A famous footballer from Argentina, who was born on June 24, 1987
“I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else, I’m more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.”- Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi (Nitty Gritty)
“I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I’d have to make a lot of sacrifices. I made sacrifices by leaving Argentina, leaving my family to start a new life. I changed my friends, my people. Everything. But everything I did, I did for football, to achieve my dream.”- Lionel Messi
“On a personal note, I think it won’t be until after I’ve retired that I’m fully aware of what I’ve done or what I’ve gone on to achieve in my career.”- Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi (What’s the Story)
“You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.”- Lionel Messi
“When the year starts with the objective to win it all with the team, personal records are secondary.”- Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi (Final Thoughts)
“I never think about the play or visualize anything. I do what comes to me at that moment. Instinct. It has always been that way.”- Lionel Messi
“Every year I grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I’ve worked on, it’s part of me.”- Lionel Messi
“There are important things in life than winning or losing a game.”- Lionel Messi
