Messi: We will try to stop Yamal... but the task is difficult
Lionel Messi, captain of Argentina, confirmed that his national team will try to limit the danger of Lamine Yamal in the World Cup final, pointing out that Spain's star has an exceptional future, but he hopes he does not achieve the historic achievement in the upcoming match.
According to Spanish newspaper "Marca", the captains and coaches of Spain and Argentina gathered for the official photo of the pre-final press conference, in an atmosphere inspired by American style.
Luis de la Fuente and Rodri entered the hall to the tune of "Despechá" by Rosalía, while Lionel Messi, Emiliano Martínez, and Lionel Scaloni appeared to the tune of "Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.
The session was moderated by Rio Ferdinand, Novak Djokovic, Kevin Durant, and Tom Brady, before the event's protagonists spoke.
Scaloni said: "The best thing we Argentines have is that we grew up in very difficult places playing football. We only thought about football, and we must give our all when it's time to play, and do what we used to do when we were kids playing ball."
Messi added: "When we play, we don't think about pressure, we think about competing in the best possible way."
On Lamine Yamal, Messi said: "Lamine is a player capable of achieving a lot. He has a great career ahead and an opportunity to achieve something historic, but I hope it doesn't happen this time."
He concluded: "Life is crazy, after that photo that brought us together earlier, now we are competing together for the World Cup, and it's amazing. I wish him all the best with Barcelona as well. We will try to prevent him from giving his best on Sunday, even though it will be difficult."
