#4 Time to move on
Some things are just not meant to be. Despite being the greatest player of his generation, Alfredo di Stefano never got to play in a World Cup due to misfortunes and injuries.
And yet, di Stefano’s legacy as one of the greatest players of all time remains intact. It just goes to show that failure with the national team doesn’t define a player’s greatness as football is a team game and can’t be won by a single player’s antics.
Messi never had a squad with him at Argentina and he perhaps never will. So it is time to accept it and move on because playing for Argentina and living with the burden of continuous failure will only just add more to his ever-growing regret.
