Former Barca star Trincao explains ‘win at all costs’ mentality of CR7 & Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi both boast “win at all costs” mentalities, says Francisco Trincao, with the Portuguese slightly more demanding.
Trincao forms part of an exclusive club – having worked with Messi at Barcelona and Ronaldo in the Portugal national team set-up – and has told Betano when asked who expects the most: “Both are very demanding. Maybe Cristiano seems a bit more demanding, but they both want to win at all costs.”
Trincao – who is now at Ronaldo’s first club, Sporting – was thrown in at the deep end when joining Barca from Braga in 2020.
He added on finding himself alongside the likes of Messi and Gerard Pique at Camp Nou: “It's always a shock, because we're not used to it...They are players that I grew up watching play and it ends up being quite a shock, but they have always treated me well and I have adapted naturally. They end up being normal people.”
Messi is still going strong at MLS side Inter Miami – becoming the most decorated player in history during his stay in the United States – as Ronaldo has hit 50 goals for the calendar year while on the books of Saudi PL outfit Al Nassr.
