JAKARTA - Former agent Lionel Messi, Fabian Soldini said it took a long time for the Argentina captain to forget about Albiceleste's defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup final.
Speaking to Infobae, Soldini stated that he still has a good relationship with Paris Saint-Germain star La Pulga.
He then explained that it was not easy for the star to accept a heartbreaking defeat.
"When I was at his house, after 10 years of not seeing him, he told me 'Fabi, I wake up at night thinking about the final in Brazil for a year. I can't sleep. And I can say, it's spinning around his head," said Soldini quoted by Marca, Wednesday.
Soldini then explained why the defeat greatly affected Messi.
"This is his love. His love is a national team. It's not Barcelona or Newell... His love for Argentina. His great love is the National Team," he explained.
The professional relationship between the two ended in 2005 due to some differences over Messi's career, although they still maintain very good friendship.
