On December 1, ESPN's Star+ program launched the latest interview with Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi, and the superstar of world football once again attracted the attention of fans around the world. In the interview, Messi revealed his uncertain attitude about participating in the next World Cup, a news that has caused speculation and concern among fans around the world. Messi has been honest that he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish at the World Cup in Qatar, so he is now more focused on what is happening more recently, such as next year's Copa America. "As long as I feel like I'm in good shape and can continue to contribute to the team, then I'll keep playing," he said. The only thing I'm concerned about right now is being on the Copa America squad and playing. As we have always done, I will try to win the championship!But as for whether to participate in the 2026 World Cup, Messi's answer disappointed fans around the world. "Time will tell, after all, 39 (Messi's age at that time) is usually not the age to play in the World Cup," he said. I used to say I didn't think I would go there.

Despite this, Messi did not completely dismiss the possibility of playing in the next World Cup, admitting: "I am not currently thinking about the 2026 World Cup, but I am also not 100 percent saying that I will not participate. Because anything can happen. Considering my age, it's normal not to participate. Messi's statement has sparked speculation among fans around the world, with many people beginning to worry about whether Messi has entered the late stages of his career. But Messi said in the interview that he is now very content and thinks he has won everything. "I'm very fortunate to have achieved everything at club level at Barcelona, and the same goes for individual honours. The World Cup title used to be the only thing I was missing, but few players can say they achieved it all. Unlike Messi, Ronaldo is eager to play in the next World Cup. He has already expressed his desire to extend his contract until early 2027 to Riyadh Victory management, so that in addition to continuing to play for Riyadh Victory, he can maintain his form for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and then announce his retirement in 2027. Looking back at Messi's moment against the Netherlands, Messi made Riquelme's classic celebration to Van Gaal after scoring a goal.

The moment became a legend, and Messi was awarded the highest honor in world football. The celebration symbolized Messi's love for football and a display of his personal style, as well as his confidence and strength on the pitch. Messi's future remains uncertain, but whether he plays in the next World Cup or not, his status as a football legend is indisputable. His talent and achievements will always be remembered by the world, and his footsteps will be an indelible memory in the hearts of fans. We look forward to Messi continuing to show his extraordinary talent and leadership skills in future competitions and bring more surprises and accolades to the football world." Soccer superstar Lionel Messi once caused an uproar over an over-the-top response. In one match, he was disrespected by his opponents, which infuriated his nerves. On the field, Messi responded to his opponent in an unbearable way, which made the scene leave a lasting impression in football history. Messi is a myth in the football world, and his technical and physical qualities are beyond the reach of the dust. His presence has allowed people to redefine the standard of the game of football. However, he is also an ordinary person, and anger arises when he is hurt and provoked.

In this match, some words from his opponent Louis van Gaal and the Dutch team before the game caused him to feel strongly dissatisfied and angry. On the field, Messi's performance has been at a high level. His technique and speed were amazing, but in this match, there were some small mistakes in his performance. This is not only because his opponent is very strong, but also because he is already emotionally out of control. By the time he was provoked by his opponent, his emotions had reached a breaking point. He responded to his opponent in an aggressive way that he himself regretted greatly. Messi revealed, "It bothers me when people don't respect their opponents off the pitch, I never do that, and I don't like them doing this to me, I think he did it on purpose. ”。This scene is not uncommon in soccer matches, but what shocked people was that the scene happened to a soccer superstar made people rediscover the problem of emotional management in soccer. Messi's over-the-top response made people deeply aware that even the best footballers can affect the outcome of the game because of their emotions. It's not just a challenge for yourself, it's a challenge for the game of football.

Through his own experience, Messi has made people more deeply realize that emotional management is also very important in football games. Messi thinks that some of Van Gaal's pre-match words with the Dutch team are deliberately provocative, but for his "excessive response" at that time, Messi admitted that he regretted it. "I immediately regretted it. I thought to myself, 'What a bastard', but what can I do?This happens naturally. ”。The issue of emotional management in football has always been a matter of concern, and Messi's over-the-top response has once again made people realize it. Emotional management requires not only the efforts of the footballers themselves, but also the help and guidance of coaches and related personnel. Only on the basis of comprehensively promoting emotional management can football games develop more justly, fairly and healthily.
