Lionel Messi, the famous football player from Inter Miami and Argentina, talked about what he thinks is the reason for his successful career.
The 37-year-old star, now playing for Argentina in the Copa América in the United States, discussed the beginnings of his amazing skills.
In a conversation with podcaster Juan Pablo Varsky, Messi mentioned that he sees his incredible talent as a special gift from God.
“It’s very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me.” he told podcaster Juan Pablo Varsky
“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.
