“I am happy with everything I have achieved, but I have to admit that there are inconveniences, as I cannot enjoy spending time with my family outside without anyone interrupting us,” Messi told France Football.
“I’m used to it. I’m a bit shy, but I’m a different person with my friends, family and those I know well,” he added.
In response to a question about competing with Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring the most goals, Messi explained: “The motive for this is not to beat Ronaldo, but it helped me develop in my career. When we were in the Spanish League, the competition with him was great. My ambition is to be the best. Since I’m young and I hate defeat, and I still love winning all the matches I play.”
And about his acceptance to wear the shirt that bears the number 30 in Paris Saint-Germain instead of the 10 that Neymar wears, “Al-Barghouth” explained: “Neymar had this number, and I was a new player for the French team. Neymar gave me that shirt, but I thought it was right to keep it. With that number. I know Neymar well and we had a great time in Barcelona, and she is one of my best friends.”
