✍️FROM MESSI AND CRISTIANO TO LAMINE AND MBAPPÉ
History repeats itself: COMMITTED PLAYERS facing personalities with excessive EGOS.
Even in football, history inevitably repeats itself when the protagonists of the story are the same, even if the circumstances and the era are different.
Messi and Cristiano were always different, VERY DIFFERENT. The Argentine, a sensible footballer who deliberately stayed away from controversy, made football the sole focus of his life, while the Portuguese became an extremely SELF-CENTERED figure and found himself involved in situations that benefited neither him nor his club.
MESSI WAS ALWAYS AHEAD: in football, trophies, and the affection of the fans.
And when the time came to say goodbye, the final verdict arrived: Lionel Messi is bidding farewell to his national team in a HUGE TRIBUTE MATCH that will evoke emotions, affection, and tears all over the planet.
As for Ronaldo, he decided days ago to LEAVE THROUGH THE BACK DOOR, announcing his rebellion, leaving the national team camp, and putting his teammates in a difficult situation.AN EGO THAT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED...
And just as history repeats itself, the current rivalry between BARCELONA AND REAL MADRID is once again embodied by two major names: LAMINE YAMAL AND KYLIAN MBAPPÉ.
With the same characteristics.
Lamine, 19 years old and PURE TALENT, captivates the world with the football he produces, while Kylian is angering even his own compatriots and supporters, both French and Madridistas.
Lamine is focused on winning TROPHIES with Barcelona and the Spanish national team at the same time, while Mbappé challenges his coaches and angers his fans with photos he posts on social media of himself riding a bicycle instead of recovering professionally from his injury.ANOTHER SELF-CENTERED PLAYER BY EVERY MEASURE.
And the result is the same one we saw fifteen years ago:
LAMINE IS AHEAD — IN FOOTBALL, TROPHIES, AND THE AFFECTION OF THE FANS.
Perhaps because IT IS EMBEDDED IN THE DNA OF BARCELONA AND REAL MADRID...
