Why did Lionel Messi return to Argentina national team so quickly?
Lionel Messi was the talk of the summer because of what happened with the Argentina national team in the Copa América Centenario in the United States. After carrying the nation on his back all the way to a final only to lose it for the third straight year, Messi had enough, and he called it a career with the Albiceleste.
The world was shocked by Leo's decision, and the people from Argentina immediately started a campaign to try and convince the Barcelona superstar to come out of his retirement and continue playing for his nation. He remained firm for about two months, and his decision caused a lot of changes in the national team, which included manager Tata Martino being fired.
