The Beninese goalkeeper, Marcel Dandjinou, has thrown down the gauntlet to the legend Lionel Messi. In a match set for Wednesday during the FIFA window, the Benin Cheetahs will face the 2022 world champions.
Lionel Messi will play his final international match against Benin. The game is taking place in Argentina. Ahead of this momentous clash for the Cheetahs, the Beninese keeper is making his intentions clear. Marcel Dandjinou is determined not to be intimidated by the Argentine's name. He is fully prepared to showcase all of his skills to thwart La Pulga from scoring.
« I am a goalkeeper, and my job is to stop shots. Even if it’s the last minute and there’s a penalty, if Messi takes it, I will try to save it. It’s as straightforward as that: it’s football. Yes, we’re here to honor Messi, but no one said we had to give him a goal », the goalkeeper conveyed.
