He humiliated Brazil, got compared to Lionel Messi and now can't find a job

Despite the fact that the debate can be subjective, the reality is that Lionel Messi is the best player in the world, he has been for more than fifteen years and, therefore, he has become one of the best in all of history. Despite this, players have emerged who have been compared to him.

It has been very common in these fifteen years that as soon as a new talent emerges, he is immediately compared to Lionel Messi, however, practically none becomes a quarter of what the Argentine is today. That is the case of the footballer in question.

It is about the Mexican Giovani dos Santos. The ex-player of FC Barcelona was destined to be the main figure of El Tri, but his messy life meant that he was forgotten. From a very young age, he remained in the history of his country by winning the Under 17 World Cup, being key against Brazil. 'Gio' humiliated the 'Canarinha' and the Aztecs obtained the title of the tournament held in Peru.

The taste for the drink prevented it from standing out in Europe:

FC Barcelona was his first team. He excited the fans from the beginning and they put him above Leo. However, his passing was fleeting through the culé team. He was in countries like England, Turkey, the United States and, in 2019, he signed for América de México and a year later he was disaffected. Since then no one wants him. The newspaper 'El Universal' revealed that his taste for drink and nightlife caused him to never be able to exploit all his talent.
