L. Messi changed his mind: the forward returns to the national team

Argentinian national team fans received great news - Lionel Messi today confirmed that he is returning to his country's national team.

"Barcelona" star announced his retirement after losing in the "Copa America" final against the Chilean national team. However, after a conversation with the new coach Edgardo Bauza, he decided to change his decision and return to the national team.

"I see many problems in Argentinian football and I don't want to create another one. I don't want to harm, on the contrary, I always try to help wherever I can. We need to fix a lot of things in Argentinian football, but I will do it better from the inside than criticizing it from the outside," - said the striker in his statement.

Messi also stated in his statement that his love for his country was the main reason that brought him back to the national team and confirmed that he will participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

"Since the day of the final, many thoughts have been going through my mind and I seriously considered retirement, but my love for this country and these colors was too strong. I thank the people who want me to play for Argentina. I hope to bring them joy soon,"
