How skilled are the children of 'God of Football' Lionel Messi (38, Inter Miami), who possesses his DNA?
On the 18th (Korean time), Messi attracted attention by evaluating the soccer skills of his sons Thiago (13), Mateo (10), and Ciro (7), born to his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, during an interview with the Argentine YouTube channel 'Simplemente Fútbol' in Miami, USA.
Messi noted, "All three sons play with the ball all day long," adding, "They come to the training ground after school, and it's really nice for the whole family that I can join them."
He continued, "They are still kids, so they are very pure and natural. I don't want to say who does better. Right now, I'm just observing them," while also adding, "However, all three definitely have different tendencies."
Messi evaluated his eldest son Thiago as "the most thoughtful, with an organized style, resembling a midfielder." He emphasized that the second son Mateo has "a more aggressive tendency, likes to score goals, and prefers to play near the goal as a forward."
Furthermore, he specifically described the youngest, Ciro, as "the most explosive, enjoys breaking through and 1-on-1 plays, and has a style of creating his own play."
Currently, Messi's sons are training at the Inter Miami youth academy, showcasing their individual personalities. Their training sessions with teammates Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba’s children are often shared on social media.
Messi has entered the final stages of his brilliant career. However, his three sons show a passion for soccer, indicating the possibility of following in their father's footsteps. It is particularly intriguing that Messi's soccer DNA manifests in different ways in each son.
