He was a star and was compared to Messi, he was beaten by alcohol and now nobody wants him
They said he was going to be a top player…
Lionel Messi is unique and this was confirmed after what was done at the World Cup in Qatar, where he led the Argentine team to its third title in history. However, many players wanted to compare them with the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and they never measured up. One of them painted for crack, the messy life took its toll and now no one sees him again.
It is about the Mexican Giovani dos Santos. The midfielder was excited in his debut. He was trained at La Masía and in his first professional steps they cataloged him as the new Messi. However, he never managed to consolidate himself at FC Barcelona and began a long, insignificant journey through Europe until he returned to his country, where he also failed to stand out.
