Anyone who has ever set their eyes on international soccer knows about David Beckham and his vast legacy as a midfielder for Manchester United. Beckham is known for his charming personality and his unbelievable free-kick goals. Recently in an interview, Beckham was asked to share with the world thoughts on his favorite soccer player in the contemporary scene. He revealed that his current favorite had to be none other than Lionel Messi, the famous Argentine heartthrob who led Argentina to victory against France, making them the 2022 World Cup Champions. This is what Beckham had to say about Messi:

“It has to be Messi. I love Leo for many different reasons. I love him because he’s a great father, I love him because he’s a great personality, a great character, he’s a great person.” 

Clearly, Beckham holds a soft spot for Messi not only for his abilities with the ball but also his character.

Thoughts On The Last World Cup Win

Beckham further elaborated on his love for Messi while mentioning the impressive way in which he led the team to become world champions. He feels that Messi wears his heart on his sleeve while tackling around with the ball on the field. His focus and precision are like no other.

 “I think what everybody loves about him is the way he plays the game. He plays the game with passion, he plays the game just free.” he said. “I think that in the last World Cup, the way he played for his team and his country, winning the tournament was an incredible moment for him, and I love seeing players like that,”

Clearly, the former English soccer star looks for passion and love in players, and Messi is just one of the many who show everyone the true spirit of soccer. 

Possible Links Between The PSG and Inter Miami

Beckham is the proud co-owner of the MLS Inter Miami club. The club has been adamantly trying to sign Lionel Messi to have the star player play for the team. Messi currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. However, his contract with the PSG is soon to expire, and as one may expect, a multitude of clubs are looking to sign him up. However, so far, Messi has maintained that he has not signed up with anyone, especially Inter Miami. Rumours have still surrounded the player regarding his next team. Whether or not Messi will transfer to a new club remains a mystery until his contract finally expires with Paris Saint-Germaine. 

Some fans may agree that Messi might be the perfect new player for Inter Miami. He seems to be in brilliant form for someone who is in the later prime of his age group. He recently spearheaded his team to lift the world cup in Qatar. Moreover, the man has 7 Ballon D’ors to his name and refuses to give up on his insane dribbling skills. He is considered one of the greatest for a reason.

Messi’s Current Contract

As is common knowledge now, Messi’s contract with the Paris Saint-Germaine is expiring. Even though the player has adjusted well with the club, his time with them is coming to an end within a 6 month time period. The star player has played in a total of 56 games with the club and scored over 20 goals for them. Recently, the club clashed with Al Nassr in a friendly match.

This meant that two giants of the game, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, came face to face once again. The match ended in a victory for PSG at 5-4

Portuguese soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the headlines for several reasons lately. Recently the news of Ronaldo joining Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr FC surfaced. Reportedly the star received a staggering offer of 200 million Euros per year to be a part of the team. 

Later on, it was also announced that Saudi Arabia would be giving an exemption to Ronaldo to let him live with his partner Georgina Rodriguez in a temporary place before they find a permanent home. Otherwise, Saudi has a law that disallows couples to live together if they’re unmarried. And now, luxury watch brand Jacob and Co., has partnered up with Ronaldo to seemingly promote their brand new watch.

Caviar Tourbillion

Soon after the signing of Ronaldo by Al Nassr, Ronaldo posted a picture on his social media handle with his private jet, all set to fly him to his new home team in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo was spotted wearing a stunning bright green wristwatch from Jacob and Co. The company has worked with Ronaldo for over a decade and a half. He was given this new watch which is priced at $780,000, which is something only those in Ronaldo’s league could afford. 

The watch is made out of gold and 388 baguette-cut tsavorites, stones that are a lot rare than even emeralds. The color of the watch is a deep bright green to represent the flag of Saudi Arabia that Ronaldo has become a part of.

In Ultimatum

Jacob and Co., have made watches for Ronaldo for a long time. They created a unique timepiece for him following his win against Manchester United in 2013. They also created a Bugatti Chiron-themed watch for him. The two are as inseparable as Ronaldo and soccer itself. In the coming years, we’re likely to see more magnificent timepieces on Ronaldo’s wrist created by the maker.

Everyone knows the phenom that is Novak Djokovic. The tennis mastermind has had an interesting approach towards playing through pain. Hamstring injuries are common place for athletes, and most would prefer to let their legs rest and recover after a major injury but not Djokovic. He insists that playing further will boost his performance instead of taking a well earned break from the court. However, things got ugly the last time he faced Enzo Couacaud about a week ago when he had to take multiple breaks for a medical assistant to look after his injured leg.

Treating The Injury

Djokovic still remains adamant about not taking a break, especially not during the Australian Open. Recently, he admitted that he’s working with every machine possible to keep his hamstring functional and help his leg recover. He mentioned in an interview that he’s been spending more time with these machines than with his family. This also includes biofeedback machines that attempt to help him cope with the injury.

He had ended up extending his hamstrings over the healthy limit in Adelaide a few days ago this month. This is what led to the disastrous events that followed, including him playing with his thigh wrapped up for protection. Somehow, Djokovic managed to play and beat world-class players at Melbourne Park during this Australian Open. 

Recent Opponents

Recently Djokovic faced Andrey Rublev in the Australian Open with an impressive 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 scoreline. It almost seemed one-sided on his part. But the wins weren’t nearly as effortless as they may seem to an observer. Djokovic really struggled with his injured leg while trying to outperform his opponent. Later while speaking to reporters, Djokovic said:

“I’ve been fortunate to really live through a lot of success in Australian Open. But [in the] last two matches, playing against two guys that are really good players, in-form players, to beat them dominantly in three sets is something that sends a message to all my opponents remaining in the draw.”

In Conclusion

Novak Djokovic is a brilliant and clearly persistent player who doesn’t seem to have any intention of giving up. He remains within facilities, so he can be helped by any biofeedback machine that is available to him. Some people believe that it would be a far better option for him to simply take a short break and allow his hamstring to recover. However, whether Novak will take this route to fix his injury or just play through all the pain and discomfort will remain elusive until the end of the Australian Open. As of right now, the 35-year-old continues his undefeated streak of 39 match wins.
