🥺❤️‍🩹 “I considered 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 from football after I suffered that ACL injury last year”, says Lisandro Martínez 😔

“I just 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞! Because I had already gone through other foot injuries… when I fractured my fifth metatarsal also, but this one was honestly 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞”.

“I was really hit low.. but then my daughter was born, and that kind of balanced everything out for me. I saw how my wife gave birth and the immense effort she made to have out daughter”.

“I said to myself: 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?”.

“But when I think about everything I went through because of my injury… it makes me want to cry. 𝐌𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥, the perspective became totally different” 🤍

“I always use Messi, our captain as an example. He fought for this shirt and when I got injured, he was the person I kept thinking about so I wouldn’t stop fighting”.

“Today Leo is here at 39 years old, fighting, battling, he’s won everything and also he has absolutely nothing left to prove”.

“He is the best player in history, not just in football, but in all of sports. It’s madness. And for those of us coming up behind him, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧?“.

“We have to follow behind him in the exact same way”. 👏🏼

Mirtha Legrand expressed confidence in the Argentina national team's chances at the World Cup, stating, "I've heard a lot of criticism, but it's unfair. The truth is, they won, and the other team played very well too. I suffered a lot watching the match. I think Messi is playing very well in this World Cup—he's the best player on the pitch and is attentive to everything. We're going to reach the final, I'm sure of it."
