Bad news for football fans. Argentine footballer Lionel Messi has said that he will not be a part of the Argentine team in the Paris Olympics. In fact, it is believed that due to age and busy schedule, it is difficult for Lionel Messi to play in the Paris Olympics. Apart from this, Argentina won the title in the last Copa America Games. This time Argentina will enter the Copa as the defending champion, but the absence of Lionel Messi is considered a big setback for Argentina. The Copa America tournament is scheduled to be held in the US from 20 June to 14 July.
I'm not old enough to be a part of everything
Lionel Messi said that I spoke to Argentina's Under-23 coach Mascherano, after which we both understood the situation. It is difficult to think about the Olympics right now because we are in the Copa America, it will be like being away from the club for two or three months in a row and the biggest thing is that I am not old enough to do this now. It was a very difficult decision, but at this stage of my career it is important that I take care of my physical and mental health. After the Copa America, I also have to play for my club Inter Miami and it is not easy to stay away from the game for so long.
Will 2025 be the last year of Lionel Messi's career?
Lionel Messi further says that he will end his career by staying at his current club Inter Miami. Actually, Lionel Messi has a contract with Miami till 2025. He said that since Inter Miami is a part of Major League Soccer, he has not yet given any information about whether he will extend his contract or not. However, it is believed that 2025 could be the last year of his career.
