Lionel Messi: “On the field, we are all the same when the game begins.”

“World’s greatest football player” Lionel Messi gave an interview to PAPER magazine. He talked about being the best football player and also about his team's chances in the upcoming World Cup. He denied the fact that he is the best player in the world. “I don’t consider myself the best, I think I am just another player. On the field, we are all the same when the game begins.” About World Cup, he said: “It will be important to prepare well, because in the qualifiers we were fighting up to the end and we didn’t have time to prepare ourselves. We still have to make ourselves stronger as a team to be in the running to win and be at the same level as other teams like France, Germany, Brazil or Spain. But we have a good group of players and the Argentine team is always going to be a candidate to win, it doesn’t matter how we get there. We always aim to win and we will try to go slowly but strongly to advance in the competition.” Football world knows how important the World Cup trophy is for Messi and everybody is waiting for him to win it this summer.
