Many people have wondered what Lionel Messi would do if he was not one of the greatest players of all time?
An old interview with 13-year-old Messi boy of an Argentine newspaper attracted attention before the 2022 World Cup final against France at 10 pm on December 18. This is believed to be Messi’s first interview with La Capital newspaper in his hometown of Rosario. The article was published in September 2003, just a few months before he moved to Barcelona.

In this interview, Messi revealed his hopes and dreams for the future, among other interesting things.
Even as a young player, Messi said he loved sports, whether it was professional competition or not.
When asked what he would do if he didn’t become a football player, he replied: “Physical teacher”.
However, the teenage prodigy has always set his sights on becoming one of the greatest footballers ever. When asked what his dream is, Messi replied: “Playing in the first division with Newell’s Old Boys”.
Although Messi never played in the Argentine first division with his boyhood club, he won the top 10 titles in Spain with Barcelona, as well as four Champions League titles.
Besides, he also achieved another dream, which is “to play for Argentina”.
Messi and his teammates will have the opportunity to win the World Cup in the match against France at 10pm on December 18. The 35-year-old has scored five goals and provided three assists in just six games in Qatar.
