The age house has crossed 37. Lionel Messi is still playing for the club and the national team. But performance has declined. Which is almost being discussed. Many have said that this is the right time for retirement. But Messi’s former teammate Sergio Aguero wants Messi to play for life!
Aguero gave an interview to Stake.com a few days ago. When talking about Messi’s retirement, Aguero said, “He has the right to decide how long he (Messi) will play national team and professional football.”
Before the 2022 World Cup, Messi announced that he would retire from international football at the end of the tournament. Seber led Argentina to end a 36-year World Cup drought. However, after winning the World Cup, Messi changed his mind. He said that when it is time to stop, he will stop himself.
After seeing so much talk about Messi, Aguero said, ‘I want to see him play for life. But that is impossible. The decision (of retirement) will be taken by Leo and whatever he decides, it will be great for me. I will say this again and again if necessary.’
Aguero’s demand is not to be thrown away. Lionel Scaloni, Messi’s teammate and coach in the Argentina team, wants the same. Everyone wants him to play in the tournament to be held in the United States-Mexico-Canada. The 2026 football world cup will be jointly organized by these three countries.
Aguero announced his retirement from professional football three years ago. Aguero retired in December 2021 due to complications related to heart disease. He also had the good fortune to celebrate the 2021 Copa America victory with his friend Messi before his retirement.
