According to Argentine media outlet Olé, after Atlanta United and Inter Miami drew 2-2, manager Gerardo Martino discussed meeting with Lionel Messi before the match and Messi's decision to retire from the Argentina national team. Martino stated that Messi has given much to Argentina and world football over the years, and now it is time for him to stop external pressures and enjoy football and family life peacefully.

Before the match, Martino and Messi reunited and greeted each other warmly. Martino has coached Messi at Barcelona, the Argentina national team, and Inter Miami.

When asked why he wanted to meet Messi specially, Martino said: "He has experienced a lot in the football world over the past few months. What matters most to me is what he has experienced in his family life. Because of all that, I really wanted to greet him."

Regarding Messi's retirement from the Argentina national team, while Martino believes Argentine fans are disappointed by the decision, they are not surprised. He said: "Whoever it is, when they announce they won't play for the national team anymore, we as Argentines will feel sad. But no one should be surprised. Whether it happens soon or later, everyone could have predicted this would happen."

Martino then emphasized that the most important thing at this stage is for Messi to enjoy his playing career. "The problem is that in a way, we are selfish. Leo is constantly asked to continue playing for the Argentina national team jersey," he said.

"He will continue playing for Inter Miami, but now it's time to enjoy all of this peacefully. He has a loving family. Even if we are sad not to see him with the Argentina national team jersey again, we should tell him: 'Go and be happy, you deserve it,'" Martino added.

Before the match, Martino had already discussed Messi's decision to retire from the national team. At that time, he said: "It's sad. But whether it's sooner or later, it will happen. As for why he chose this time, he must have discussed it with his family and close people. It's clear this was a well-thought-out decision. He said he made this decision two days after the World Cup final."

"For those of us who care about him, after he has given so much to Argentina and world football, the most important thing now is to wish him happiness in the future," Martino said.

Martino believes that the 39-year-old Messi should not bear any more external expectations. "He shouldn't have any demands placed on him anymore. What he needs to do is enjoy life with his loved ones, and after he stops playing for the club whenever he decides, he should fully enjoy all of that."

Finally, Martino said: "He has given enough to Argentine people and world football. We don't need to continue thinking about what he should do or what decisions he should make. We always like to make decisions for other people's lives. But now we are facing someone who has already given us so much."

"He has complete freedom and opportunity to do as he wishes. In the end, whatever path he chooses, it should be a decision made from his heart after consulting with his family and closest people," Martino concluded.
