In his style of educating his children, Messi does not put pressure on his children but always wants them to do things according to what they like.

Lionel Messi is currently the captain of Argentina and the star of Paris Saint-Germain. At the age of 35, the male player is considered a living legend of the soccer world with many prestigious awards such as the Golden Ball, European Golden Shoe…

Besides his career on the field, Messi is known to many people as a secretive father when it comes to raising his children. Fathers always want their children to develop instinctively, promoting a child’s inherent abilities. Currently, this player has 3 children: Thiago Messi (9 years old), Mateo Messi Roccuzzo (7 years old) and youngest son Ciro Messi Roccuzzo (4 years old). Worth mentioning, all three brothers are fans of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Let your child develop instinctively

While Ronaldo – Messi’s rival, teaches his children extremely strictly with a strict training regimen, Messi lets his children develop instinctively, not wanting to put too much pressure on them. Accordingly, Messi always wants his children to develop the inherent abilities of a child.

Even though he knew his son had the same soccer talent as him, the male player still did not set any framework, only creating the best conditions for his son to develop his talent. Therefore, even though he does not have intense training sessions or rarely runs and plays soccer on the field with his child, Messi always follows his child’s development journey.

Letting your children enjoy playing fun games like puzzles, racing or participating in soft skills courses is still the core point in this football star’s way of raising children.

On social networks, fans rarely find photos of Messi practicing with his children. Instead, there are images of him traveling with his family or his children playing fun children’s games.

On the other hand, since childhood, Messi has suffered from rickets and the superstar should have given his children rigorous training from a young age to improve their physical strength, but he did not do so. Messi always protects and pampers his children. Perhaps because Messi’s father also raised him this way, Messi also wants to spend time taking care of his children and letting them develop instinctively.

Teach your children about frugal and minimalist lifestyle

In an interview with Argentina La Garganta Poderosa, Messi expressed that education is the foundation of everything. Indeed, he always emphasizes education and the role of parents in raising children. Especially in teaching children about frugal and minimalist lifestyle.

The soccer star said he tries to make his three sons understand that they cannot take a comfortable life for granted. In fact, Messi always tries to teach his children to understand the value of everything so that they understand that they will have to work to earn money every day and not think that they are lucky to be able to have many things easily.

In particular, in an interview with an Argentinian journalist when he opened up about his family life, the 35-year-old soccer star confessed: “Between me and my wife, I am the one who is stricter with our children.”

It is known that Messi’s wife is a calm person, she spends the most time with her children because he often has to leave home to compete. However, the children are still more afraid of Messi.

No need to think about how busy Messi is with his top football career. And normally, if such busy people go home, they will spend all their time relaxing and resting. However, Messi did not do that. Despite the intense training and competition intensity, the 35-year-old father always tries to spend all his time with his wife and children after stressful matches.
