“We want Messi to play in the next World Cup as well. Whether or not he wants to play for Argentina depends only on him.
But seeing Messi continue with the national team and being able to coach him is what makes me so happy.
Like me, the whole Argentine team would like it to be like this. Because I’ve never seen another player who gives everything to his teammates on the pitch. “Messi’s performance shows what a true captain is,” said Scaloni.
