Messi - The Good Friend & Colleague

"I like to score goals, but I also like to be friends with the people I play with. It’s good to be valued as a person, it’s important that they have a good concept of who you are beyond being the guy that scores a lot of goals." - Lionel Messi

In a recent interview with Spanish daily newspaper El País, FC Barcelona and Argentina striker Lionel Messi spoke of his desire to be remembered as a good friend and colleague to his team mates rather than as the best player in the world.

To hear such a comment from arguably the greatest ever footballer in the history of the game and who still has the best years ahead of him is an incredibly powerful tool for coaches and teachers working with young people.
