Several of his crosses on the playing field are well remembered and even Ramos was sent off in one of them for a very harsh challenge on Messi in the middle of the field. Furthermore, at that time, it was not unusual to see them face to face at some tense moment in the game.

A rivalry that, beyond how intense it seemed on the playing field, finally It was left aside when they both met at PSG. It was even common to see them sharing smiling chats in practice and in the locker room.

“We just finished eating and we were in the room having some mates. Generally we meet in a room at all times. After training, eating, and there we have mates. Together.” The usual ritual is repeated in the United States. Before the start of a new Copa América, Lionel Messi Enjoy with your companions. He laughs and is more genuine than ever. So much so that, before the afternoon training that the National Team had in Atlanta, from his room in concentration, He gave an interview for the streaming program of Tomás Messi, his nephew, and spoke about his private life: “Before I was jealous”, the sport in which he does not stand out and the dream of touring Argentina.

Messi knows the world. Soccer (or fúlbo, as he says) took him to visit many countries around the globe. However, he has a pending account: to tour his country. “I never had the opportunity and it is something that we always talk about with Antonela and do it as a family. Being able to visit our country that has wonderful places and many people from Spain who visit our country tell me about places they visited and I don’t know. Obviously I saw them in photos but I never went,” he says in Willingness to Everything, the streaming program of his nephew, Tomás de Él.

When asked what specific place he would like to visit, Messi responded: “I would like to visit the falls, a place so typical for us that I don’t know and I would like to go. A few years ago Antonela went with the children and I couldn’t go.” It is one of his plans for “when all this is over and I have time. I will surely visit my country.”

In his free time, apart from watching football, Diez consumes a wide variety of films. When he was younger and lived in the country “I watched ‘Cebollitas’ and ‘Chiquititas’ a lot. “I didn’t really like the little drawings.” Then, when he grew up, he got hooked on novels. “I like ‘Brave’, ‘Campeones’, ‘Son de Amores’ and ‘Game of Thrones’.”

Although post-Qatar Messi is much looser, when he is asked something that bothers him he always smiles and turns red. When they asked him if he was jealous, he responded with a laugh: “Now I’m not jealous. When I was younger I was jealous. When we were dating Anto, but it’s been a while now. I had my times but I haven’t been jealous for a while now.”

In addition, he told how he met Antonela: “I started playing in Newell’s and there I became good friends with Lucas, Antonela’s cousin and he is one of my best friends all my life. I went to his house, to eat, sleep and I went there a lot. I met her there, we knew each other from a very young age and we always liked each other. At that time it was called: “Amigovios”, ha. When I was 13 years old I went to Spain and we lost contact. At that time communication was much more difficult. Then we stopped talking, we became very distant from both Lucas and her. At 16/17 we met again and chatted with Messenger and Mail. We got closer again and we hadn’t lost the feeling we had since we were kids, nothing had changed. At 19/20 years old we already got married.” And he added: “The reunion with Antonela after my trip to Barcelona was when I returned to Argentina and it was much easier for me to be able to get around. I was with Matías, the one who took me everywhere in Rosario. I looked for an excuse to go visit Lucas and see her, ha. There we saw each other again and started again.”

“The truth is that I understand almost everything and little by little I’m starting to talk. I think I have to let go and encourage myself to talk about it. Out of shame or fear of sending me someone, I don’t send myself to talk but I think I could start talking and understand a lot.”

“I’m bad at tennis. It’s much more difficult than paddle tennis, it’s very technical. With Antonela we went to a couple of classes and then we stopped. I tried a couple of times but I don’t know how to play it.” And he also says: “I played ping pong a lot. In the camps more than anything. We spent a lot of time playing ping pong and tricks.”

“I like it, I have fun. I have been doing advertisements for many years, since I was very young. I got more and more into it. When they are funny things and there is a good atmosphere, it is good to do it. It amuses me.” However, he assured that it makes him a little uncomfortable but that it is not an impediment to stop doing it: “A lot of situations make me nervous. Beyond the fact that they are moments to laugh and have a good time, the nervousness of wanting to do well in front of so many people in the recording is always there. But then it goes away.”

“The whole process we went through was very nice. I was lucky to do it with Antonela and the boys. I entered an environment where I didn’t know anything. I always had the idea but never had the time. Here in the US I met the people indicated that helped me with this and I am very happy with the result. Furthermore, he values ​​his free time so he can dedicate it to something else: “Now that I have more time than before, I take advantage of it to spend my time on other things and not be as involved in football as I was all my life.”

“I’m not one to eat anything secretly. But at night, when the kids and Antonela are sleeping and I’m out there watching a game, I go down to look for something sweet. I really like sweet things: chocolate, alfajor, whatever I find in the moment. Not every night, but I do it often.

“We will try to achieve the goal. Although it is not easy to win it again, we are preparing to fight it again and do it again. Always thank all the Argentines for their love, for me it was very special to be able to achieve everything I achieved and have the affection of the people of Argentina, a place that I love so much. I am grateful for everything.”
