Diego Godin advice to Messi in 2016
Diego Godin: “Have I ever sent a message to Messi? Yes, once yes. In 2016, after the Copa America. I remember that I was in the stadium with my father and we started talking without being able to believe that Messi was going to leave the National Team.
And my father says: 'why don't you send him a message?' I thought: 'he's not going to care what I tell him'. He tells me: 'you are the captain of the National Team. That a rival like you tells him, that can help'. And there I asked Luis (Suarez) for the number and I sent a message to Messi.
I told him that he should not retire. Because of my interests as a defender, I would’ve loved for him to not to play anymore (laughs), but in reality the one that was going to lose was football. I told him that we all wanted to see him play.”
