After Argentina won the World Cup, Lionel Messi said he wouldn't retire from international football.

Messi thinks he has a lot to offer his country.

He said that he loves football.

I would like to experience a few more games as a world champion while I am in the national team.

He said that he wanted to cap his career with this.

Messi scored two goals in the final and converted a penalty in the shoot out.

He scored seven goals to win the Golden Ball.

The next World Cup will be Messi's last, as he will be 39 years old.

Lionel Scaloni wants Messi in his squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

He said that they needed to save him a spot for the next World Cup.

He will be with us if he wants to play. I think he has the right to decide if he wants to play for Argentina or not.

It's a pleasure to work with him and his teammates.

I have never seen anything like it before. A person who gives a lot to his teammates.
