Messi SHOCKED everyone: "They are the great candidates to win the World Cup"
The Argentine gave his thoughts on the World Cup and this is the team he thinks could win it all
Exactly one month remains until the Qatar 2022 World Cup begins with the match between the Qatar National Team and the Ecuadorian National Team. The tournament will paralyze the world and one of the great candidates to win it will be the Argentine National Team, which will arrive undefeated in the last 35 games and with Lionel Messi in unbeatable condition, despite his last minor muscle injury.
Precisely, the Albiceleste's number 10 gave an interview to DirecTV Sports and there he confessed who he thinks will be the rivals to beat in the World Cup: "For us, the Argentines, it is difficult to be calm. We always want to be the best, the candidates, but it's not always like that. And a World Cup is very difficult. You have to give a lot of things to be champion. There are many teams that want the same as us and if we're not doing well, there are many that will be better".
Along the same lines, Messi remarked: "Today the candidates are the great national teams like Germany, Brazil, France, England and Spain. But if I have to chose two, Brazil and France are the great candidates for this World Cup".
"The French, beyond having been left out in the last European Championship, have impressive players like my PSG teammate Kylian Mbappé and a very clear idea of the game," continued Messi.
Lionel Messi admitted that he does not think about injuring himself when playing games with PSG so close to the World Cup: "Going out to play thinking about that can be counterproductive. And the best thing is to act normally, as always. Playing is the best way to be well. Hopefully they will recover. I think they have plenty of time to be able to recover and be well".
