i dont remember who (i think he was from portugal nt back in the day?) but there was someone who kept playing until they turned 50 and were still in good shape despite being "old" (in football terms). i get there's some health issues they should be careful with, but i dont really get people saying messi has to retire before he reaches like 37. i think unless messi himself has stated he wants to retire after this wc, i dont see why he shouldnt keep playing
but thats just me 👁️👁️
#i think ppl are just scared if he keeps playing any longer than his age allows he'll 'taint' his legacy u know?#those who're worried want messi to be remembered for lifting the wc trophy and not. like. playing again in 2026 and bottling or anything#of the sort. and i do understand the fear. it's basically what ronaldo is doing rn. burying his head in the sand and living in denial#plugging his ears with his fingers and doing his best to ignore the fact that he isn't the player that he once used to be#(i mean he hasn't been for a long time but that's a topic for another day lmao)#at the end of the day messi is wiser than that. i think whatever time he chooses to r word for good he'll do so with grace and dignity#however i do understand your anxious appeal for him not to hang up his boots anytime soon#we all want to see the little magician keep on performing :")#anyways. scalonicore#djsksj#asks
