Barcelona's Lionel Messi reveals son Thiago won’t talk to him about a defeat as he greets fans at adidas event.
Lionel Messi has taken a back seat from international duty for now as Argentina prepare for two friendlies in the United States against Guatemala and Colombia.
But the Barcelona forward is still busy away from the pitch as he spent the day greeting fans at an adidas event.
Messi looked calm and relaxed during the event which comes shortly after an interview where he revealed he still struggles to deal with defeat.
Speaking on Radio Catalunya’s Tot Costa programme, Messi confirmed that with his eldest son Thiago getting more involved with football he has had to take a new mental approach.
Messi also admitted that Thiago is getting to grips with knowing that there are some things that should not be discussed following a defeat.
'Since Thiago's birth I try to take defeats in a different way. But it's difficult. I suffer a lot and I find it hard to pick myself up again,' Messi said.
'It takes me a few days. And Thiago understands it. He has started to really like football and he follows Argentina and Barcelona and after a big defeat he doesn't talk about it.
