Neymar Hints Messi Kings League Visit

The attention of the football world has returned to Brazil but this time on a booming Kings League World Cup. With the growing popularity of the tournament both among the fans and the elite players themselves, Neymar has made a revelation that has rocked the event featuring Lionel Messi.

The Santos striker who has been there chasing the positive performances by Brazil in the Kings League World Cup showed up in a live stream where he affirmed that he was planning to attend the semi-finals or the final. Although that announcement in itself was thrilling among the fans, Neymar did not stop and even hinted that maybe Messi himself would be present at the event.

As Neymar says, the concept is not completely hypothetical. In a casual speech during the stream, he disclosed that Messi himself had called him requesting him whether he could be present at the tournament or not. Neymar responded in jest that he would have to inquire whether there was room to be taken but the voice he used indicated otherwise.

Messi may come, Neymar later said, a sentence short in itself, but one that immediately sparked Brazilian and even external social media. With both stars being attractive worldwide, it would be a historical moment to the Kings League to have Messi as a guest which would continue to mix the world between the traditional football and the new entertainment-based forms.

The Kings League has quickly become the new home of past and present football players who want a more loose competitive setting. The inclusion of Neymar gives additional strength to the brand and its popularity, particularly in Brazil, where football is a part of their culture.

In the meantime, the legacy of Messi has remained the topic of football discourse. One of his old Barcelona teammates David Villa has recently come out with his opinion on the Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo debate, and was a strong advocate of Argentina. According to Villa, Messi is the best player in the world and there is no doubt as to that fact considering that he is not going to retire.

Provided Messi does attend the event at the Kings League, it would not only serve as a charge to the fans but also represent how the tournament has become more globally relevant.
