#1 Lionel Messi- On teamwork

"I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy. I like to score goals but I also like to have friends among the people I have played with.” – Messi beautifully captured the spirit of team work with this quote. The football wizard realizes that an individual doesn’t win a game but a team does. Messi holds his team mates in the highest regard and prefers to be a humble human being rather than a superstar. He still owns his childhood home back in his native Argentina and hangs out with his old friends back there in his free time. Messi will certainly be remembered as a simple down to earth guy long after his retirement.
