring his professional debut goal with the assist of Ronaldinho in a home game against Albacete Balompier in January 2005. This is Messi’s first goal of 806 to date.
Messi, who has grown steadily since then, has scored 672 goals in Barcelona alone, and during this period, he has lifted a total of 35 trophies, including four UEFA Champions League wins 2005-2006, 2008-2009, 2010-2011 and 10 Spanish La Liga wins 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2008-2009, 2010-2011, 2012-2013, 2014-2015, 2017-2018, 2018-2019.
Messi and Barcelona stayed together for the 2020-2021 season, which seemed to last forever. Messi agreed to renew contract with Barcelona in the summer of 2021 and accepted the condition that his salary be cut by 50 percent, but ended up saying goodbye to the club in tears as his financial problems were not resolved. 안전놀이터
Messi then headed to Paris Saint-Germain PSG. At PSG as well, he played in 75 official matches, and garnered 32 goals and 35 assists, showing off his stellar performance as ever.
Messi, who has performed incredibly every season, has won the Ballon d’Or eight times 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021, 2022, which is awarded to the best performing player of the year.
Messi lacked only one trophy. It is the World Cup trophy.
Messi, who wore Argentina’s captain’s armband at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, led Argentina to the championship with a total of seven goals and three assists.
Messi was named the POTM in five of the matches he played from the group stage to the final in the championship. Notably, he was named the POTM in all of the matches from the round of 16, the quarterfinals, the semifinals and the final.
During his career, he won eight Ballon d’Or, eight FIFA Player of the Year, 10 La Liga wins, 10 La Liga MVPs, four UEFA Champions League wins, one Copa America win, one World Cup win and two World Cup Golden Ball wins.
Messiah has achieved everything as a player. He himself knew this well.
“When I feel like I’m no longer ready for the game or I can’t enjoy it anymore, I’ll retire when I feel like I can’t help my teammates,” said Messi, who was interviewed on the “Big Time” podcast.
“I remain very critical of myself. I know when I’m good, when I’m bad, when I’m not playing well. Age is not a problem. I will always try to compete if I feel good,” he said. Retirement has nothing to do with age.
Messi said, “I haven’t thought about life after retirement yet. I haven’t thought about what to do. I’m trying to enjoy my daily life and enjoy every moment. I don’t think about the future. Nothing is clear yet. I want to continue doing what I like.”
“When time comes, I have to find something that I like and can give me a new sense of satisfaction, and find a way to play a new role. I have achieved all my dreams. I was lucky and I actually have nothing more to ask for,” he said in reflecting on his career.
“Messi’s retirement comments are enough to make fans all over the world nervous. Messi is still enjoying his journey, and his fans are relieved,” Gol said.
