"When I watched Messi play for the first time, I fell in love with his style of play. I was always counting down the time left with my dad to see if I could catch up with him and get the chance to play alongside him.

We saw it as almost impossible, but in the end, God willed me to achieve that dream, and fortunately, I was able to enjoy that experience.

I watched everything he did with great interest; how he spends his day, what he trains on, and what he eats.

For me, one of the best experiences of my life was eating with him, having him by my side, and listening to him. I learned so much from him, and I'm very grateful to him."
