🚨📲 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Rodrigo de Paul RESPONDS to the Argentina haters on IG!
“The greatest pain is that we couldn’t bring the World Cup back to our country once again, because if anyone deserved to experience that feeling again, it was all of you.
But as the hours pass, we’re beginning to realize that the connection you have with this team goes far beyond the trophy, and that’s something I want to hold on to as I get through this moment.
Today I see how many people were waiting for us to fall, spending the entire World Cup spreading baseless conspiracy theories just to ease the pain of not being able to experience what all Argentinians were living. Because our smiles bother them, because the way we are bothers them.
But all that did was reaffirm that the passion and love we have for our shirt can overcome anything.
This will hurt for a long time, but today, more than ever, I am proud to be ARGENTINIAN. 🇦🇷”
✉️🇦🇷 Leo Messi’s letter.
“The pain is immense, it will take time for this wound to heal.
But I also choose to hold on to all the good things, all matches we turned around by giving everything and moments that will remain in our memories forever.
I will always remember the support of an entire country that, together with the work and effort of this group, brought us back once again among the best teams in the world.
Today, it is difficult to appreciate what we achieved… but this group has really reached two consecutive World Cup finals.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message.
Once again, we managed to come together as a country and stand united, sharing the immense pride of being Argentine.
I also want to congratulate Spain on winning World Cup”. 🇪🇸
One of the biggest advantages of having a mentor or learning from someone who has already achieved what you're aiming for is that your learning journey becomes shorter, clearer, and more intentional.
🚨Lisandro Martínez on Lionel Messi’s influence during Argentina’s comeback:
🗣️ “The moment we went two goals behind, nobody panicked.
Nobody shouted.
We just looked at Leo.
He didn’t say much.
He simply started asking for the ball every single time.
That’s when we all understood the game wasn’t finished.
A few minutes later he created one goal.
Then he scored another.
Nobody had to stand in the dressing room and talk about belief.
When Messi decides the match isn’t over…
The rest of us stop thinking about the score and start thinking about winning.”
