In a post made by Fabrizio Romano on X, where he mentioned according to @polloalvarezok, that Lionel Messi said he loves winning at everything to the extent he does not even let his sons win in video games.
This statement has caused lots of buzz, and even we at Softfootball are shocked. It has shown how serious Messi is and his willingness to always win, as Messi went ahead to mention that this attitude made him who he is today and helped him achieve his level of success.
But take a look, does it mean if Messi is playing with his children he is always too serious? If that is the case, it is commendable, as that is the spirit and mentality every human being should have and embrace.
Nothing goes easy. It is either a winner or a loser, and you must always play to win. It is a mentality and a psychological approach one should continuously build until it becomes part of you, always wanting to be number one.
We can clearly see why Messi is one of the most successful footballers on the planet because he loves to win, not just matches, but trophies.
And when Messi is asked about his achievements, he often does not focus first on the personal accolades because he understands that individual awards usually come when the team performs well.
So the number one goal should always be the team first, then personal accolades can follow later. This is the mentality Softfootball believes has made Messi stand out throughout his legendary career.
