JABAR EKSPRES – Recently, rumors have emerged that Lionel Messi will not participate in the Argentina national team visiting Indonesia for a friendly match on June 19.
One of those who revealed this was the Vermouth Deportivo news page which reported that the Argentine national team might come to Indonesia without Messi.
The reason is that Messi needs a long vacation before joining his new club in the United States, Inter Miami.
A reasonable reason, even though Inter Miami will only play again next July 2, against Austin FC.
The time span between June 19 and July 2, is actually quite long so setting aside two or three more days of goods, presumably will not take away Messi’s vacation time.
No one can confirm whether this news is true or not, including the Argentine football federation, which until now has not said anything about Messi to PSSI.

But certainly, by coming to Indonesia, Messi will get more benefits, rather than failing to come to Indonesia.
This benefit is certainly not a matter of money and popularity, which Messi may no longer need.
Although in the past only football entities with thick pockets could melt Messi’s heart, one of the best footballers of all time is not someone who considers money and popularity above all else.
The proof, he rejected the proposals of the Al Hilal club from the Saudi Arabian League and Barcelona from the Spanish League.
Even though the amount of money offered by Al Hilal is fantastic which could make Messi the most expensive footballer not only today, but also maybe of all time.
He also rejected Barcelona’s offer, even though this club has always been the dream of top footballers in the world, in addition to being a guarantee for glory and popularity.
