Lionel Messi’s son is already displaying his impressive football skills at just four years old, showing that he is following in his father’s footsteps. Mateo showcased his talent in the family’s garden, proving he’s a chip off the old block.
It appears that Lionel Messi’s four-year-old son, Mateo, is also quite skilled when it comes to scoring goals. In a recent video, Mateo can be seen kicking the ball into the top corner from afar, followed by a speedy run and a precise finish. The footage seems to have been captured in Messi’s backyard in Spain, where there is a small soccer pitch. Mateo seems to have picked up some moves from his father, as he celebrates his first goal just like Messi would.
Messi Jr celebrates his goal by embracing both hands and raising them up high, then heading straight for the camera and putting a finger to his lips in a gesture of silence. His second goal is reminiscent of his father’s style, as he skillfully dribbles the ball from midfield before scoring low into the corner and dramatically falling to the ground while clutching his face as if he has been fouled. Despite his impressive skills, keen observers will notice that Mateo favors his right foot over his left, showing that he is not just a clone of his famous father.
Mateo mimicked his dad by putting his finger to his lips, showing that he may be picking up some tricks from another world-renowned talent, Cristiano Ronaldo. Recently, Ronaldo proposed the idea of having dinner with his long-time rival, Messi, and the Argentine has responded positively to the suggestion. Messi expressed to Sport magazine that he is open to the idea, saying, “Yes, I don’t have any problem with that.”
.
I’ve always maintained that I don’t have any problems with him. While we may not be close friends since we’ve never worked together, I often see him at award shows and there are no issues between us.
I’m not sure if there will be a dinner event because our schedules might not align due to our busy lives and commitments. However, if I do receive an invitation, I would definitely attend.
Perhaps Mateo and Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr, could join them in a casual two-on-two game in the backyard to end the night’s fun.
