Luis de la Fuente, Spain’s national team coach, was not talking about just any opponent. He was talking about Lionel Messi, in the middle of the World Cup, and his words went viral for one very specific reason.
“Messi looks like he is 19 or 23. He is at an exceptional level, obviously no longer in terms of maturity, but above all in terms of commitment. He is tireless, he is insatiable. He wants more, more every day”.
Messi has spent his entire career proving that he is the best, but according to De la Fuente, he is still doing it today, with everything he has already won. That detail is what left more than one person thinking.
