The main points of Leo Messi's long and frank interview are about difficult moments, strange…
⚽️ ABOUT TEAMWORK, EMERGENCY AND BEHAVIOR ON THE FIELD
▪️On the defeat by Saudi Arabia: “I was devastated, I didn't want to do anything. But we started talking about it as a team, found a positive and it united us.”
▪️About leaving the national team in the past: “Barca had everything, but in Argentina they insulted me. I wanted to leave, but the new generation of players asked me to stay. It touched me.”
▪️On the behavior during the game: “I transform when I go on the field. I often do things that I later regret. The phrase “Que mira bobo” and the celebration in front of van Gaal was emotional, I thought about it: “What an idiot I am”.
🔮 ABOUT CAREER: PAST AND FUTURE
▪️About life philosophy: “Never give up. Life is falling and rising. Even if it doesn't work out, you'll know you did your best.”
▪️About the status: “Everything that is happening now is a bonus. God has given me so much more than I could ever imagine. All the trophies came at the right time.”
▪️About the “Messi Cup”: “It was my idea. It is important that children get experience not only in football, but also in human terms.
▪️About plans after football: “I don't see myself as a coach. More interested in the role of sports director or club owner. I want to build a club from scratch and develop children.”
▪️About moving to Barca: “My mother had to beg Newells for money for injections. Because of this, we took offense at specific people in the club and went to Barcelona, where the family was divided.”
🧠 ABOUT CHARACTER, PSYCHOLOGY AND ODDNESS
▪️About leadership: “I have always led more with actions than with words. Over time, I began to speak more, but the example on the field is the basis.”
▪️About self-criticism: “I am my first critic. I often insult myself mentally after bad matches or missed opportunities.”
▪️About psychology: “When I feel bad, I withdraw into myself. It's hard for me to share my problems, I keep everything inside. This is my minus. I used to go to a psychologist in Barcelona, now I don't.”
▪️About eccentricities: “I love solitude. Chaos at home tires me. If something doesn't go according to plan or someone translates my things, I get in a bad mood.”
▪️About emotionality: “I'm sensitive, sometimes I cry over movies. When you win the title, the joy lasts for two days, and then you think about the next game.”
▪️About values: “My father worked all day, I saw his sacrifice. Thanks to him and God, I lacked nothing. I grew up on the values of respect and work.”
🏠 FAMILY, HOME AND PERSONAL
▪️About life in Miami: “We live a calm, routine life: school, training, home. My son Ciro and I live football 24/7, he likes training and doing tricks the most.”
▪️About romance: “It's hard for me to express my feelings with words, I do it with actions. I like small details: leaving chocolate or flowers while no one is at home.”
▪️About alcohol and dancing: “I only dance when I drink a little. I like wine with Sprite.”
▪️About astrology: “I don't believe it, although Antonella says I'm a typical Cancer – sensitive and family.”
📱 SOCIAL NETWORKS AND TECHNOLOGIES
▪️About being careful: “Even an unsubscribe from someone becomes news. I don't like it when people talk about me outside of the context of football. If the rumors are not serious, I just ignore them.”
▪️About the phone: “I am terrible at answering SMS. I may not write for a long time, but it does not mean that I do not love a person. It's just that it's hard for me to maintain virtual communication.”
▪️About languages: “I understand and can speak English, but I'm shy to do it on camera. Once I was persuaded to say a line for an advertisement in Chinese – I felt strange.”
▪️On artificial intelligence: “I spend a lot of time on TikTok. It was there that I saw a video generated by AI where I was being “arrested” by the police. It's funny, but the possibilities of technology are a little scary. I don't use ChatGPT myself, although Antonella constantly asks something there.
