I know when I am doing well, when I am not,<\/strong> when I play well and when I play poorly. When I feel it\u2019s time to take that step, I will do it without thinking about age.<br \/>\n\u201cIf I feel good, I will try to continue competing because it\u2019s what I like and what I know how to do.\u201d<br \/>\nAsked whether he had started to think about what he does next, the record eight-times Ballon D\u2019Or winner had no straight answer.<br \/>\n\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about it yet. For now, I try to enjoy each day, each moment, without thinking about the future. I don\u2019t have anything clear yet,\u201d Messi said.<br \/>\n\u201cI hope to keep playing for a while longer, because that\u2019s what I enjoy.
