About a month before he reached the age of 33,
Argentine star Lionel Messi suggested that he might
remain on the field even for other years, indicating that
he has a good fit.
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper “Mundo
Depotvo”, the Spanish legend said: “We will see,
we will see,” when asked whether he was able to
continue playing until the age of forty.
Messi will complete his thirty-third year on June 24,
and many hope that the Spanish League has been
resumed on this date, weeks after it stopped due to
the spread of the new Coronavirus.
Messi said in the interview: “It is true that I no longer
score more goals as before, but I feel that I am in
the best condition, and my fitness is excellent.”
And regarding the suspension of the Spanish league and
the possibility of its resumption soon, Al-Barghout
replied: “The league this season was not regular, and we
lost a lot of points, and we can lose points on our land as
happened with Real Madrid when it lost from Celta
Vigo at home, and we still have matches Difficult rounds
remain, and facts have proven that the league is no
longer settled in the El Clasico games.
The Catalan team leads the Spanish league with 58
points compared to 56 for Real Madrid, noting that
the championship stopped after 27 stages.
And on the Champions League, in which Messi is
looking for a new title, he said: “If we want to win the
title, we have to develop ourselves, and we have a lot of
work to do.”
And the Argentine magician said that he “does not have
an explanation of what happened to them in the last two
copies against Rome, Italy, and Liverpool,” after
Barcelona was ahead of a large result, before going
through a setback, whether in the Italian capital or at
the canned “Anfield”.
Messi added: “It was enough for us to score one goal
to overcome the obstacle of Liverpool, but we did not.”
And if he was surprised by the victory of Atletico Madrid
in Liverpool, and the elimination of the champion from
the Champions League, Messi explained: “It did not
surprise me, because Atletico is strong and competitive
team.”
Messi also talked about the candidates to win the
European title in the event of the resumption of the
competition, saying: “All participating teams are very
strong and the competition between them is very intense.
The current time is Italian Juventus, Real Madrid,
and Liverpool. “
