As Messi pursues a second consecutive world title in what is his sixth World Cup appearance, he noted the special atmosphere surrounding the camp. The bond between the players and the traveling Albiceleste support remains a driving force as they look to navigate the long road toward the final.
“When this group gets together, they enjoy being together, the day-to-day, seeing the people like this, giving them this type of joy,” the captain said. “Thank God we have already been able to give them several and we will try to continue in this dynamic, this harmony with the people. As I just said, it’s step by step. It’s long, it’s difficult, and we prepare as we prepare for every game. I live it specially as I always lived it, I enjoy playing and having a good time on the pitch.”
