A reporter asked 10-year-old Lionel Messi who he wanted to dedicate his goals to after being named Man of the Match
Messi replied:
“To my father, my uncle, and my family.” 🥺
🚨 Gavi on Cucurella to Real Madrid: “Well… Real Madrid changed their fullbacks A LOT lately! That's what you get from having Lamine Yamal at Barça”.
“He's THE BEST. Now they signed Cucurella to stop Lamine, good rival, good player, I like it”, told RAC1.
This video is a World Cup game against Uruguay by the way.
Ronaldo made the Portuguese federation file a complaint to FIFA, to award the goal to him, and that he touched the ball with his head. The complaint didn’t even progress because of a sensor on the ball.
I have never seen anything like this before. Mind you, this goal was awarded to his TEAM MATE, Bruno Fernandes. A team goal.
Now, you want same team mate (s) he wants to carry him, how can they carry him when he’s always trying to take their spotlight if they even get any.
Cristiano tried to claim the goal on the pitch, but didn’t work. After the game, he kept complaining just like you see in this video, it didn’t work. He then made the federation ask for a review from FIFA,they were ready to present video evidence (I wonder what evidence). It still didn’t work.
It was an adidas ball and they had a chip inside, FIFA and Adidas stood on business. This is technology, you did not touch the ball Ronaldo.
Guess why he needed that goal so bad? He wanted to equal Eusebio’s 9-goal record for Portugal in World Cup history. Eusebio scored all 9 goals in one World Cup. Ronaldo is on his 6th World Cup and has 8 goals. So he is chasing that record with everything. That’s not even the point.
My point is that, you don’t demand respect, you earn it. His attitude to always take the spotlight from everyone is what you see today, he would go the extreme even to steal his team mate’s goal just because of PERSONAL AMBITIONS.
His team mate will score, he will be unhappy because it wasn’t him. It just always be him.
Personal ambition has brought Ronaldo to the level he is, but the downside is that, the extremism of it can make your team mates see themselves as less, and you need them, because it’s a team game.
The Argentines are playing for their careers also, but there’s that extra motivation that they’re playing for Messi, it is not far fetched. A team mate like Otamendi even tattooed Messi on his body, De Paul will die for him, he’s Alvarez’ god, Lautaro owes him everything, Romero would never joke with him, Paredes and Enzo will go to battle with him, Dibu calls him a god, MacAllister said Messi told everyone to stop calling him ginger hair and nobody dared. De Paul said he is accessible and humble.
Messi will put his guys own, he will never say he’s the best, he barely even talks, but still they regard him like mad.
That is a leader you’ll go to battle with, not the one that tries to steal your goal.
You often wonder why Messi commands so much respect in the Argentine team and it “seems” Ronaldo doesn’t with the Portuguese team, this is primarily because Messi is a selfless person. He puts everyone and the team first. It’s never about him.
He’s not concerned about the records, he wants to put everyone on. He cares about everyone.
Lautaro Martinez was struggling one time to score goals, he was heavily criticised. Argentina had a penalty against Guatemala, I remember that game so much, Messi gave it to him. Lautaro later said in an interview that that gesture changed everything for him. He appreciated Messi publicly.
MacAllister once gave us an idea of how much respect Messi commands. He said everyone joked with him and called him ginger hair in the Argentine squad but he didn’t like it, he said Messi told the guys not to call him that anymore, and nobody dared say it again. Just imagine that level of respect.
Otamendi is close to retirement, and hadn’t scored in a long time for his country. Argentina played Zambia in April in a friendly match, they had a penalty, and Messi forced Otamendi to play it, it was a fun moment, the team was happy, this is what earns Messi respect.
De Paul once said in an interview that Messi does not prioritise himself, but he prioritises the team. He said Messi is so humble, respectful and accessible. This is what a leader is.
For someone who barely says anything, why does he command so much respect? Messi doesn’t go about telling them what he’s won in his career, no ego, he regards everyone, this is why they can die for him. So anytime you see everyone running for him, he didn’t have to remind them that he has carried them on their back before, so now they should carry him😭
Away from Argentina, who remembers when he got to Inter Miami, they gave him captaincy. When Inter Miami won their first trophy, it was time to lift the trophy, and Messi looked for Yedlin, gave him the captain band and they both lifted the trophy together. These are the things that earns you respect.
Listen to every team mate Messi has played with, it’s the same thing. He respects everyone, does not think he’s better than anybody, never arrogant. Never for once had he said he’s the best player, not once.
Isn’t it unbelievable that someone who has won everything in the game acts like a nobody, listen also to how David Beckham described him on STF.
For everything I have said, please verify it. If I can, I’ll post some of these moments in the comments.
In this video, Almada offered Messi his seat, but Messi turned it down and sat on the floor. The respect Almada has for him has tripled, that’s how you do it.
@OLAOMOOLA2912@tobyasky You’re just spewing something else. I’m sorry to say that. I made an analysis of how the ball was meant for Bruno. And I’m glad Henry was also spot on about that. Don’t watch ball while closing your eyes. It was obvious, for that attempt and box situation.
@tobyasky I said this in the video I made. Immediately he lost that ball. I said that ball was meant for Bruno. Cos he is well placed to score that attempt.
This is why monogamy is a big problem for men. Men’s sex drive is generally higher than women’s. A man has to wait for a woman to be in the mood before sex can even happen.
Then, when she is in the mood, he has to help keep her in the mood, set the atmosphere, and make sure she enjoys herself while also trying to enjoy himself.
If he reaches orgasm first, suddenly the sex wasn’t good because she didn’t finish. If she’s stressed, tired, angry, depressed, or unhappy, she’s not in the mood, and the man is expected to simply wait. His sex drive doesn’t disappear just because hers did.
So monogamy basically puts a man’s entire sex life in the hands of one person. One person’s mood, stress level, emotions, and desires can determine whether sex happens or not. That’s a lot of power to give someone over another person’s sexual needs.
Now I understand why pornography, OnlyFans, prostitution, escorts, and other adult industries are booming. They remove the waiting, uncertainty, negotiations, and dependency. Men are paying for consistency and availability, not just sex.
Yall act surprised by this, but if you create a system where one person’s sexual needs depend entirely on another person’s mood, eventually a market will emerge to fill that gap. That’s just supply and demand.
@okikey@sammy__dray Even me watching from home, knew that the ball was meant for Bruno.
But carry on, most of you just watch ball for nothing. And this is not about any Ronaldo or whatever.
That ball was meant for Bruno. I even made a video acknowledging that.
There is just one thing a woman can give a man that he cannot get anywhere else. He can't get it from friends, he can't get it from family, he can't get it from animals, and he can't get it from any scientific invention.
But somehow, feminism convinced women that prioritizing this unique value devalues them. It convinced them to struggle so hard to emulate men, completely ignoring that their mental health and peace are tied to their own unique design, not to chasing masculinity.
Now she has what men have, but in the process, she lost what men want. Because truth be told, you cannot use a currency men don't value to buy access to a marriage market they control. It’s harsh, but it's pure economics.
Equaling Klose’s record and surpassing Ronaldo Nazario?
🚨 Lionel Messi: “It is a great honor to be able to compete with all these greats, including Ronaldo Nazario, among the players I have watched.
"He was one of the greatest players of all time, and yet he is not in first place. So in the end, it’s just a statistic.."
