October 8th. One of Messi's opponents, Seattle Sounders player Cristian Roldan (wearing jersey No. 7), nicknamed the American "CR7", talked about Messi on the show.

Although Messi is questioned by many people who don’t understand football because he likes to walk, and players who walk may become invisible. Invisible players also have tactical shortcomings such as inaction and hindrance. However, Messi’s walking is a tactic, and he has a guarantee. No matter how bad his performance is, he is still better than most players on the field, so he will not be invisible. The opponent CR7 of the United States also expressed this position. He said that Messi will not be invisible, and everyone will always feel his presence.

US CR7 also exaggeratedly stated that Messi’s presence was so strong that he could dream about him the night before the game. In the dream, American CR7 can finally defend Messi. But in reality, Messi cannot be guarded, and the process of guarding Messi is particularly tense and painful.

US CR7 said that defending Messi requires the entire team to keep an eye on Messi at all times, including when he is walking. On the one hand, we need to see where the ball is, and on the other hand, we need to see where Messi is. Sometimes I turn my head to watch the ball, but then I have to turn my head immediately to see if Messi has changed his position. American CR7 said he can tell others that Messi blinks several times in a game because he looks at Messi for too long. They have defended Messi to this extent, but Messi is still the only player in history. It’s terrible.

The host asked American CR7, even if he is guarding Messi like this, are he still worried about one day becoming Messi’s background? For example, after being crotched and played with, the pants were shaken off? American CR7 said that this would indeed be the case. He would really shake off his opponent's pants. He joked that he had to wear jeans. American CR7 said that Messi really only needs a moment to change the game. American CR7 recalled that when Messi was on the court, he was very quiet and would not talk trash. Although American CR7 stares at Messi and can count how many times Messi blinks, he advises opponents not to stare into Messi's eyes because they may be told "I'll give you two a nest".
