🚨 Lionel Scaloni: "How did Messi communicate his presence in the World Cup? I simply sent him a message. He told me that he would wait for the squad announcement and that he would be among the called-up players, that was all. So I told him: ‘Alright, you’re in the squad,’ and that was the end of it.
"We all expected that he might make some kind of announcement and I was probably the first to think he would. But in the end, he did what any player would do, he waited for the coach’s call-up.
"Honestly, it gave me a lot of peace of mind when he told me he wasn’t going to make any announcement and that he would simply wait for the list of selected players. And that’s exactly what happened.
"I only contact him when I feel the timing is right. At that moment, some time ago, when the squad list was practically decided on our end, we told him and that was his response.”
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Kylian Mbappé: “Messi or Ronaldo? I've played with both! Well, I played with Messi and I played against Ronaldo. Cristiano is my idol, but I also played with Leo. And having played against both, the truth is they are really different. They aren't the same.
"The rivalry between them was good because everything completely opposes them. You know: [Ronaldo] right-footed/[Messi] left-footed, [Ronaldo] tall/[Messi]short, [Messi] more elegant/[Ronaldo] more raw, [Ronaldo] more explosive/[Messi] with more vision/playmaking.
"If I agree with the saying: 'One is hard work, the other is pure talent?' That is a take from someone who doesn't play football. In all my debates, I say this. No, that’s a take from a guy who doesn't play football! Because if you can sit there and tell me that Ronaldo has no talent, or that Messi doesn't work hard, it means you've never in your life put on boots to go train every single day. I just can't understand how someone who has put on boots to train every day could think that way.”
