Quem ama futebol te aproveitou ao longo desses anos…
Hoje é seu ultimo jogo com a camisa da tua seleção, do teu país e eu espero que você curta cada segundo, que todas as homenagens hoje te façam feliz.
Não é só Argentina que te agradece, o mundo agradece por tudo que fez ao futebol.
Obrigado por me fazer amar ainda mais o futebol, foi uma honra ter jogado contra você e mais ainda fazer história ao seu lado.
GRACIAS Leo Messi 🐐
Ownership is not a feeling. It's a decision.
Most people treat their standards as a response to their environment performing when conditions are good, pulling back when they're not.
I've built my entire career on the opposite principle. https://t.co/YUIkXbvZAz
Today, Edin Džeko plays his final match for Bosnia and Herzegovina: “One day when I was 19, another coach turned up and said he wanted to bring me to the Czech Republic. I didn’t want to leave Bosnia, but he told me that I’d have a better chance to fulfil my dream there. To be honest, I didn’t even know what my dream was. I just wanted to get better. I had this belief in myself. The strongest part of my body was my mind. When I arrived at Teplice, I told myself, Edin, you have to outwork these guys, or else they will send you away.
They had bought me for 25,000 euros.
About two years later, I signed for Wolfsburg. When we played Milan, I swapped shirts with Sheva.
Then Manchester City signed me for 37 million.
Then I joined Roma.
I grew up with war. Suddenly, I was living a fairy tale.
Nothing is ever impossible.
Not even taking Bosnia to the World Cup.
Do you remember 2014? Most of you were probably not born yet. But when we qualified for our first World Cup, it was the greatest day of our lives.
I remember we played the decisive qualifier at this old stadium in Lithuania, and when the referee blew the final whistle, a bunch of Bosnians started jumping over the walls to run out onto the pitch. But the walls were like two metres high, and they had to jump down onto the concrete. I remember turning around and seeing them all running towards us and thinking, My God, these guys are crazy.
And then I saw one guy running a little slower than the rest. He was limping towards me with tears in his eyes.
It was my father.
I said, ‘Dad, what happened?’
He said, ‘I hurt my foot when I landed. But don’t worry. Right now, I feel no pain!’
We just hugged and cried.
Unfortunately, luck was not on our side in Brazil. You won’t remember this, but I scored a goal against Nigeria that should have stood, and there was no VAR in those days, so we went out of our group. But at least our little country got to play at the Maracanã. At least we showed the world who we are.” https://t.co/Ntp4FOszJf

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
