And your country? Legend of Germany wants Lionel Messi to take the World Cup home

It crosses borders. The Qatar 2022 World Cup is less and less and there is a lot of expectation about what Lionel Messi can do with the Argentine team. Beyond the shirt, the world champion in Italy 1990 Jurgen Klinsmann surprised with his statements around the ’10′.

“I think that everyone in football has a wish and that is that Messi, with his incredible talent, with everything he has done in his career, with how tremendously well he represents football, win the World Cup like Diego did. Messi deserves it more than anyone. Messi should take the World Cup from Qatar to his house”, He stated in dialogue with La Nación.

As is known, the team led by Lionel Scaloni has an impressive record of 35 consecutive games without defeat and is the current champion of America. For the Teutonic former goalscorer, these aspects make Albiceleste the favorite in the World Cup.

“Argentina waited a long time to win the Copa América and they finally did it. Now is his time for Qatar and I think the world knows it. For me, watching all the qualifying matches in South America and also in Europe, I have two favorite teams above the rest and they are South American: Argentina and Brazil. They both look very strong. There are European countries that also look strong, like Spain, France, Germany and England that can go far, but I still think it’s time for Messi”, he remarked.

On the other hand, the former soccer player expressed his concern regarding the unusual date that was chosen to play the contest. “In the middle of the season of the leagues that must be interrupted. And how will those players, winners and losers, return to their clubs to complete the season? I imagine the World Cup to be difficult and very competitive”, he pointed out.
