It appears that it will be difficult for Argentina's 'football hero' Lionel Messi (36, Inter Miami) to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Copa America held before the Olympics You have to choose one or the other

Javier Mascherano, coach of the Argentina U-23 national soccer team, said through Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports on the 6th (Korean time), “I talked with Messi and decided to continue the conversation.”

At the same time, he added, “It is not easy for Messi to participate in the Olympics because the Copa America (South American Football Championship) is held before the Olympics.” 카지노사이트

Coach Mascherano said he would give Messi time to think, but it is expected that it will be difficult for him to be absent from his team for a long period of time, following the Copa America and the Paris Olympics.

The Copa America will be held in June and July this year, and the Paris Olympics will be held in July and August.

In the Olympics, there are no regulations to forcibly select players like in the A-match, so if there is opposition from their team, they cannot play. It is especially difficult for Messi, who is a wild card (player over 23 years old).

Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino also suggested that his South American players participate in only one competition.

Coach Mascherano also said, “Messi still shows top-level skills, but age has now become an important factor,” and said it would be impossible for Messi to play in both competitions.

Messi led Argentina to a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. 토토사이트 추천
