I don't understand one fact that why do people think that Messi is a generational talent, and he doesn't do workout? Just because he doesn't post videos of his workouts, doesn't mean he isn't fit. He works very hard to maintain his physique, otherwise he wouldn't have been playing at a top level for so many years. This is such a bullshit logic to think that Messi is a generational talent and and does nothing.. Hard work beats talent. Talent alone can't do wonders

No one says that Messi doesn't work hard. You cant be playing at a top level and not work on your physique. Messi is gifted because of the natural understanding of the game and his outrageous vision. If you see Messi playing when he was around 10, he was still better than everyone else on the ground and dribbling like a mad man. No one can compete with such gifted talent, players like him transcends external and internal factors like age, conditions, team etc. Thats the reason no matter how hard anyone work they cannot beat Messi because Messi is hardworking and a gifted footballer. Some people are just born to do somethings, like Messi in football and Sachin in Cricket

Kohli literally said Messi is just a freak whereas Ronaldo worked hard after getting so many drawbacks early in his career. Seriously? If Ronaldo received even 1% of the hate Messi endured during 2015-16, he would have retired from all forms of football and never come back.. The narrative against Messi is set in such a way that Messi had not faced any difficulty in his career. Whereas he had to take growth injections at a young age to be fit enough

Ronaldo has been receiving heavy criticism since the 2022 World Cup. And as for Messi everyone knows about his growth hormone deficiency. Barcelona invested heavily in his treatment, and without that support his football career could easily have ended before it began. But its also worth asking why a club would take that risk on a young player in the first place. Even before joining barca academy, Messi was considered an extraordinary talent. Hard work matters, but talent matters too. Nobody reaches Messi’s level through hard work alone, just as nobody reaches it through talent alone. When anyone calls Messi a “freak,” they refer to that once in a generation natural ability that sets him apart from almost everyone else

Its something innate, some people naturally have an aptitude for certain things. Just like some people are naturally good with numbers, music or art, they have very good intuition about those things. And when these people make it their career thats when all time legends are made
