Messi, Antonela, Maradona and their meeting with the World Cup trophy
Lionel Messi’s first interview after winning the World Cup in Qatar with the Argentine team left dozens of titles. The 35-year-old striker was free in the dialogue with Andy Kusnetzoff and revealed several intimacies of the way in the World Cup and the subsequent celebrations. For example, the behind-the-scenes of the “it’s done” gesture that he made facing the box where his family was located at the Lusail stadium once the consecration was completed. “It meant that it was over after so much time, so much suffering, because there were times when I suffered a lot with the National Team. Many disappointments, always having been so close and never happening. I received criticism of all colors for a long time and I know that my family suffered the same as me or more. They always wanted to show me that they were whole, that they were strong. But I know that inside they were suffering a lot, not only because it didn’t happen, but because of the harsh things they said towards me, which went beyond football. That was what really bothered me and hurt me. It was like closing the circle. We won the Copa América, we won the World Cup, that’s it. There’s nothing left, it’s over,” he said.

Their children also vibrated in a special way throughout the adventure in Asia, their fifth World Cup. “Ciro is the one who understands the least, but the other two lived it as Argentine fans. Thiago was crazy, after the game in the Netherlands he cried. Mateo did accounts after the defeat with Arabia. And everyone learned to do Dibu Martínez’s little step, ”he explained in the note with Urbana Play. But it was with Antonela Roccuzzo, his wife and his backer, with whom he composed a kind of cabal that accompanied them until the final against France.
“We followed a little more or less what we did with the World Cup. We talked before going to sleep, without touching the game or anything special. We did the usual routine, every day before the games or the two, three days we repeated the same thing. I was very calm, I slept very well, throughout the World Cup I was very relaxed, I felt that we were fine, that I was fine, that we were doing everything to make it happen and I felt very calm. I was able to sleep well and I didn’t have the anxiety of wanting the game to come. Bah, yes, but I knew how to handle it very well”.

“I don’t know why there was a mess with the Cup. I raised the good one and later in the celebrations there was half a mess. We didn’t know if it was the real one or not, but he had already been the first with my colleagues at the awards ceremony. It’s heavy.”
The desire to share the title with Maradona that was cut short
Kun Agüero took aim at Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his criticism of Argentina after the World Cup: “You should worry about your country, they didn’t even qualify”
The former soccer player who accompanied his friends throughout the World Cup in Qatar came up against the Swede for his statements. “That’s where it hurts to recognize that Messi is the best player in the world,” said Kun
“If he had been there, he would have given it to me, but he wanted me to see the world champion team with what he wanted. The image would have been very nice too. I believe that from above, both he and many people who want the good for me were strong, not only for this, but for everything in general. Especially them in this World Cup, with the song that was a boom for the whole world and they were pushing from above”.
