Holland international Marten de Roon made a funny comparison with one of the greatest footballers ever, Lionel Messi.Atalanta’s player published a video on Twitter of him waiting for fans to buy his jersey at the club’s official store. And after spending quite a dull afternoon in the shop titled the video – ‘I bet Messi never has to deal with this’.I bet Messi never has to deal with this. pic.twitter.com/W4uG6YPP1h— Marten de Roon (@Dirono) September 23, 2021 In the humorous self-deprecating video, De Roon says he would sign and pay for the first three customers who buy a shirt with his name on it.The video is filmed in the club’s shop and opens with de Roon making the above -mentioned promise. However, as time progresses, no de Roon enthusiasts enter the shop. There is even people walking around the shop and not noticing one their club’s main players. The 30-year-old had to keep himself busy by drinking tea, playing cards, taking a quick nap, doing a puzzle, etc.The video concludes with the footballer disappointed and a member of staff at the shop telling de Roon that it’s 7:30 PM and that it’s time to close the shop.de Roon is known for being one of the funniest footballers on the planet. His current Twitter bio reads ‘Summary of playing football in Italy: when we win I get the best table and the food for free. When we lose, my wife has to pick me up.’Sat, 25/9, 19.00: (2.10) INTER (3.50) ATALANTA (3.80)The said video is already trending online, amassing over 100,000 views on Twitter and in excess of 1,000 retweets.Since returning to Italy from a stint at Middlesbrough in August 2017, de Roon has enjoyed great success with the ‘Goddess of Bergamo’. The club finished 3rd in Serie A for three consecutive seasons and by reaching the Champions League Quarter-Finals in 2020, their decent progress in Europe is obvious too.After such a successful comedic marketing move – if there is a next time he repeats something like this, de Roon would surely have more than three no.15 shirts to sign.
