Argentina national team head coach Lionel Scaloni has not hidden his desire for Lionel Messi to continue his international career for as long as possible. The specialist emphasized that it is difficult to imagine the Argentina team without the number 10, and this situation reminds him of painful memories associated with the legendary Diego Maradona. This is reported by Goal.com .
The Inter Miami star has scored 116 goals in 198 matches, winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup and two Copa América titles with Argentina. Scaloni stressed that instead of thinking about Messi's future ahead of upcoming tournaments, it is important to enjoy the present moments. According to him, every movement of Messi on the pitch is a great joy for the fans.
Scaloni added that it is not hard to imagine Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi in the same team, as great players like them can easily adapt to any tactic. For the coach, the most important thing is that the legendary captain remains on the pitch and continues to help the team.
The Argentina national team is preparing for the next FIFA World Cup qualification stage. The team recently recorded successful results in friendly matches and is now preparing to face Honduras and Iceland.
