Recently, former Spanish international Fernando Llorente attended a FIFA Football Legends event in New York, where he discussed the FIFA World Cup final and Messi in an interview.
Llorente said: "It's going to be a fantastic match. I remember how nervous and uncertain we were before the 2010 FIFA World Cup final—the night before felt completely different from any ordinary match. But what struck me was how these young players handled such pressure."
"They proved that this generation of players isn't afraid to compete at this level and can deliver their best performance."
"I believe the two best teams have reached the final. Whichever team gets into rhythm faster and shows stronger desire to win will have a significant advantage. Of course, they also need to execute well, especially in the critical moments in the final third. Often, the team that scores first changes the game's momentum and builds confidence. Anything is possible."
For Llorente, Messi is "the greatest player in history." "What he continues to demonstrate is awe-inspiring, especially for young people. It's a lesson for all young players—a role model showing that hunger to constantly improve and make history," he added.

Messi cannot be a role model to every young football player because not every football player has the talent Messi has. It is only those who have the talent can emulate Messi but those who don’t have the talent cannot emulate Messi. They need to do hard work before they can succeed in football and that is where Ronaldo comes in. Because has become who he is in football because of hard work and determination. Ronaldo is better role model to every player who doesn’t have the talent but aspire to succeed in football. There a lot of footballers who had the talent but didn’t train hard enough and didn’t become that successful. Example is Eden Hazard. Even though he hard the talent, he was a lazy footballer when it comes to training.
