In the lead-up to what will surely be his last World Cup, Lionel Messi shared an intimate reflection. In an interview with the show Miro de Atrás, hosted by Gonzalo Iglesias together with Nahuel Guzmán, the Argentine captain spoke about his life, his family, and surprised everyone by revealing what his biggest regret in life is.
"I regret many more things and today I tell my children:having a good education, studying, being prepared", the Rosario native said.
The current Inter Miami player went deeper into a specific aspect that, as he said, weighs on him in particular today:not having learned English when he had the chance. "I had time to have studied at least English, I didn't do it and I regret it a lot because later I lived through situations of being with unbelievable and spectacular personalities and being able to talk, to have a conversation, and you feel kind of, you know, ignorant", he confessed. "You say what an idiot, how I wasted time", he concluded.
Before this moment of candor, Messi went over what his education was like and the "disaster" that his last year in Argentina was before he moved to Spain at 13 years old. "I lived around the corner and I walked there in the morning. I always arrived late, I had (the school) around the corner and I always arrived late. Later I went to Barcelona and I did first, second, third, and fourth, which was up to there, and I finished it at the school where all the kids from "La Masia" went".
Meanwhile, he also emphasized the importance of his children receiving a good education. "I tell my children to take advantage of it, they have a different situation. I never lacked anything; my dad did everything possible for it to be that way. But it is true that they have a different reality", number 10 commented.

For Messi, although the key is to find a balance with academic education, his children's sporting life is equally important. "I like them coming to the club, they train all afternoon... it's good that they grow fond of it, it is what is caused from a very young age".
"Soccer gives you things that you don't experience at school. That cleverness and the day-to-day life in a group help you handle different situations in life", he concluded.
