Lionel Messi, open -hearted about how they play football and in what positions imagine their children: “The three are different …”

It is common after each match of Inter Miami In the Chase Stadium that are replicated on social networks the videos of the children of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez y Jordi Albaamong others, playing ball like any kid in a neighborhood But the skills of Thiago, Mateo y Ciro With the Florida club shirt, where they play in their minor divisions. And this Thursday, as if that were not enough, ‘Pulga’ itself was encouraged to give a soccer description of each of their children. Unprecedented.

Papa Lionel, who at 37 enjoys the closing of a career full of titles, first tried to politically dodge the question that Quique Wolff asked him about his boys, in an interview published in the you tube channel of ‘Simply football’, the historic program that led the former central marker and moved from the TV to streaming.

“The three are all day with the ball, it is a place where I can accompany them, they come to train after school and I can be, for me it is also spectacular to do it as a family. It is normal, they are very innocent. If I get to name one that stands out more today they see all, I prefer to keep it. But the three are different “he said.

But there he launched, loose, especially what each of them generates inside a playing field. He started with Thiago, the oldest with 12 years, whom he defined as “The most thinking, the most organizer, more midfielder”.

Mateothat next September 11 will turn 10, it is “More front”why “He likes to make goals and be close to the arch”; while Cirothe smallest with 7 years, “It is more explosive, more incoming, plus one against one, which makes its play”.

Within just over a year, Messi can become the first footballer to play six World Cups, next to the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo. While carrying out the race to reach 1000 goals as professionals, which has CR7 ahead but with more career time so far.

“I obviously think about the World Cup and be able to be, but I live the day to day. I have to be honest with myself to know if I can be or not. I enjoy doing this, I grew up with a ball and it will be a lifetime like that, beyond being a player or not. Enjoying it while we can,” he said.

In fact, he admitted that since his arrival at the MLS of the United States he has modified his way of playing. “It is a very physical league, where there are very young people who resolve errors with the physical and that it seems that it does not but runs a lot and many round trip games are made in the last minutes and more spaces are found. It is a league where the teams are growing a lot, they were reinforced well and if the league would allow to bring more players, they would do it, because they have many obstaclesit could grow more. It travels a lot, they are longer distances, “he explained.

And finally, he talked about the rivalry that was generated with Mexico during the World Cup in Qatar 2022: “I do not know what happened to the Mexicans, when that anger started, I always felt very dear to its people, I never missed the respect of anyone, but they put themselves in a position of rivalry that does not exist. But it was more the relief of the importance of the goal that against the people, the court was brave, because it always has the only one. I was very even. “
