Messi Changes mind about resignation

Indications are rife that the much publicized resignation of Argentine, Lionel Messi, may have been a statement made in the heat of the moment as he may have been set to do a u-turn on that decision. Speaking to a selected reporters in his hotel room, Messi told them of his regret for not picking up the Copa American Trophy, adding that he may have announced his retirement too early. He said his nation may need him more and that it may be difficult for him to turn them down at a time when his services are more crucially needed. According to Messi, “The fact is I don’t think I want to change my mind about retirement, but it is a hard decision, considering that my nation may need me some day and I may not be able to turn them down.” “It is painful because I was desperate to win something for my country, but at 29, I am afraid that time may not be on my side anymore. I really would have loved to win the Copa, but it wasn’t to be.” Some analysts have said that Lionel Messi, who is playing at the top of his game at the moment may have to take time off and rest in order to regain himself following the turbulent season he had in the just concluded La Liga and European football season with his Barcelona Club.
