God Is Behind My Success As A Footballer – Messi

Inter Miami forward, Lionel Messi has come out to say that God is the reason behind his success as a footballer.

He recently revealed that he has simply tried to make the most of the gift God gave him, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it was obvious to those around him from day one that he was born different, but he did not realize it personally until he grew older.

Messi added that he has only tried to squeeze the most out of his God-given talents throughout his career.

His words, “It’s very clear to me that I was born like this because God chose me. It was a gift he gave me.

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.”

WOW.
