Information reaching our news desk from our esteemed credible source avers that the world's best footballer, Lionel Messi has taken a welcome back into football.
The talented footballer has returned to the Argentine National team after meeting minds with the team's new coach, Edgardo Bauza.
You would recall that Lionel Messi, 29, did quit football after Argentina's Copa America final defeat by Chile in June in which he lamented in tears and told media reporters after the match that he had decided to retire.
Do you blame him? For a man who has never known failure and defeat, a first time experience would be heart breaking!
According to our source, the Barcelona striker told the media that he is making a U-turn back into the field of play, just for the "love of the country" and "to help from within".
Quoting Messi:
"A lot of things went through my mind on the night of the final and I gave serious thought to quitting, but my love for my country and this shirt is too great,"
He further asserts that:
"We need to fix many things in Argentinian football, but I prefer to do this from inside and not criticise from outside."
Corroborating the story, LIB alleges that 'Messi on Friday was named in Argentina's squad for the next set of International friendlies alongside Manchester City trio Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta and Nicolas Otamendi and Manchester United pair Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo'
To borrow from the words of the American writer, John Masson,
"Failure is not falling down, it is staying down".
We commend his (Messi's) courageous bold step and wish him a happy and more fulfilling years in his football career.
