Lionel Messi cytaty

„Pieniądze nie przekonają mnie do odejścia z Barcelony. Odejdę tylko wtedy, gdy Klub będzie tego chciał.”

„Chciałbym dalej się rozwijać i dalej odnosić takie sukcesy jak teraz. Dzięki Bogu wszystko idzie po mojej myśli i mam nadzieję, że zarówno indywidualnie, jak i drużynowo uda mi się powiększyć liczbę trofeów.”

„Diego to wielka osobowość. W historii naszej reprezentacji stanowisko selekcjonera często trafiało do byłych, znakomitych piłkarzy. To dobra tendencja. Tacy ludzie jako Maradona wzbudzają respekt u zawodników.”

„Jeśli ktoś wpada w sidła narkotyków czy alkoholu, to wina nie leży tylko w nim. Przyczyną tych problemów jest brak możliwości, brak edukacji i innych rzeczy. Wszystko zaczyna się z niezaspokojenia jakiś potrzeb. Ludzie wplątują się w nałogi, żeby uciec od problemów. Dlatego dla mnie zawsze będzie najważniejsza praca, także na rzecz osób w trudnej sytuacji. Nawet jeśli ktoś jest odpowiedzialny za swój los, to nigdy w stu procentach.”

„Wiele osiągnąłem, ale nie zamierzam na tym poprzestawać. Jestem jeszcze młody i muszę zdobywać doświadczenie. Mój apetyt rośnie w miarę jedzenia.”

„Chciałem zakończyć sezon dobrym występem dla reprezentacji. Na wakacje wybieram się szczęśliwy i spokojny”

„Nie są najważniejsze. Prawdziwą wartość ma tylko to, jacy jesteśmy w środku. Ludzie nigdy nie powinni tracić pokory. Ja nie jestem kimś lepszym, czy gorszym tylko dlatego, że coś posiadam. Nie jestem też kimś ważniejszym z tego powodu. Powinniśmy się raczej przejmować i zająć tym, żeby wszyscy na świecie mieli, co jeść.”

“Sometimes you have to accept you can't win all the time.”

“It doesn't matter if I am better than Cristiano Ronaldo, all that matters is that Barcelona are better than Madrid.”

“It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.”

“Give the opponents more than one reason to stare at your feet.”

“You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.”

“[Becoming a father] has changed everything. He [Thiago] comes first then everything else. It has also changed the way I see a match. Before if I lost or did something wrong I didn't talk to anyone for three or four days, until it passed. Now, I come home after a game, I see my son and everything is alright.”

“Diego is Diego and for me he is the greatest player of all time. Even after a million years I am not even going to be close to Maradona. I have no intention of comparing myself with Maradona - I want to make my own history for something I have achieved.”

“Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer) was my hero. He was the best forward I've ever seen. He was so fast that he could score a goal from nothing and he struck the ball better than anyone I've seen.”

“Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.”

“You know as a player that you won’t have many opportunities to play in World Cups - so you have to take them when you can.”

“What I do is play soccer, which is what I like.”

“Barcelona gave me everything, they took a chance on me when nobody else would. I never have any desire to play for anybody else, I will be here for as long as they want me.”

“Being a dad changes everything for the better and I’m really enjoying it.”

“At Barca we trained every day with the ball. I hardly even took a step running without a ball at my feet.”

“I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.”

“Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.”

“You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.”

“There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.”

“When it comes to being badass nothing beats this It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.”

“I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I'd have to make a lot of sacrifices. I made sacrifices by leaving Argentina, leaving my family to start a new life. I changed my friends, my people. Everything. But everything I did, I did for football, to achieve my dream.”

“I never think about the play or visualize anything. I do what comes to me at that moment. Instinct. It has always been that way.”

“My ambition is always to get better and better.”

“The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.”

“Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.”

“I don't need the best hairstyle or the best body. Just give me a ball at my feet and I'll show you what I can do.”

“You can overcome anything, if and only if you love something enough.”

“The best decisions aren't made with your mind, but with your Instinct.”

“Like I've said many times before, I'm always more likely to remember goals for their importance rather than if they're beautiful or not. Goals scored in finals, for example.”

“My first memories are from when I was very little, maybe three or four years old playing in my neighbourhood at home. I can picture myself with the ball at my feet from a very young age.”
