Argentine maestro Lionel Messi is often termed as one of the greatest players ever to grace the game. The attacker has been an idol for many who look forward to making a name for themselves in this sport. One such fan recently got a chance to ask and get to know Leo about how to be like him.
In a recent interview, a young girl asked how she could be like him. She asked the former Barcelona star how he dealt with pressure. And also about how he stays calm during all the intense situations, like the finals of the Champions League.
After 20 years of dominance, Messi reveals his secret for calmness by saying, “Well, actually it is difficult for me to give advice, but the only thing I can say is to enjoy what you love, dream, and fight for your dream”.

The World Cup winner concluded by saying, “In the end, I think this is the most important thing in addition to trying to achieve what the person wants, and with work, effort, and sacrifice, the reward will come in the end. Sometimes the path is difficult, but we should NEVER give up trying”.
Messi is currently playing for MLS side Inter Miami. He joined them after parting ways with the French Champions Paris Saint-Germain following a two-year stint at the Parc des Princes. The player also recently lifted the World Cup trophy with his country on December 18, 2022.
Lionel Messi urges David Beckham to sign veteran Real Madrid midfielder this January
Lionel Messi has urged his team, Inter Miami, to sign Croatian legend Luka Modric in 2024. The iconic midfielder has fallen out of the pecking order of manager Carlo Ancelotti’s squad at Real Madrid and might look for a new adventure at this stage.
According to former Real Madrid forward Pedja Mijatovic, the World Cup winner believes that the veteran midfielder would fit in perfectly in the MLS. Leo has reportedly approached his club’s co-owner and former Manchester United star David Beckham about the potential transfer of the La Liga star.
In a recent interview, Mijatovic said, “Modric has received offers from the United States, from many teams and from this one in particular. He already had the one in Saudi Arabia but he wanted to stay in Madrid. Messi himself has personally been interested in the possibility. In Croatia, a few days ago, Modric met Beckham, where they were eating”.

The midfielder has recently talked about working hard and getting his place back in the starting XI. But opportunities are hard to come by for the 38-year-old, given the depth of his squad. He is currently competing against the likes of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and others for the spot.
A possible transfer to Inter Miami could be something in which Luka Modric might be interested. Messi believes that it would be beneficial for both parties for Inter Miami to purchase Modric during the upcoming window in January 2024.
