Mateo’s son increasingly shows his potential to become a great player in the future.
Recently, social networks spread a remarkable moment of Mateo – the second son of the Messi family. The image was recorded during a match from last December of the Inter Miami youth team. Accordingly, at break time, the 8-year-old boy came in front of one of his teammates to give feedback and motivate him when he saw that this player was not playing as expected.
“Even though the moment was posted without sound, Mateo’s movements showed it all. It didn’t take long for this moment to be widely shared around the world,” Ole newspaper shared. Witnessing the above moment, many people thought that Mateo had leadership qualities, promising to go far in the future.
Also in this match, Mateo is said to have scored a hat trick against the opponent’s net. Even though he has lived in luxury since childhood, Mateo still possesses a strong desire to play football. In the documentary about Messi’s family, when asked by his father about whether he practices to play football or not, the boy shared briefly. “Yes, I will do it every day. We can’t just go on the field. We need to practice to play well,” Mateo said.
According to Messi, all three of his children are big fans of football. Like Mateo, eldest son Thiago (11 years old) was also enrolled in Inter Miami’s youth team. Meanwhile, the youngest brother Ciro (5 years old) cannot go to the academy because he is too young. However, the boy still regularly plays football with his father and brothers at home.
