You can have your personal goat but when it comes to football in general Messi is the goat.
🚨🎙️ Julián Álvarez on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi:
“People think we take care of Messi because of everything he's won.
That's not the reason.
We take care of him because he has spent his entire career taking care of Argentina.
When you share a dressing room with him, you quickly understand that he never asks to be treated differently. In fact, he's usually the first one to joke around, the first one to congratulate a teammate, and the last person to make anything about himself.
That's exactly why everyone naturally wants to protect him.
If Messi loses the ball, the first thought isn't, 'Why did he lose it?'
It's, 'Let's win it back for Leo.'
That's the mentality of this team.
We know that one touch, one pass, or one moment from him can change everything. So if we have to run an extra five or ten metres to give him that chance, we'll do it every single time.
For us, Messi isn't just the captain.
He's the heartbeat of Argentina.
Wearing the same shirt as the greatest player in history isn't pressure.
It's a privilege that we'll be telling our children about for the rest of our lives.”
¡MESSI ENTENDIÓ TODO!
Tras el silbatazo final del partido de Argentina y Cabo Verde en la Copa del Mundo.
Lionel Messi se alejó de todos sus compañeros para ir directamente con los jugadores de Cabo Verde, les dió la mano a cada uno, hasta abrazos de consolación. Dejando la rivalidad de lado.
Ese saludo con Vozinha, quien con 40 años está jugando su primera Copa del Mundo lo dice todo. Leo tiene 39 años y está en su sexto mundial. Para algunos será una obligación estar en una Copa del Mundo como Messi. Para otros como Vozinha, solo ocurre una vez en la vida. Prefirió estar con sus rivales antes que celebrar la clasificación.
UN GESTO DE HUMILDAD DEL GOAT.
🚨 Leo Messi: “Thanks to this team and these teammates, I can be at another World Cup today and I can keep competing”.
“I know they make an extra effort so that I can keep competing and they do it from the heart because they truly feel it”.
