The entire Argentina team will try their best for Lionel Messi to play in the 2026 World Cup. This was confirmed by Alexis Mac Allister, the World Cup winning midfielder for Argentina. He said that it would take Lionel Messi to have a 100% perfect plan for the 2026 World Cup.
Alexis Mac Allister said, “If Messi is not in the team, we cannot make any plans.” Everyone at the party will convince him not to retire. We don’t want him to leave the national team now.
We are waiting and will find the right time. We will definitely talk to everyone on the team. Alexis Mac Allister also believes that Messi will be a perfectly fit despite his age.
The 2026 World Cup will not be difficult for him. But before that, we want to see him during the 2024 Copa America. He believes that Lionel Messi will serve the Argentina team for a long time. He doesn’t think about retiring just yet.
The best argument for Messi’s playing in the 2026 World Cup is that the next World Cup is not four but three and a half years away. Because this year Qatar World Cup was held 6 months late. But the next World Cup will start at exactly the right time. It’s minus six months here.
Alexis Max Alastair believes Messi will be fully fit until the next World Cup. Earlier, Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni talked about the same issue. He also wants Messi to continue playing for the national team instead of retiring.
