Lisandro Martínez: “Me pongo a pensar de lo que pase por mi lesión y me dan ganas de llorar. No sé ni dónde estoy parado. Si no hubiese nacido mi hija justo cuando me rompí no sé si hoy estuviese acá jugando y hoy hice un gol en un Mundial”.
“Siempre lo pongo de ejemplo a nuestro capitán que luchó por esta camiseta y cuando tuve la lesión fue quien tuve en la cabeza para no dejar de luchar”
Que hermoso esto que dijo Lisandro Martínez de Messi sobre su lesión, te amo Licha 🥹
Henry mentioned that Messi’s free kicks are always on target and I can’t unsee it.
He spoke about how he was terrible at free kicks when he got to Barcelona then he saw him practicing for hours everyday.
Messi is not just talent, he has worked hard to get to this level.
It shows in his longevity.
🌎🇨🇻 Lionel Messi on Cape Verde: “Some people might underestimate certain teams… but we knew this was NEVER going to be an easy match”.
“That’s what makes this World Cup so special. Everything is incredibly close, and every single game is extremely difficult”.
Messi:
"Honestly, we knew beforehand that the match would be extremely tough. And it's no coincidence that this national team hasn't lost to Spain or Uruguay.
We managed to achieve the hardest part by scoring the first goal, and we thought that would help us impose our playing style and play with greater calm, but exactly the opposite happened.
We lost possession in some periods, retreated a bit to the back, and failed to press them as required, and they exploited their weapon and scored. We knew the task would be complicated.
These are knockout matches, and no one gives you anything for free. Some might underestimate national teams because of their names, but we knew it wouldn't be an easy match at all.
And that's what makes this World Cup special; everything is so close, and all the matches are extremely difficult.
We put in a huge effort as usual, whether we played well or didn't deliver our best levels.
Now the most important thing is to rest, think about the next match, and try to draw the positive aspects from today's encounter."
