Lionel Messi has been a huge source of inspiration for the entire world. Not only in the field of football. In Barcelona, it is a holy word and he is in the Culé Olympus, along with Johan Cruyff, Pep Guardiola, Xavi Hernández and other stars. Precisely for this reason it is surprising that a former teammate of his at the Camp Nou, with whom he has shared the most glorious era in the club's history, state that Leo "is not the example for the younger ones".

Former footballer Bojan Krkic, who retired from professional activity a year ago and assumed a role as youth football coordinator in Barcelona, launched a documentary on Rakuten TV this Friday. In the feature film, the Spaniard seeks to explain his approach and perspective on success in sport by transferring his experiences as a player. What people think is very beautiful, but where there is suffering and effort.

But everything changed when he appeared for an interview in Diario As. There, Bojan explained that "it is not a documentary just for football fans, it goes further, it talks about personal situations and shows that Messi is not the example". Quickly, journalist Santi Giménez answered: “Excuse me!?

The reason why Messi is not a good example

"Neither Messi, nor Cristiano, nor Rafa Nadal are ordinary cases. They cannot be the example for young people. They are extraordinary. Success is not that, it is only going to happen to them. Success can be applied to many scenarios", Bojan explained. And he closed: "For me Sergio Canales is a successful athlete because he has broken his knee three times and has made it to the National Team. Joselu, at 33 years old, has come to Madrid. These situations are successful".
