Hours before facing a new semifinal in his career, this time with Inter Miami, Apple TV and MLS published an exclusive interview in which Lionel Messi spoke again about his retirement. The 36-year-old captain assured that he still does not think about leaving football and has not set deadlines, but he stressed that he will try to “take advantage” and “enjoy” the career “as long as he can.”
Messi spoke again about his retirement: “I don’t know how much more I’m going to play”
“I still don’t think about it, I’m honest. I like to play, I enjoy being with a ball, being on the pitch, competing and training,” Messi said on Apple TV.
“I don’t know how much more I’m going to play but I’ll try to take advantage of it as long as I can, until I’m fine and then I’ll see,” added the new figure of Inter Miami, in an interview that was broadcast in the run-up to the US Open Cup semifinal that will play tonight at Cincinnati FC.
“For later, there is time to think, analyze and choose. Today the most important thing is to enjoy what is left, be it a little or a lot but to the maximum”, insisted the captain of the Argentine national team.
When does Messi play with Inter Miami against Cincinnati?
At 36, Messi will play this Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. in the semifinal of the US Open Cup with Inter Miami against Cincinnati and you can see him live on TyC Sports. It will be the eighth game in his first month as an Inter Miami player and he has another three on the agenda before joining the Argentine team.
The team led by Gerardo Martino will play on August 26 against New York RB, as a visitor, in the resumption of the MLS, then they will host Nashville, at home, on August 30, and on September 3 they will play against Los Angeles FC, outside again.
Why Messi decided to play at Inter Miami
“It was a family decision, trying to look for the family good. We spent two difficult years, we hadn’t been well, it had cost us,” he began, alluding to the two seasons at PSG.
Then, he added: “It was to go back a little to what we were when we were in Barcelona, enjoy the day to day, the children, that the family is well, that I enjoy the sports day to day, which was not happening to me. For We decided that this was going to be the place for many reasons and today, after a while, we were not wrong”.
