Four years ago, the Argentinian national team with Lionel Messi at the helm lost in the World Cup final to the German national team.
Despite the fact that Argentina is heading to the championship in Russia as the vice champion, one of the best footballers on the planet, L. Messi, says that they are not contenders for this year's trophy.
"We are all going to Russia for the same reason. The World Cup title is our dream, the dream of the whole country. We are not candidates for the title, but we are very good, we train and improve every day.
We have good footballers and we are getting stronger so that we can compete with everyone on equal terms.
There's not much logic in the World Cup. We must prepare to win the first match, which is the most important thing. That would give us peace of mind.
Do not doubt that we will try our best. We are going there with a good team, which is only getting better as a team," L. Messi said.
Argentina will play in Group D in the World Cup, where they will face Croatia, Iceland, and Nigeria.
