If Lionel Messi will remain one of the greatest players of all time, a footballer who knew Pulga in his early days did not hesitate to express reservations.

Can Lionel Messi be considered an example? The question arises regularly. For the native of Rosario, as for all the extraterrestrials in his category, from Pelé to Diego Maradona, including Johan Cruyff, Zinédine Zidane or the two Ronaldos.

Bojan Krkic has a strong opinion on the subject. The former FC Barcelona striker knew Messi well during his early days at La Masia. According to him, it is very difficult for the young generation to be inspired by an extraordinary footballer in the sense that Messi achieves things that only belong to footballers of his caste.

“Neither Messi, nor Cristiano, nor Rafa Nadal can be an example for young people”

This is not a documentary reserved for football fans, it goes further, it talks about personal situations and teaches that Messi is not an example, Bojan explained to Rakuten TV. Neither Messi, nor Cristiano, nor Rafa Nadal are ordinary cases, they cannot be an example for young people. They are extraordinary. Success is not that, it will only happen to them. For me, Sergio Canales is a successful athlete because he broke his knee three times and made it to the national team. Joselu, at 33, arrived in Madrid. These situations are successes“, concluded the former striker.
