Thiago Messi, the eldest son of the Messi family, went viral in the last few hours for an action that won all the applause. It turns out that the little footballer participated in the LaLigaFuturesa youth competition led by the José Ramón de la Morena Foundation together with the Spanish League.
After completing the participation with the Inter MiamiThiago decided to interact with other footballers who pursue the dream of being professionals and made a particular decision to carry a backpack with many t-shirts from the North American institution in order to exchange with their colleagues.
With the presence of players from Flamengo, Barcelona, Villarreal, Atlético de Madridamong others, Thiago decided to avoid the sporting result and shared a moment with the rest of the boys by exchanging their shirts with those of their peers and thus generating a relaxed atmosphere.
This event, which was recorded by several people who were at the scene, showed a mature and professional attitude on the part of Thiago, who began to take his first steps in the sport since his arrival in the United States..
At the same time, on a football level, Thiago had an acceptable performance in the competition and led his team to compete in the “consolation final” that paired Inter Miami with the Orlando City. After beating their American counterpart 1-0, the players from all the teams greeted each other and began to gain more friction on the playing field.
Exactly within the framework of the LaLigaFutures, Thiago Messi gave his first interview as a player in the Inter Miami academy. Before the match against Barcelona’s La Masia, which ended in a 5-0 defeat, the son of the Argentine star told a little more about his life, his preferences and his aspiration to play in the argentine national team.
Regarding the competition he played in, the little boy was blunt: “I knew about this tournament, but I didn’t watch it. “I never thought about playing it.” In turn, he stressed that he felt quite responsible when deciding to be part: ““I got more nervous playing today than watching my father play.”.
On the other hand, Thiago showed quite a bit of ease in front of the microphones and clarified that his left-footed profile is not as good as his father’s, as he also stated that the most important goal Lionel scored was “the header in the Champions League final, against Manchester United” when La Pulga was wearing, at that time, the FC Barcelona shirt.
Finally, given the doubt of his interlocutor, Thiago established a firm position when talking about what his future will be like as a footballer and He clarified that his desire is to wear the Argentine national team shirt. Given this statement, the journalist asked him about the possibility that other European teams might want to convince him. “No, I don’t think so,” Thiago closed to wink at the country where his father was born and where he will surely make all the necessary efforts to be summoned by the coach on duty.
