🚨💔🥹 Lionel Scaloni: "NOTHING will be the same without Leo Messi. I’ve never seen anyone else transmit the feeling that Leo does. That’s what we’re going to miss the most.
"We’ve always talked about how much we would miss him when he was no longer here, and now the time has come when he won’t be with us anymore.
"I imagine it will be VERY EMOTIONAL for everyone, without exception. From the moment Leo steps onto the pitch at the Monumental, he and the fans will experience a day that nobody will ever forget.
"I’m grateful to be part of that day because it will be his day, and also the day of the teammates who shared the greatest footballing joy with him. They deserve it too.
"As for me, I’ll simply be a spectator. I’ll sit there and take it all in, but I’m grateful that I’ll be able to experience this day.
"He’s still here with us. We have two training sessions with him, and we’ll continue seeing him and enjoying his presence during this little time we have left.”
"But the feeling of having him on the pitch is something UNIQUE. More than anything, I want people to understand what he transmits to everyone simply by being on a football pitch, to his teammates, to the opposition, to the opposing fans, to his own fans, to everyone.
"Like I’ve said, I’ve known great players, played alongside great players and faced great players, but I’ve never seen anyone else transmit that kind of feeling.”

People, I came across this appeal for Francis Kwofie (CF 1312), a brilliant Form 2 student of OPOKU WARE SCHOOL who has been diagnosed with kidney failure.
He currently undergoes dialysis twice a week at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital to stay alive. Doctors have recommended a KIDNEY TRANSPLANT IN INDIA as a long-term solution. The estimated cost is $40,000.
🙏 Please support/help save his life.

🥹🇦🇷 Cuti Romero, emotional, talking about Leo Messi:
"I always get emotional watching the video from when we beat England. Everyone was applauding him, and he was pointing to the team. He chose me to be captain, and that’s something beautiful.
"My way of showing love is pretty rough, but I told him I regret not showing him all the love I always had for him.”

🥹🇦🇷 Lisandro Martínez with very EMOTIONAL words for Leo Messi:
"Leo didn’t just unite the players in the national team. He united an entire country.
"That is the legacy he leaves behind.
"I wish it could have lasted forever. We have so much love for him, and that love will stay with us for the rest of our lives.”
"It’s incredible how one person can have such a huge impact and change everything.
"He is an example for everyone. He went through many difficult moments with the national team, but he never gave up. He always wanted to keep going and keep winning with Argentina.
"When I was going through my injury, I thought about my own life and asked myself: ‘How can I come back as the best version of myself?’
"Leo played a very important role for me during that time...."
