Each year, Time magazine selects the 100 most influential people for the current year. This year Lionel Messi is one of them. In a short letter, Roger Federer addressed the Argentinian for the magazine. He describes the 35-year-old’s talent and consistent awesomeness over so many years as extraordinary. Messi is a magician and his playing is a work of art and incredible.
In the last two paragraphs, Federer writes about the great influence athletes have on people and how heavy that pressure is. For Messi this is even bigger because he plays for world famous clubs and a very passionate country. An example of the influence of the Argentines is the immense party in Buenos Aires after the world title last December.
Did he name his son after Messi?
The Maestro also writes that Diego Armando Maradona and Gabriel Batistuta are actually his favorite players from Argentina. He was inspired by them. Now it’s up to Messi to inspire future generations. Finally, Federer thanks Messi (“Thanks, Leo”) and writes with a wink that you shouldn’t blink your eyes too often or you’ll miss something incredible from Lionel.
It is well known that Roger Federer is a huge football fan. He can always be found at FC Basel matches and follows his heart club. One of Federer’s twin sons is named Leo. Will the tennis legend pay tribute and respect to the PSG star? The superstar has not revealed this secret. (nsa)
