Firat heaps praise on Timothy Ouma & Rooney Onyango following impressive Ivory Coast displays
Firat has heaped praise on Gor Mahia's Rooney Onyango and Elfsborg's Timothy Ouma following their performances against Ivory Coast.
Off the pitch, Messi's transition to life in the U.S. has been smooth, aided by Argentina's triumph in the 2022 World Cup.
"It was a difficult step to leave Europe to come here," Messi admitted.
However, winning the World Cup has helped him view his decision through a different lens.
"I love playing football. I enjoy the training, every day of the matches. [I am] a little afraid that everything will end. That's why I enjoy everything much more, because I'm aware that there's less and less to go and I have a good time at the club. I enjoy the little details that I know I'm going to miss when I don't play anymore."
While Messi continues to inspire millions around the globe, he remains grounded and acknowledges the inevitable reality of retirement.
Yet, with 18 months left on his contract and an option for an additional year, the decision on whether to continue at Miami beyond 2025 remains open.
