Emiliano Martinez: "Messi is the first and only one in history to have gone through football"

Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez spoke interestingly about his teammate Lionel Messi.

"Messi embodies all the qualities of Argentines. He is a family man who gives everything to his children and wife. He loves football and gives his all on the pitch. Messi is an example to follow. He is probably the most famous person in the world. The way he loves his family and takes care of his children is a source of pride.

He is the first and only player in history to have gone through football. He ends his career as an idol - not only as a player, but also as a person. I don't tell him this because he already knows it. He knows how much I value him and protect him on the pitch," Goal quoted Martinez as saying.
