Former Real Madrid player and coach Zinedine Zidane, in his meeting with American Inter Miami’s Argentinian forward Lionel Messi, talked about what distinguishes the striker from other football players and what makes him one of the best in the world. Zidane’s speech was published on YouTube channel adidas.
“To play as a number 10 you need to have magic, just like you do. Because “ten” is the leader of the team and the leader must be creative. Just like you, he must have something that makes him different from others.
You notice some things before anyone else. Number 10 needs to do this. I was one second ahead of everyone else, you were three seconds ahead. For me, this is what distinguishes you from others,” Zidane said.
Messi became world champion with Argentina in December 2022. After playing for French PSG for two years, the striker was transferred to Inter Miami in the summer of 2023. On August 20, the Argentinian won the League Cup, the first trophy in America. After 14 matches for Inter Miami, Messi scored 11 goals and 5 assists. The Argentine forward won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his career on October 30.
Messi before named a person who admires himself.
