Most importantly, the Argentine (阿根廷人) needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.

　　Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.

　　While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster (平淡的) showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.

　　But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.

　　Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps (低潮状态) until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.

　　5. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career?

　　A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.

　　B. He must win the tournament a few more times.

　　C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.

　　D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.
