In the interview that Lionel Messi he gave to the channel Luzu TV, On the 10th he left some resonant phrases in which he defined what his lifestyle is like outside of the soccer fields, where most people know him.
Messi, who assured that he is “weirder than shit“, he explained why he has atypical attitudes in his daily life. “I like to be alone, I enjoy being alone. The chaos of the house with the three boys running around ends up saturating me. I like my moment of solitude. I watch TV or a game, but mostly that. Antonela can say it better than me. It depends on my mood, for small nonsense. I am very structured, if I have my day organized and they give me something I disconnect,” He assured, and said that what he likes least is when he ‘gets blocked’: “It’s hard for me to go out a lot. When I don’t like something or any nonsense it makes me change my mood. The one who changes that for me is Mateo. He is one of the few who manages to get me out of that state. I also don’t like not communicating much, it’s hard for me to express myself. My problems, what happens, but it is my way.”
Regarding the latter, Messi declared that does not communicate: “I assimilate it internally. In Barcelona I did therapy and then I didn’t do anything else. I am one to eat problems alone. I changed a lot, but still, on a day-to-day basis I open up to her, but when it comes to sports I talk a lot with my dad. He was always by my side, I share a lot with my old man, but in life with her”.
The Inter Miami and Argentine National Team footballer also revealed that “he likes gossip” and he confessed that he usually watches LAM, among his cultural consumption. “I’m a bit like my old lady, I have fun. Antonella doesn’t like it very much. But nothing, just to stay up to date. I think I got it a little bit from my old self. He loves theater, he is Cholula. If it’s because of her, she was there with Ángel (de Brito) in LAM.”
As he assured, with Antonella they look ‘of everything‘, even streaming channels: “I look at the summaries, the clips, what appears to me. Two hours less is a lot. It changes you because we have a very organized routine. I do hang out watching TikTok. I spend a lot of time there. When I’m busy I watch. But I am aware of what is happening in Argentina. Our whole family is in Rosario”.
Messi also referred to his viral video celebrating with a ‘little train’ with his Inter Miami teammates: “First of all, I don’t like it, but it wasn’t the first. We had made 500 little trains. Someone had had a couple of drinks and said ‘little train again’. “Perhaps, to dance I have to be a little bit too cold,” he said, laughing. And when asked about his favorite alcoholic beverage, he chose wine. “To dance I have to be a little bit off. I like wine. Wine and Sprite, so it hits quickly. It’s nice in the heat,” he confessed.
On the other hand, he revealed that he does not use ChatGPT because “he couldn’t find the way around it”, but Antonella does, and that it is very organized. “I was always obsessed with order. At first she was a mess, but now she changed. I left my clothes and soccer things to go to training. I don’t like anything being touched. Since I was little and Thiago is just like me. Ciro is the most similar to me.”
Messi, his life in Miami, networks and relationships, and the day he met Charly García
The world champion told the story behind the meeting with the musician after a match of the Argentine National Team. “I didn’t know him, they asked me if I could come down and when I saw him, that moment when I saw him was inexplicable. It has a special energy. A magic, I was dazzled by his presence. It was something very crazy”, he confessed.
In addition, he said that he maintains a good relationship with Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca Juniors: “I talk often, we exchange messages. Now he congratulated me on the championship.”
Following that, he told how he handles his social networks and the precautions he seeks to take. “Sometimes, out there, I do have an account that I want to stop following, and I don’t stop. All that nonsense later has repercussions and is nonsense.. I haven’t silenced anyone. In that sense, yes, it is what I take care of the most, I give it a little more attention. I don’t like people talking about me about anything other than playing football.. It makes me uncomfortable to appear in anything, anything. I don’t like”.
Finally, he expressed what he likes about Miami, where he has lived since his arrival at Inter. “Here I live much calmer, everything is more American. They don’t give that much importance to football. In Barcelona he did it. People were kind of used to it, I lived there all my life. People saw me all the time. I always moved in the same directions. I went out, we live a lot of routine life. We are far behind the children. It’s not that we can go out that much, on the weekends they play. People have a different energy, it seems like everything is nice. Summer, heat. For me that is the beautiful thing, my day to day“And about Rosario, he assured that he loves it, but he doesn’t leave his house. “I go to my wife’s house or my brother’s house. I am with my people, more in December“he concluded.
