'Lionel Messi should serve as an example' - Brazil president claims Brazilian players party too much to win the Ballon d'Or

Brazil president Lula called on players from his country to follow the example of Lionel Messi if they want to win the Ballon d'Or.

The president ignored the longstanding rivalry between Brazil and Argentina to praise Messi, urging players from his country to look up to the Inter Miami superstar in terms of dedication to his profession and the longevity it produces.

"Messi should serve as an example to Brazilian players," Lula commented. "The 36-year-old guy, world champion, with the Ballon d'Or and everything. Messi needs to be an inspiration of dedication for these kids. Anyone who wants to win the Ballon d'Or has to dedicate themselves, they have to be professional. It doesn't go with partying, it doesn't go with a night out."

Messi is widely known for his quiet off-field life, making headlines for football and little else. Meanwhile, no Brazilian footballer has won the Ballon d'Or since Kaka in 2007. Neymar is the one that has come closest in more recent years, finishing third in both 2015 and 2017. But, at 31, and now sidelined with an ACL injury, his chance of breaking the drought is likely gone.

Brazilian players of this generation lack descipline and focus. Mayb it's because they came from a 3rd world nation, but Argentina, Chile and Uraguay re also a 3rd world nation yet her players re very desciplined.

Clubbing and drinking cut short Ronaldinho's amazing career. Neymar has towed the same path, and has inculcated some of his Brazilian colleagues into the game of clubbing and parties. He practically influenced 80% of the Brazil world cup squad to tinting their hair gold at the 2022 world cup in Qatar.
