00:00Just like they started with the GOAT debate, let's continue.
00:03Messi's place in history is secure.
00:06There's no doubt about it.
00:07You need to be a fool to try to, you know, question it.
00:11But is it overblown?
00:14Overblown? No, no, no, no, no.
00:16I think when you have a player like Messi, who's 39,
00:21top five in the Ballon d'Or race, top goal scorer for the World Cup,
00:27which, honestly, Mbappé getting that last goal in the third-place match, it's whatever.
00:31But, you know, this is a player that's 39, still up there in the scoring, in the assists.
00:37I mean, he's one of these players that's still in the title race for the MVP award in MLS.
00:42It's not a debate.
00:43I mean, this is a guy that's, you know, he settled the GOAT debate when he won his World Cup.
00:51And who's Ronaldo?
00:52Let me get on con you right now.
00:53Now, Messi debuted in 2004, right?
00:582005, the success was immediate golden boy.
01:01He debuted with Barcelona.
01:02He debuted in the national team.
01:04But let's remember, he played against Hungary.
01:07And he got sent out in three minutes with a red card for a perceived elbow to the nose to
01:12a defender.
01:13So that set up the checker.
01:15First face of Messi with the Argentinian team.
01:18As he was just exploding in the 2010s with Barcelona, he was failing terribly with the Argentinian team.
01:26Let's go back to that moment where Argentinians were like, we don't want Messi, pecho frío, Espanol.
01:32They called him every single name in the book.
01:36But now?
01:37But now he's the GOAT.
01:39Tell me about that.
01:40I mean, I think it was a thing of, you have this player that's so good.
01:44He's doing so well on Barcelona.
01:48And he couldn't do the same for Argentina.
01:51So a lot of the Argentinians were obviously very hateful towards him.
01:54I mean, me being Argentino-Chileno in the 2015-2016 era, I was going for Chile.
02:00Copa America.
02:01And honestly, I was a little happy to see Messi, you know, sad and everything.
02:06Because it was like this god.
02:08So there's a little bit of funk on you.
02:10No, yeah, there definitely is.
02:11I'm not going to deny it.
02:13But the thing is, you know, that golden era of Chile was just something.
02:17They could have definitely won the World Cup in the 2014 era.
02:21It was a moment that Messi was failing at the national team.
02:24Now, something changes in 2017, 2018.
02:28Oh, we have our CEO.
02:30And he made a face.
02:31The Argentinian.
02:32The biggest affair of Argentina.
02:33A special appearance, Vlad, here, our CEO, decided to pop up.
02:37And now what happens?
02:38He's going to be on the show.
02:39There you go.
02:40And there's palaces in the house, my friends.
02:41We're talking about Argentina post-Messi.
02:44He heard Messi.
02:45He heard Messi.
02:46He was like, what?
02:46Okay.
02:47Let me check.
02:48Let me, let me.
02:50Can you see this comment right now?
02:52Crespo, talk to me.
02:53All right.
02:53Well, the reality is.
02:54Something shifts.
02:55Yeah.
02:56And he starts winning with the national team.
02:59And then so everybody loves him again.
03:00And brings in probably the golden era of the Argentinian team.
03:04Winning two Copas America.
03:06Winning the World Cup in between the two of them.
03:08And taking Argentina.
03:11Always, almost right there to his 32 World Cups in a row.
03:16But now, the end has come.
03:18What happens to Argentina now that Messi's not there?
03:20I know that there's a lot of players.
03:22I was talking to Humberto before the show.
03:23He's like, okay, what happens to Argentina?
03:25I feel like they're going to have a Messi hangover for a couple of years.
03:29But the reality is that there's at least five players with 75% of the skills that Messi
03:34waiting on the sidelines.
03:36And 75% of Messi, I'll take that any day of the week.
03:38I mean, the thing is, this is a team that's full of stars.
03:42You have Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez.
03:43You have Enzo Fernandez, who are all in the top teams.
03:46Ezequiel Paz.
03:48Ezequiel, or Nicolás Paz.
03:50Nicolás Paz.
03:50Nicolás Paz, Ezequiel Palacios.
03:52I mean, this is a golden era of Argentina.
03:55Yeah.
03:55But will they live up to the standard?
03:57I don't think so, for at least a while.
03:59For a while.
03:59I think that the expectations are also going to be so heavy on whoever inherits that number 10 shirt.
04:06And apparently it's going to be Nico Paz, who is doing really good in the Champions League right now.
04:11Two games, I don't know.
04:12He's got three games, five goal contributions.
04:15But is he going to be the next Messi?
04:17No, I don't think so.
04:18I don't think we should be looking for the next Messi, right?
04:21We're not going to see the next Messi for, I don't even, I think like a decade.
04:24But some people will argue against that and say Laminé-Yamal has everything.
04:27The formula is there for him to achieve as much as Messi.
04:31In some regards, he's already ahead the curve compared to Messi.
04:35He has started his career with less checkered record than Messi, but he needs to stay at that level for
04:4120 years.
04:42And I really think that that's the difference.
04:43And I think that Laminé-Yamal could have won the Ballon d'Or this year if he had a better
04:49run in the World Cup,
04:50because that's the only thing that he was missing.
04:52He was a little discreet, his performance.
04:53I think he got nervous because this is a 19-year-old kid in the World Cup.
04:57You're starting and you're the main guy for your team.
05:00He doesn't have that mentality yet, as he does for Barca, because it's different.
05:05But I think the only player that has any potential to be the next Messi right now is Laminé-Yamal.
05:11Yeah, he's the only one.
05:12But it's that consistency.
05:13Laminé-Yamal is Laminé-Yamal is Laminé-Yamal is Laminé-Yamal is Laminé-Yamal is Laminé-Yamal.
