It is a person that consider very simple, very human, very humble. The people says that Leo has a special character, very hard, strong, but no. It is not so difficult like the people thinks. But when being Leo Messi, many times the people puts like a shell, or wants to treat it of another way, but is a very simple person, very normal", has explained.

It has to be where happen things in the game, where goes the balloon".
