Lionel Messi
Soccer GOAT contender
Sayings by Lionel Messi
I have fun like a child in the street. When the day comes when I'm not enjoying it, I will leave football.
The day you think there is nothing to improve, it's a bad day for any player.
I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world.
I always have a lot of respect for my rivals and I don't like to talk about them.
I used to love the games where you'd be in the street and it was all about who was best. Every time I step out there, I still feel the same.
I'm not a person who talks a lot, but I'm a person who works a lot.
I still have to improve to reach my best level, but I am happy with my condition.
The best decisions aren't made with your mind, but with your instinct.
I am competitive and I feel bad when we lose. You can't win all the time.
My ambition is always to get better and better.
I don't need to show anything to anyone. I don't have anything to prove.
I try to be a good person and enjoy what I do.
I have changed my diet. I don't eat chocolate or fizzy drinks anymore.
I think my personality is that of a winner.
I don't think I'm the best, I just try to improve myself every day.
I don't look at records, I just try to play my game.
I'm not a fan of statistics. I just enjoy playing football.
I don't get carried away with the praise or the criticism.
I always want more. Whether it's a goal or winning a game, I'm never satisfied.
I'm not interested in being better than anyone else. I just want to be better than I was yesterday.
