He showed that in China he was not just an idol for adults but for youngsters too
Messi has become a good example for children on and off the pitch
Lionel Messi, Barcelona's Argentune star, showed once again he is an idol to many people. During his stay in China he was hailed by young fans, not so young fans, and children who wanted to be close to their idol.
Messi is an example for many and his actions are copied by people, including kids. This photo from EFE's Roman Pilipey shows a child waiting for Messi in a hotel and imitating his usual goal celebration.
