With Argentina winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which ended not too long ago, a poll has shown that ‘football hero’ Lionel Messi is likely to win Argentina’s next presidential election.
According to the French media Le Parisien on the 28th, in a simple poll of 2,500 people conducted by the Argentine polling agency “Giacove y Associados”, 43.7% of those interviewed said they would support Messi in the next presidential election. 37.8% of those interviewed said they would not have taken it and 17.5% of the floating class rejected the choice.
In a poll of politicians likely to run in next year’s presidential election, Messi also ranked first in approval ratings. Messi’s approval rating was 36.7%, more than three times that of runner-up, Javier Millay (12%). In third place is former president and current vice president Christina Kirchner (11%).
Indeed, Messi is often cited as a candidate for the next presidency in Argentine politics.
Former Argentine president Mauricio Macri recently said in an interview with Spanish media Marca: “Do we need to hold presidential elections next year? I highly recommend Messi as the next president,” he said, saying, “It is obvious that all people will elect Messi as president,” which has become a hot topic.
Le Parisien explained: “The Argentine polling agency has not formalized the poll”, adding: “It reminds us that Argentines are passionate about football and Messi.”
However, it seems unlikely that Messi will jump straight into politics. “I will not retire from the Argentina national team,” Messi said. I want to continue playing in Serie A as a champion,” he said, saying that at the moment he is not expected to retire from the national team.
Argentina have lifted the World Cup trophy for the first time in 36 years since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Despite him being 35 this year and about to retire, Messi played an important role in the Qatar World Cup with 7 goals and 3 assists.
He also broke the records for the most appearances (26 matches) and longest appearance (2314 minutes) in World Cup history. In addition to the most offensive points in the World Cup (13 goals and 8 assists), he also tied for first place in the most wins (17 wins).
Messi’s main career is △World Cup Champion △Twice World Cup Golden Ball (most ever) △Continental Cup Champion & MVP △UEFA Champions League Champion △European League Champion & MVP △Olympic Football Champion △Golden Ball 7 times (most ever) ) △FIFA Player of the Year Award 6 times (most ever) △UEFA Player of the Year Award.
