Lionel Messi will keep Argentina's jersey after playing the World Cup in Qatar - such a rumor was quite strong in the football circles. It is heard that Messi had such a thought. However, nothing happened after winning the World Cup. Messi has said that he wants to play for Argentina for a few more days after becoming the world champion.
Messi did not confirm anything before the World Cup, but Angel Di Maria! He announced before the World Cup that he will not play for Argentina after the World Cup. However, after winning the World Cup, the winger changed his mind and said that he would continue to play for a few more days.
Both Messi's thinking and Di Maria's decision were changed by their teammates. Di Maria was adamant about the decision to hang up the jersey even two days before the final of the World Cup or after the final.

However, he finally changed his decision under the pressure of his teammates. Argentine midfielder Leonardo Pardes said this in an interview given to TYC Sports. Pardes claimed that they forced these two footballers to continue playing after the World Cup, 'It was difficult to continue playing even after the World Cup. But we were forcing them.'
Messi-Di Maria's start for Argentina is imminent. The responsibility of not being able to win the title for Argentina fell on the shoulders of Di Maria along with Messi. That's why everyone in the team wanted, at least Messi-Di Maria to play some more matches as world champions.
Pardes said, 'At least they have to play some matches for enjoyment. They did not suffer less to win the World Cup trophy. It would not be right to say goodbye at this moment. They deserve to be world champions and play in front of people.'
Pardes was full of praise for his teammates McAllister and Enzo Fernandez. Both played a major role in Messi winning the World Cup after 36 years.
Enzo also won the World Cup's best emerging footballer award. Pardes said about these two footballers, 'We know how much they are capable of. But they did not play many matches in Argentina jersey. However, they had a great World Cup. Their performance made me proud. Helped us win the World Cup.'
