The captain and figure of the Argentine National Team He gave himself to several interviews in the run-up to the America Cup and, between his appointments, He reserved a place to stream with his nephew Tomás, where he let loose to reveal some secrets.

The pending account in Messi’s travel log
Leo traveled the world and can go wherever he wants. Or so those who see him as a star who took his football throughout the map would think. However, he surprised by revealing What destination would you like to visit?.
Messi was asked about a pending destination and he opted for his beloved Argentina and the natural wonder in Misiones. “Whenever I have vacations I go to Rosario and even more so now that my calendar has changed and I have them in December with the Fiestas and the summer in Argentina. The Fiestas for me are very special and being in Rosario with my people is sacred. In the future When all this is over I will have plenty of time to visit, for example. Iguazu falls. I don’t know them and it’s such a typical place for us. I didn’t visit it and I would like to go. Antonela went a few years ago with the kids and I would like to return with them,” Diez acknowledged.
Since Messi has “many miles”, it is natural to think that he has plenty of tourist attractions in his history. However, he clarifies that there is not enough walking time: “Because of soccer I was lucky enough to go everywhere and walk around the world. In quotes, because I go from a hotel to the field or to training places. I visited many places and I have yet to visit Argentina that I never had the opportunity to. We always talk about it with Antonela (Roccuzzo) about doing it as a family and visiting our country, which is wonderful. Many people from Spain tell me about places they have been in Argentina that I don’t know about and I saw through photos, but I would like to explore my country a little. country”.

The one who dresses best? For Leo he is a central defender. “It’s difficult to choose someone who dresses better because everyone has their own style and you like it more or less, but I choose Otamendi because he has a lot of cool when it comes to dressing.”
The richest mates? The sacred infusion is the talent of Ángel Di María. “The one with the good dunks is Fideo. We shared a lot of time in the National Team and also one year when we were together in Paris. He makes good dunks.”
The messiest? Leo He remembered a former teammate and a confused midfielder. “I always shared with Kun (Agüero) and since he is gone I have no companions. Several of us always get together in the same room and it ends up generating normal disorder due to the number of people we are in such a small space. But Rodri (De Paul ) is pretty messy.”
Messi and his least healthy habit
Like every elite athlete, Messi takes care of himself. But like every human being, Leo has weaknesses. What is yours? The sweets.
They asked him if he ate secretly and the captain answered honestly: “No, but at night when Antonela and the kids fall asleep and I stay there watching TV or a game until late.” I go down to look for something sweet to eat. “I really like some chocolate, alfajor or whatever I find at the moment.”
He likes sugar so much that he even made an unexpected confession: “I really like desserts, more than roasts.. I am very sweet. “A good ice cream after the barbecue is good and cannot be missed.”
In addition to ice cream, Leo has another favorite to close the meal: “I’m very normal when it comes to food. Continuing with the theme of desserts, Catalan cream from Barcelona is a dessert that I ate when I was little and I really like it.” .
Intimate Messi: the most spicy rival, the sport that costs him the most, his desire to act and more
Among so many questions, some of Leo’s answers are striking. They wanted to know Who was the player with whom he had the most disagreements in his extensive career?. In this regard, the ex-Barcelona and PSG player recalled: “With several from Real Madrid. Sergio (Ramos) was one and then we were teammates, but we fought a lot. Generally the classics were intense and sometimes we clashed.”
Messi, who was admitted as a member of the “summer team” because he doesn’t like the cold, also He confessed which sport he is “very bad at”. “Tennis, which is more difficult. You have to know how to play well because it is very technical. I tried many years ago and with Antonela we went to a couple of classes, but I don’t know how to play it. It’s a different stroke compared to paddle tennis, which I’m not good at, but I like to play. I try to pass it as best I can, I run and I don’t give up a ball for lost, but when it comes to hitting I’m not technical or anything. I just try to return it and pass it,” he said.
In addition to providing notes, Leo also lent himself for other purposes on TV and left open the chance for an unexpected job. “As an actor I like it and I have fun. I have been doing commercials for many years and each time I get the hang of it. I get more relaxed when things are funny and there is a good atmosphere, that’s good, it amuses me. Yes, it makes me nervous, but I try to keep it inside and not let it show, beyond the fact that they are moments to laugh and have a good time. There is also the nervousness of wanting to do it well, because there are cameras and a lot of people at the time of recording.”
Following the thread of the small screen, Messi said that, like many Argentines who are around 30 years old in Argentina, his favorite childhood series were the most iconic ones by Cris Morena and, later, some of Pol-ka. “I watched Cebollitas or Chiquitas. I wasn’t much of a fan of looking at cartoons, I didn’t like them. When I grew up I really liked watching novels. They bravely took them to me in Barcelona because I couldn’t see them there. They recorded them and sent them to me. Campeones or Son Amores , they were others.”
