A goal, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 … and who are you? Messi? No, his son Thiago, 12 years old. In a game valid for the MLS Cup Under 13, the first -born of the Pulce scored 11 of the 12 goals with which Inter Miami defeated the Atlanta United. In the last game with the Al-Nassr Under 15, Cristiano Junior, 14 years old, son of CR7, he trimmed 10 out of 10 goals at the Al-Ittihad. A pallton bridge between the United States and Arabia that inevitably triggered scenarios of the future.
Children of 13 gold balls, the same age difference of the parents of the parents, will prolong the paternal feud and will compete for the title of Goat? CR7, even competitive with the mirror, has already said: “My son wants to become better than me. He won’t succeed …”. More appropriately put: “Thiago? The important thing is that it has fun”. At that right age not to demand anything else. The history of sport is full of young people crushed by the comparison or ambitions of the fathers. Lebron dragged his son into too high a sky that takes his breath away. Enzo Zidane, launched by his father in Real Madrid (a presence), has already withdrawn, at 29, after having slipped into the third series. Let Thiago and Crj have fun and learn. They will soon find that sending a less talented friend to the net, seeing him smile, feeling team is beautiful how to score goals and maybe they will mark only 6 out of 12 or 4 out of 10. For now it’s not a fault. Children binge as goals as ice cream, in an innocent way. Egoism is sin from adults. They are aged colored balloons. The golden one can wait. Let’s let them play, without pressure and without comparison.
