That's why he didn't shine, the lesson of greatness from Messi to Neymar Jr that leaves him in a bad spot

There is a reason Lionel Messi has remained alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the football world for the last 20 years. The Argentine striker is a machine who never relaxes, even on vacation, and he demonstrated it once again. Despite being established and having won a new Ballon d'Or, the Argentine wants to continue for more in the final part of his career.

The comparison of Lionel Messi with Neymar quickly jumps out. While the Brazilian forward spends his time partying on a cruise ship traveling across the ocean, the Argentine star takes refuge in the affection of his family without exposing himself to the media and training in silence. Clearly, two talents who chose different paths in their careers.

It was Lionel Messi himself who posted a photo of himself with his wife Antonela on social media after finishing a training session. Beyond being on rest with Inter Miami, the Argentine striker is not relaxing and continues working to start the entire preseason in 2024.
