Lionel Messi has always been known for his modest manner on the game. However, the star has entered the final stages of his career, eliciting a wide spectrum of feelings. The world saw him grow hot under the collar during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, when he celebrated with an angry gesture toward Louis van Gaal. His best friend, Luis Suarez, discloses one thing that consistently irritates the Argentine captain: “It’s hot for him to lose.”
Who better than Suarez to provide knowledge on the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner? The two gamers have such a strong friendship that they continue to hang together despite being separated by continents for years. Anyway, after pouring adulation on the star, Suarez was compelled to reveal Messi’s rage troubles.
Luis Suarez says that he doesn’t even approach Lionel Messi!
Lionel Messi’s teammates are rarely exposed to his nasty behavior. However, Suarez, who spent six years with him at FC Barcelona, confessed that losing games irritates the Inter Miami skipper. On the La Mesa podcast, Suarez stated, “It’s hot for him to lose small games in football and training. Perhaps he is losing in soccer or tennis, and he becomes frustrated. If you eat (annoy) him, he will become angry. But be prepared, for he eats you every time. In the previous year or two, fans have seen glimpses of his fury during matches.
La Pulga recently faced Rodrygo of Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers. Even though Argentina was not losing the game, the Brazilian’s disparaging words sparked Lionel Messi, who challenged the Real Madrid star. Suarez underlines that if you irritate the icon, he will not back down.
Meanwhile, the Uruguayan claims that knowing how to interact with Messi is the cause for their long-standing bond. He also remarked, “You get along so well that you know him, and you know not to approach him when he’s in a bad mood. I’m not a jerk either. I can tell when he’s in a good or terrible mood.”
But, as previously said, Lionel Messi has other ways of expressing his dissatisfaction. In an interview a few months back, the World Cup winner revealed that he dribbled past Robert Lewandowski in anger at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, as time passes, the Rosario symbol has become more expressive, while also receiving criticism.
