Not to be believed, the controversial phrase of an Inter Miami player about Messi

Time passes, the candidates change but there is one who seems to always be there and who is inexhaustible: Lionel Messi. The best player in the world, champion of the Qatar 2022 World Cup being the great figure, is once again among the nominees for the Ballon d'Or and everything indicates that he will win the eighth award of his career. However, while all this was happening, a young teammate of his at Inter Miami had a controversial phrase that caused some surprise.

"Messi played against me. It's crazy. If you watch the games he's always walking, scanning the field and suddenly he disappears. It's very difficult to keep up with him. I felt frustrated, even knowing that he is one of the best players in the world, because "I want to be able to defend him. I want to improve and be able to defend him very well in the future," said Tyler Hall, youth and captain of the Inter Miami Under 17s. Now, what was the exact phrase that never ceases to surprise?

Although in general terms it even seems to be flattering, what draws attention is the phrase that says “he is one of the best players in the world.” Yes, this player put Leo in a group of great players but not as the best in history and not even as the greatest on the planet or this year. Without a doubt something very curious considering that he is his teammate and that he has probably never seen a player like Messi up close.

However, he also praised Messi for his personality

Beyond the fact that he did not put Messi as the best player in the world, he at least highlighted the great humility and personality of the best footballer of all time (which he does not consider that way, apparently). "The first day he came, it didn't feel real. It was like I was in a video game or something. He's a very approachable guy. He's always smiling and always comes to shake my hand. He's a great guy and he's very good to everyone." young players," Hall said.
