Thiago, the oldest son, is naturally quiet, so he simply rested his chin in meditation while listening to his father speak. Mateo, Messi’s naughty second brother nicknamed “Chairman” of Messi’s anti-fan club by fans, yawned again and lay crookedly, tipping on the chair. Ciro, the youngest boy, sat on his mother’s lap and sat on the chair. People gasped, “What a true “anti-fan,” as they witnessed the three boys’ succession of reactions.
