Lionel Messi Back for Argentina
Ends retirement for the love of country
Lionel Messi has reconsidered his decision to quit international football and will
and continue playing for Argentina's national team Messi said on Friday that
he is returning despite a lot of problems involving the country's federation, which is mired in financial chaos and under Fifa intervention. "There are a lot of
issues that needs to be resolved in Argentine football, but I prefer to help from
within and not criticize from the outside." Messi said.
"I don't want to cause any harm, I've always tried to do the exact opposite and
help out in out in whatever way possible."
Messi said he was done with the national team after Argentina lost to Chile in
the Cupa America finale in June, when the Barcelona playmate missed a penal-
ty kick in the decisive shootout. "A lot of things through my mind on the night
of the final and i gave serious thought to quitting, but my love for my country
and this shirt is for great. "Messi said in a statement released by his managers.
Although 29-year old Messi has won virtually everything with Barcelona, he has
failed to lead the national team to victory in a major competition. His only trophy with Argentina came with the under-23 team at the 2008 Bejing Olym-
pics.
Argentina is the third South American qualifying group, behind Ecuador and
leader Uruguay after six matches. Messi thanked those who wanted him "to
continue playing for Argentina."
"I hope we'll be able to give them something to cheer about soon." he said.
