Participating in Rio Ferdinand's talk show, David Beckham shared his thoughts about Lionel Messi, making people think of a kind of "troll" for Cristiano Ronaldo.
When the former England centre-back asked about comparisons between Messi and Ronaldo and the views that the Argentine superstar is a natural talent, while his Portuguese rival develops through training, Beckham said that Messi also trains very hard.
David Beckham said: “I’ll take you back to the first day he came to our training ground. He arrived at about 6.50am and there was no one in the centre except the person who opened the door for him….
He arrives at 6:50. Yes, 6:50!
And the team's practice schedule is 10 o'clock. The team doesn't practice until 10 o'clock.
He's in the gym. He's warming up. He's doing all the things you expect a young player to do, and he's still doing them at his age.
With everything he's achieved in his career, you'd think he'd be a little more relaxed and leisurely.
But no... If I had to describe him with the word 'winner'”.
Becks had more to say about the efforts his Inter Miami star has made. However, for many, the highlight of the story was the time the former England midfielder mentioned.
That is the number that many people use to tease and provoke Ronaldo on social networks. 6:50 is also read as “10 to 7”, in which 7 is Ronaldo’s shirt number, and 10 is Messi’s shirt number.
Ronaldo and Messi have created an unprecedented individual race for more than a decade, together winning 13 Ballon d'Or awards (Messi 8, Ronaldo 5).
Early morning October 18, Messi was honored by Spanish newspaper Marca when he was awarded the prize for the player with the most titles in history (46).
Messi also changed the image and strength of Inter Miami to bring 2 trophies to the young team's tradition room (founded in 2018).
