🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry after Argentina beat Switzerland to qualify for the next round at the World Cup
🗣️ “You can see Messi can’t move the way he always moves. I’m sad, he’s getting old. I don’t think he will play in the next Copa America. He will probably retire after the World Cup. The players are fighting for him, he has already earned their respect, he’s not fighting for their respect like the other guy(Cristiano Ronaldo)
Lionel Scaloni is not a great tactician, but the players respect him. I see them going to penalties against England. England are very bad at controlling the tempo of the game. The only players I love there are Kane, Jude and Reece. Anderson is good too, but I think Enzo will school him. It will be a tough match
I love what FIFA did. They saw the fans complaining about refs supporting Argentina every game. Then FIFA intentionally brought a referee from Cristiano’s country and Messi still won. They are clearly favored by God not FIFA”. 👏
🚨 Leandro Paredes on the criticism and hate directed at Lionel Messi and Argentina ahead of the World Cup semi-final against England:
🗣Reporter:
"How has Lionel Messi dealt with the criticism and hostility he's been receiving from sections of the media during this World Cup?"
🗣Leandro Paredes:
"It doesn't affect him at all. Leo has been through this his entire career, so he's learned to block out the noise. He doesn't waste a second reading headlines or listening to criticism because his only focus is the next match and helping Argentina win."
"If anything, the criticism motivates him even more. The more people doubt him, the more determined he becomes to prove them wrong on the pitch. That's the mentality that has made him the greatest."
"England are a fantastic team with world-class players, and we know it will be one of our toughest games. But when you have Messi leading you, you always believe anything is possible. We'll prepare the right way, stay humble, and do everything we can to defend our World Cup title."
🌟🇦🇷 Nico Paz: “I try to take it all in, although it’s difficult. What I’m experiencing is something everyone dreams of, being at a World Cup with the Argentina National Team.
"It’s incredible to be experiencing Leo’s last World Cup. He’s the greatest player in history and there will never be another one like him. It’s an honor for me to share the dressing room with him. It’s a dream come true.” @FIFAWorldCup
