Enzo: Maradona and Messi, I choose Messi!

November 17th. Argentina international Enzo Fernandez was interviewed by "Koora Break", during which he talked about Messi and was asked whether Messi or Maradona. As an Argentinian, Enzo's answer is also obvious, that is Messi.

Enzo Fernandez’s sincere confession revealed the core password of the Argentine team’s rise to the top of the world: “We fight for Messi.” From looking up to his idol to playing alongside him, the young midfielder described the honor of playing with the leader as "unbelievable". The whole team united into one will - to make Messi "feel safe and confident" through unconditional running and protection. This kind of leadership charisma that transcends tradition is the key to Messi turning a civilian team into a championship team. When the king of the ball gains unprecedented trust, and when every teammate is willing to give everything to him, the glory of the World Cup becomes the inevitable reward for this pure belief.

When asked to choose between Messi and Maradona, Enzo gave the answer without hesitation: "Messi". Behind this simple choice, it reflects the re-evaluation of the two Argentine legends by contemporary football people. There is growing evidence that Messi has indeed surpassed his predecessors in the breadth and depth of his achievements.

Judging from objective data, Messi's eight Golden Globe Awards have far exceeded the honors that Maradona may have received throughout his career - according to fair selection standards, Maradona can only win one or two Golden Globe Awards at most. On the World Cup stage, which Maradona is most proud of, Messi completed the feat of winning the best player in seven games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The integrity and stability of his performance even surpassed Maradona in 1986. At the club level, the dynasty Messi built at Barcelona and his continued influence at Inter Miami dwarf Maradona's legacy at Naples. Even Maradona himself predicted: "Messi will be the first in history when he retires." This video is still widely circulated on Barcelona's official channel.

Enzo’s attitude represents the consensus of the entire Argentine team. From De Paul to Alvarez, from Romero to Martinez, every member of this team has great admiration for Messi. It is this kind of heartfelt admiration that created the unprecedented atmosphere of unity in the Argentine team, and also condensed a team that originally had an ordinary lineup into an indestructible whole. In this locker room, respect for Messi has long transcended individual preferences and has become the team's common source of faith and strength.
