Besides, Mateo’s ability to control the ball and finish is also highly appreciated. Many people believe that Mateo’s playing style is identical to that of his famous father. Mateo also shows the spirit of trying his best. In one situation, even though he fell to the ground, the boy still tried to pass the ball to his teammates.
Mateo soon became familiar with the ball at a young age; many times his family took him to the field to directly watch the match. Messi said his children all have a passion for football. Therefore, the Argentine superstar tries to create conditions for children to pursue this passion. Two brothers, Thiago (11 years old) and Mateo, have been enrolled in the Inter Miami Academy. Compared to the talents of the two brothers, Mateo is rated higher.
