The Argentine Lionel Messi won the FIFA The Best award this Monday, which lists him as the best player in the world in 2022, but beyond the recognition he took the opportunity to express his joy at the contract renewal for the manager of the Argentine National Team, Lionel Scaloni.
In a meeting after his coronation, Messi spoke to the media with the media and took the opportunity to express his feelings for having Scaloni as his tutor in Argentina for several more years.
“That Scaloni continues is great for this group, who is young and who has a lot to learn in the national team and the best thing is that he do it with someone like him who knows all the players who are here and who are going to pass by heart”, pointed out the player.
In the same way, Messi indicated that his The Best award, along with Scaloni’s as best coach and Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez’s as best goalkeeper, and his fans, are logical due to Argentina’s victory in Qatar.
“It is the recognition for the selection, for the people; Seeing Tula sing the song up there was exciting, ”he said, referring to the veteran fan who received the award on behalf of the Albiceleste fans.
Lastly, Messi explained that all the awards were deserved because Argentina was the team that won the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
“That was a World Cup and Argentina has the recognition it deserves for being world champion,” said the soccer player, who has won this award twice and the Ballon d’Or seven times.
