Messi Is The Driving And Uniting Force For Argentina: Shaji Prabhakaran
Speaking exclusively to IANS on Messi's legacy, Argentina's evolution and the criticism surrounding the South American giants during the tournament, Prabhakaran said the captain remains central to the team's success both on and off the pitch. While acknowledging Argentina's rich footballing history, Prabhakaran insisted that Messi's current World Cup campaign has further elevated his stature.
"With Messi, Argentina now only gets bigger in terms of what it is because, definitely, Argentina has a bigger football legacy, and they have won three World Cups, and only one with Messi; that was the last one, and (Diego) Maradona was one of the biggest legacies for them previously. Now, with Messi playing in his third final and a chance to win a second consecutive World Cup for Argentina, that legacy will be unmatched in many ways,” Prabhakaran told IANS.
