In an exclusive interview with Goal, the 53-year-old talks about the attacker's humility, his dedication to his country, and what we can expect from both the player and his national team in the years to come.
"We need to understand how difficult it is to be Lionel Messi," Martino told Goal.
"Despite being the greatest, Messi is an ordinary guy. He speaks like a normal guy, he acts like a normal guy. As a normal person, he has family, day-to-day problems in his life, friends and family, the usual.
