Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has faith that Lionel Messi can make a big difference at the 2026 World Cup.
Messi has achieved all the glory in his football career. However, he has not retired. Therefore, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is waiting for the superstar born in 1987 to lead the Argentina team to conquer the 2026 World Cup.
The Argentina national team’s “goalkeeper” recently shared: “I still believe Messi can play well for a few more years. Of course, we have to wait and see what Messi wants. But I believe he has the ability to help Argentina conquer the World Cup again in 2026.”
When asked if he would one day play for the same club as Messi, Emiliano Martinez said: “If he goes to Aston Villa, Messi will have to endure cold weather and a lot of rain. He won’t accept that.”
Not only Messi, “veteran” Ronaldo also wants to reach the top of the world late in 2026. It will be interesting to see Messi and Ronaldo compete at the 2026 World Cup.
Messi is currently enjoying the final stages of his career with Inter Miami. President Beckham’s team is still playing but without the service of “El Pulga”. The reason is that the striker born in 1987 has not yet recovered from the serious injury he suffered at Copa America 2024 .
According to the latest information, coach Tata Martino said Messi has been on the training field. But he is still in a separate training state.
Inter Miami’s head coach recently shared: “Messi hasn’t trained with the team yet. He’s been training separately with the fitness coach. But I see Messi recovering very well.
Messi has confirmed that he will not play with the Argentina national team in September. He needs more training sessions and is expected to play in the match against Philadelphia Union (September 15)”.
