In the past, the famous footballer Oscar Ruggeri came up with a plan on how to motivate his country's national team during the World Cup in Russia.
According to the 56-year-old legend, the leader of the Argentine national team Lionel Messi should already ask the leaders of "Barcelona" team to allow him to play less club football and prepare properly for the football festival that will take place before the summer.
"Do you think the Catalans will not win the Spanish championship if L.Messi plays less?"
The forward could tell the team president that the World Cup is very important.
Lionel should also call the national team coach and say that he will be fully focused on the upcoming world championships.
Before the 1986 championship, we had 65 days to prepare and focus together for the World Cup tournament.
What do you think, would the rest of the players follow in L. Messi's footsteps if he expressed such an attitude to the coach?" - Ruggeri said.
