'I Want To See Messi Crying With World Cup Trophy In His Hands'
by Kurt BuckerfieldBasketball legend Michael Jordan is considered one of the greatest athletes ever, and after an image of him crying with the NBA trophy in his hands was seen in a recent documentary, one of Lionel Messi's teammates wants the same thing for the Argentine with the FIFA World Cup trophy.

Jordan's legacy was captured in a recently released documentary series called The Last Dance, which follows the basketball icon's famous Chicago Bulls team that dominated the sport for most of the 1990s.
An image of the former athlete holding the NBA trophy while lying on the floor in tears in the Bulls' dressing room sparked an emotive response for many viewers as it encapsulated the relief of triumph after years of agonising hard work.
Speaking in a recent interview, AC Milan and Argentina midfielder Lucas Biglia said he would love to see the FC Barcelona superstar experience similar success on the international stage.
"I finished The Last Dance the other day, it was excellent," he told Spanish radio broadcasters FM 94.7.
"It got me thinking, that in a few years, hopefully we will be able to watch something similar with our own phenomenon (Messi).

"We could learn a mountain of things about his day-to-day. Because you see him train, you see him play, but so many things happen on a day-to-day basis that you don't know about, as we see (with Jordan) in the series.
"The scene that I would like to see in the future is the one when Jordan is hugging the (NBA) trophy and crying.
"I would like to see that with Messi and the World Cup. That I would like to see. I know what it would mean for him and for the Argentine people."
Biglia also admitted that seeing his compatriot hurt so much after previous failures is difficult as he knows what it means to him.
"The good memories are saved, of course, but the bad ones will always remain, too," he added.
"Why does a person have to suffer so much? In the last World Cup, to see how the elimination hit him, that's when you ask yourself, 'Why?'
"That stayed with me. Not just on the pitch, but off it.

"It hurts me to see him suffer so much and makes me ask myself why he has to suffer in that way. I pray to God that we can see him at the next World Cup in two years' time."
