Many years later,when people recall the 2018 Russia World Cup,they will remember many things. With the tragic ending of the defending champion Germany,Mexico has triumphantly and suddenly lost three goals in the face of Sweden. But people will never forget the back of a lonely person. That is Lionel Messi.
31-year-old Messi took off the green armband of his left arm and suddenly fell out. In the recent match,he and his team lost the game against France. The 19-year-old striker Mbappé relentlessly ripped apart the Argentine defense line and scored twice,which made a great contribution to the victory of France.
On this planet,anyone who knows a little about football knows the name Lionel Messi and his golden years from 2007 to 2017.
In 2007,20-year-old Messi tied Real Madrid three times with a hat-trick,and began his legendary career.
In the past ten years,Mr Football,the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Boot Award have been taken over by him.
He led Argentina and Barcelona to make a name for themselves in the world,and has a brilliant record in the Champions League,America’s Cup and World Cup.
Eleven years later,Messi stood on the Kazan Stadium. After four World Cups,he knew that this might be the last time he led Argentina to the World Cup.
Since 1986,Argentina has never won a championship again. As a captain,he has a great responsibility,even stating that he would withdraw from the national team if he did not win the championship this year.
This is a prophecy. Messi,who eventually failed to save the game,did not receive any interview after standing up on the lawn; leave behind only a legendary image for the world.
