In a very sincere interview with daily newspaper ‘La Nacion’, Leo Messi showed his softer side and recalled his beginnings in Rosario, which he calls his homeland.



Leo Messi opened his interview with ‘La Nacion’ by saying: ”I’m from a neighbourhood like any other, that stays the same as always. Rosario is the place where I was born, and I spent my childhood there very happily, and that will never change regardless of goals or fame.”

The Argentine revealed anecdotes of his childhood, and noted that his love for soccer started at a really early age. He recalled: ”Where I grew up, I learned to play football and to love the game. My mom would send me to run errands, however, I only went if they let me do them with the ball.”

Leo Messi noted who first inspired him into the sport in the first place, he mentioned: ”I do not know if my first ball was bought by my mother and father or my grandmother, Celia, however, I’m certain that she was the one who insisted that I start taking part in football in a team.”

The Barca star also commented on why he never thought of playing for Spain: ”Argentina is my country, my family and my way of expressing myself. They always ask me why I don’t have the Spanish accent in spite of everything, and the reply is straightforward. I do not need the Spanish accent or to lose the identification I’ve with my country.”
