Messi is gentle, Messi pampers his children… but that doesn’t mean the three sons of the Argentinian superstar grew up lacking discipline.

Messi and Argentina became the focus when they won the Word Cup championship after 36 years of waiting. Thousands of lenses focused on the happy faces of the superstar captain and his teammates. But besides that, equally attracting attention are the images of Messi’s wife and children.

Photo of Messi taking a “selfie” for his wife and posting it on Instagram; Messi hugged his children in happiness and immediately went “viral” on social networks. Not only thanks to his talent, Messi’s family’s warm and harmonious life is also the reason why he is loved. The Argentine superstar has always been known as a family man, spending all his time with his wife and children after training and competing. He is also a father who has a flexible way of teaching his children as well as his inherently gentle personality.

Teach children without constraints

If Ronaldo is willing to spend time teaching Cristiano Jr, guiding him towards football from an early age, then Messi is going in the opposite direction. He teaches his 3 sons – Thiago, Mateo and Ciro somewhat “easily”, not forcing them into any framework. Superstar fathers always know how to grasp their children’s strengths, arouse their inner motivation so they can be proactive and develop according to their inherent abilities.

Messi once frankly said that he definitely hopes to be able to train one of his three children to become an excellent football player, but he will not impose too much pressure on them like his father. As long as your child is safe, healthy and happy, that’s enough.

Messi plays soccer with his children. He teaches them soccer techniques, how to control and score goals, but does not force them to practice rigorously. Letting your children enjoy playing fun games like puzzles, racing cars or participating in soft skills courses is the core point in this genius’s way of teaching children.

Lionel Messi admitted that his son Mateo, 7 years old, is a reflection of himself when he was young and that many times this father had to “give in” to his son to win: “Mateo doesn’t want to lose anything. When he loses , he started arguing with his brothers. To avoid trouble, I let him win many times.”

Sharing with Marca, Messi said his daily life revolves around his children. The whole family gathers together in the evening to play games or watch football until it’s time for the kids to go to bed. Sometimes the parents of your children’s friends will organize an activity and the families have fun together.

“You grow and you learn. You gain experience in every aspect of life, on and off the field. But, as a father, having three children has changed his perspective on life, his way of thinking. mine and it also helps me become more mature”;

“Even though there’s very little down time at home with our three kids, we try to enjoy every moment with them, whether it’s watching TV, playing, or whatever. We love being at home.” and enjoy these moments ,” the Argentine superstar shared.

Change the way you deal with failure for your children

Before reaching the peak of glory, Messi shed tears many times because of failure. In the past, after losing a home match, he would be very depressed, gnawing away the pain alone, not wanting to watch TV, eat, or talk. Like most parents who bring home the negative emotions of work, Messi himself is unaware of how it affects the rest of the family.

But everything changed when his first child, Thiago, was born. He still loves football, even lives for football, but after having children, he thinks family comes first. More importantly, after becoming a father, the superstar born in 1987 believes that his biggest change is trying to face failure in a different way.

At that time, the eldest Thiago began to be interested in football, and witnessed some disastrous failures of Barcelona and the Argentina national team. So whenever Messi came home after a loss, the child would say: “Now we can’t talk to dad.”

Gradually, Messi realized that he had an obligation to manage his emotions, change his expressions, participate in playing with the children, or, even without saying anything, quietly observe the children.

“I still suffer after losses, but I can handle it better and control my emotions better. When parents learn to live with their children, the children will truly heal.” love you in their own way and strength ,” Messi shared.

Strictly correct and punish children when they make mistakes

However, being permissive does not mean pampering your child. In an interview, the superstar playing for PSG admitted that in his family, he has a stricter way of raising his children than his wife – Antonella Roccuzzo. “Between me and Antonella Roccuzzo, I’m the one who yells at the kids more,” he said.

Messi and Antonella do not hesitate to invest in their children’s education. The couple paid a total of 142,000 euros (about 3.5 billion VND) for their 3 children to study at American School Paris for one year. A number enough to shock many people about the cost of their children’s education. But at the same time, Messi believes that his strong love for his children does not mean giving them the wrong idea that a full, cozy life is a given. He tries to teach his children to understand the value of everything and the importance of work and independence.

Every time their children make a mistake, the famous couple does not ignore it but points out their mistake. For example, fans enjoyed seeing the funny moments of Messi’s wife and children during the match between Argentina and Australia on December 4. On social networks, fans shared a video recording of Mateo Messi in the VIP stands of Ahmad bin Ali Stadium with his mother and brother.

The boy stood up to observe, then suddenly pulled out a lollipop from his mouth and threw it into the stands below. Antonella Roccuzzo was surprised by her 4-year-old son’s actions. She immediately pulled Mateo down and made a scolding gesture. Previously, the youngest son of the Messi family, Ciro, was also scolded by his mother for jumping on a chair in the VIP stands during the match against Poland in the group stage.
