— THIERRY HENRY (Rio Ferdinand Presents): "Yo vi el comienzo de los tiros libres de Messi. Él solía venir a los entrenamientos y sus tiros libres no eran buenos. Yo pensaba: ‘No creo que vaya a convertirse en un maestro en esto’. Pero las repeticiones, incluso para los mejores, lo son todo. Es lo que la gente no entiende: hay un talento, sí, pero tienes que trabajarlo. Este chico venía, entrenaba faltas, le pegaba a la barrera, fallaba…. pero lo practicaba todos los días. Y, ahora, casi todos sus tiros libres son goles, disparos al poste o atajadas del portero".

Los que dicen que Lionel Messi llegó tan lejos solo por su talento, no entienden nada del fútbol (y de la vida). Sí, es obvio que el genio argentino nació con un don especial, pero no se habría convertido en el mejor de toda la historia sin disciplina, constancia y fortaleza mental.

Los tiros libres no eran lo suyo. Sin embargo, lo entrenó tanto que se convirtió en el mejor pateador de la actualidad y va camino a convertirse en el máximo goleador histórico de faltas.

EL REY DEL JUEGO ES MUCHO MÁS QUE SU TALENTO.

9 out of the 10 African teams have made it to the last 32 of the World Cup.

It’s been a brilliant tournament for African football.

And remember in the old 32 team World Cup format Africa only had 5 places.

A point has been proven.

[Stop That Messi @stopthatmessiii]

Messi has scored in his last 7 WC matches…

THE CONTRAST 😭

Columbia with a perfectly legal goal ruled out but no narratives about the World Cup being rigged for the Portuguese sex offender ofc

[Newell's Old Boys - English News @Newells_en]

Footage of a 9-year-old Lionel Messi doing kick-ups on the El Coloso pitch. The crowd chants "Marado, Marado", already comparing him to Maradona.

Messi's "Machine of 87" team had won the 1996 Copa de la Amistad in Peru & were presented to the fans.

Olise has Kane at club level & Mbappé + co. at international level..
Dembélé has a Doué, Kvara at club level & Mbappé + co. at international level.

I feel sorry for the guy.

Cristiano forgot to switch to his sister’s account on Instagram😭😭

"Cheer up Cristiano, you're the best player in the World Cup even though your team isn't helping you"

[Yugandhar Pradhan @slowpoison1]

They are still trying to be relevant, how cute! By the way Portugal is an amazing team and win it without Ronaldo, Ronaldo makes them mediocre. Dont flip it around PRs Morgan.

[P🇵🇸 @BielsaBall]

The way people talk about Messi in the World Cup, you’d think 12 of his 17 goals were penalties, it’s 4 lmao.

[HANNAH 😍 @akinz_babe]

If Messi wasn't born, we would have thought that muscles were more important than intelligence.

All thanks to Messi for opening our eyes 🙏😭
