The World Cup final is not a match played only by Messi; french captain
There are only a few hours left until the whistle blows for the final match of the World Cup in Qatar.
Sunday evening at 20:30 IST, Argentina will take on the reigning world champions, France.
The reigning soccer champions, who won’t win a title for the next four years, will be the winning side on Sunday in Qatar.
But French captain Hugo Lloris resisted putting too much emphasis on Messi in the World Cup final.
Captain Hugo Lloris, who is also France’s goalkeeper, spoke at the pre-match press conference.
When the media kept asking about Messi “It is very important to pay attention to every player in this tournament. The top two nations will meet in the final.
Against a player like Messi you have to be more careful. But Messi isn’t the only one playing in the final,’ said Hugo Lloris.
“Tomorrow’s match must be played with mutual respect. We are still studying the opponents and preparing for tomorrow’s match. “There shouldn’t be any turning point in tomorrow’s match that we don’t foresee,” he added.
Hugo Lloris said camel flu virus infection in the French soccer team is not a cause for concern. At the same time, French coach Didier Deschamps has also said earlier that he will not ignore the call of many for Messi to win the title.
If they beat Argentina in tomorrow’s final, France could become the team to retain the world title after Italy and Brazil. At the same time, Argentina has a chance to become champion again after winning the title under the leadership of Maradona in 1986.
And the Qatar World Cup could be Messi’s last chance to pursue his dream of a world title. Argentina and France can kiss their third World Cup crown if they win the final.
In 2006 France lost to Italy in the final. Argentina also lost to Germany in the final in 2014.
