Do Dahai Guzar Gaye, Messi Ki Umeed — 2026 World Cup Mein Argentina Ki Qiyadat Ka IradaKehte Hain: Agle Saal Apni Fitness Ka Jaiza Lene Ke Baad Faisla Karunga

Buenos Aires (AFP) — Football ke legend Lionel Messi, jo ab bhi apni mulki team Argentina ke saath aur zyada kamiyabi ke talash mein hain, ne kaha hai ke wo 2026 World Cup mein khelne ki umeed rakhte hain — lekin unka kirdar unki umar aur jismi halat par munhasir hoga.

Messi ne haal hi mein Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami ke saath apna contract 2028 tak barha liya hai, jisse ye wazeh hota hai ke wo abhi retiar hone ka soch bhi nahi rahe, halanke wo aglay June mein 39 saal ke ho jayenge.

NBC News ko diye gaye ek interview mein 8 dafa Ballon d’Or jeetne wale star ne kaha:

“World Cup ka hissa banna ek azeem baat hai, aur main zaroor chahunga ke main wahan hoon. Main chahunga ke main fit rahoon aur team ke liye aham kirdar ada kar sakoon. Lekin main aglay saal pre-season shuru hone par Inter ke saath apni halat dekh kar faisla karunga ke main 100% tayyar hoon ya nahi.”

Unho ne mazeed kaha:

“Main bohot purjosh hoon, kyunke World Cup hamesha ek khwab hota hai. Hum pichla World Cup jeet chuke hain, aur use field par dobara defend karna lajawab tajurba hoga.”

Messi ka professional safar 20 saal se zyada par mushtamil hai — unho ne 2004 mein Barcelona se debut kiya, phir Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ke liye khela, aur 2023 mein Inter Miami join kiya. America mein unki aamad ne football ko ek nayi rooh di hai, khaas tor par jab North America agla World Cup host karne ja raha hai.

Apni shandar career ke bawajood, Messi ko international level par kamiyabi der se mili. Unho ne 2021 Copa America jeeti, aur phir 2022 World Cup mein France ko penalties (4-2) se harakar apna sabse bara khwab pura kiya.

Messi ne kaha:

“World Cup jeetna meri zindagi ka sabse bara khwab tha. Ye woh cheez thi jo meri career se kami thi. Maine club aur individual dono satah par sab kuch jeet liya tha, lekin har khiladi ka khwab hota hai ke wo world champion bane.”

Messi ab tak Argentina ke liye 195 matches khel chuke hain aur 114 goals ka record banaya hai. Agar wo 2026 World Cup mein shamil hote hain, to ye unka chhata World Cup appearance hoga — football ki duniya mein ek naye record ke saath.
