It’s often said those most critical of us are those that are closest to us, and it seems as though that’s the case for Lionel Messi, too, with his own grandfather branding his latter performances in the Copa America for Argentina as “lazy.”
“Some of him was there,” said Antonio Cuccitini, Messi's grandfather, to Radio Casilda (via Enis Koylu of Goal.com). “Triumphs are the greatest things there are. But the last three games he was bad. He was lazy.”
Messi has received some criticism for the manner in which he performed during the Copa America despite skippering Argentina to the final.
