Messi has no intention of stopping, the records he aims for in the World Cup


Lionel Messi continues to be in the spotlight at the World Cup, but not just for what he's doing on the pitch. The Argentina captain is also going through a delicate period on a personal level, as his father, Jorge Messi, is reportedly facing serious health problems.

In recent days, the situation became even more complicated after a fake news report that Jorge Messi had passed away circulated. The information spread quickly and generated numerous reactions, before being denied.

Despite personal difficulties and the noise created off the pitch, Lionel Messi has continued his preparations with the Argentine national team as normal. The forward continues to train with the group and be an active part of coach Lionel Scaloni's plans for the continuation of the tournament.

An important factor for Argentina remains the atmosphere within the team. The core of the current group has played together for many years and has built a strong relationship both on and off the field. These players won the World Cup in Qatar, two editions of the Copa America and the Finalisima trophy, creating a consolidated group with considerable international experience.

In this team, Messi continues to be the central figure. His experience, his role in the game and his influence on the group keep him at the center of the Argentina project. His teammates consider him the leader of the team and a point of reference in the common objectives of the national team.

Meanwhile, in terms of statistics, Messi is having a very positive tournament. After the first matches of the World Cup, he leads the scoring list with three goals, along with Canadian striker David. At the same time, the Argentine has reached the quota of 16 goals in World Cup history, equaling the record of Miroslav Klose.

This means that in the upcoming matches he has the opportunity to set a new all-time record in the history of the tournament. There is also the possibility that for the first time in his career he will win the title of the best scorer in a World Cup edition.

Argentina's attention is now focused on their next match against Austria. The reigning champions are looking to continue their positive run, while Messi is aiming to add to his personal stats and help the team towards winning the trophy.
