I Did Nothing To Become World’s Best Player – Messi

Inter Miami superstar Lionel Messi has revealed that God has been the reason behind his football success.

The Argentine made this known while speaking about his footballing talent.

The 37-year-old, who is currently with Argentina at the Copa América in the US, told podcaster Juan Pablo Varsky that he has tried to make the most of the gift he was given.

“I was always different. People came to watch me. I didn’t realize it, but I only began to understand that as I grew older.

“Of course, I tried to take advantage of it [talent], I tried to squeeze the most out of it, but the truth is, I did nothing to become the player that I already was when I was little.”

Yes, Leo’s got a gift—one in a billion, no doubt. But he’s not giving himself enough credit because he worked just as hard as any other footballer to become what he is today—the best player in the world.
