Messi retired from Argentina, Scaloni gathers him: a big party is ready for his farewell

Lamtumira zyrtare, e shoqëruar edhe me një letër të shkruar, ndodhi disa ditë më parë, pa ndonjë surprizë, sepse në moshën 39-vjeçare ishte pothuajse e pamundur të mendohej se Lionel Messi do të vazhdonte të luante me Argjentinën.

Messi retired from Argentina, Scaloni gathers him: a big party is ready for his

The moment of farewell has almost arrived. The official farewell, accompanied by a written letter, took place a few days ago, without any surprises, because at the age of 39 it was almost impossible to think that Lionel Messi would continue playing for Argentina. An undisputed champion, a great legend of world football must be greeted and honored with all the honors, and Argentina is reserving an extraordinary celebration for him. The big day, the one in which smiles and many tears will be mixed, will be October 6, when Benin will arrive at the Monumental in Buenos Aires.

7 Serie A players in Argentina squad

The change in the international calendar brings innovations for all national teams. The European ones will engage in the Nations League, while Italy will play four matches. For Argentina, there will be three friendlies. For these matches, coach Scaloni has gathered 28 players, seven of whom play in Serie A: Nico Paz (Como), Mastantuono (Fiorentina), Nico Gonzalez (Juventus), Lautaro Martinez (Inter), Balerdi, Soulè, Castro (Roma). Leo Messi is also on the list, who, however, will not be available for the first two friendlies, those with Bolivia (September 30) and Burkina Faso (October 3).

Messi will bid farewell to Argentina on October 6, in a friendly against Benin.

Then comes the big celebration at the Monumental, River Plate's stadium, on October 6, a Tuesday, for Argentina-Benin, which will not be a friendly like all the others. An extraordinary era will close, the one that has seen Leo Messi protagonist for 21 years with the national team, since his debut in the summer of 2005, with three World Cup finals played, one won, and six World Cups held (a record together with CR7 and Ochoa). 207 matches, which will become 208, with 125 goals; it is easy to think that another one could come, although it would be nice anyway if his last goal were a goal scored in the World Cup, where he was a magnificent protagonist this year too.

How Rama is leading the country towards civil strife

Insisting on violence, on arming civilians, on paying police officers as if they were mercenaries, alone does not produce peace. Edi Rama's fear of where he will end up when he is no longer prime minister does not have to become Albania's nightmare.

Andi Bushati: Why stones and Molotov cocktails became inevitable

This youth revolt has had a great merit. It made known to the general public the most criminal side of this regime that had until now been preserved in the most secretive recesses. If the extremely peaceful revolution of the flamingos showed us that this government was no longer popular, its radical epilogue, with stones and Molotov cocktails, is serving to bring to light that the autocrat is capable of using any means to stay in power.
