Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the news in recent days, due to the highly controversial interview he gave, which caused a fire in the dressing room and in the Manchester United board of directors, the club where he is a legend. This CR7 attitude contrasts strikingly with that of Lionel Messi, who is only focused on the World Cup.
The Argentine team presented news shortly after the World Cup in Qatar, because Joaquín Correa and Nicolás González will miss the event due to injury. In replacement of 'Tucu', Lionel Scaloni, coach of the Albiceleste, called Thiago Almada. Now, the praise that Lionel Messi launched to the Atlanta United element is remembered.

As Scaloni anticipated in the last hours, there was a change in the initial list of 26 players, after the physical condition of Correa and González.

What did Leo say about the Atlanta United element?
After sharing the field with the 21-year-old player, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and current PSG striker, he commented: “Thiago is very fresh, a very fast player, a lot of 1v1. Very mischievous, he is not afraid of anything, he always faces ”.
