It didn’t take long for Messi to become my idol. Year after year he solidified his status at the top of my list of favorite players by giving me many joys and celebrations while wearing his Blaugrana shirt: 10 league championships, 4 Champions League trophies, 7 King’s Cups, 3 Fifa Club Tournaments, 3 European Super Cups, 8 Spanish Super Cups, in addition to adding individual successes that also brought happiness, such as his 6 Ballons d’Or, 5 Golden Boots, his recognition of Fifa World Player and his 7 Pichichis.
Obviously, it was impossible that a player with such influence in the history of football did not have detractors. Someone help me find a single consistent fan who wouldn’t have wanted such a player in the ranks of their favorite team. Even so, I continually hear critical phrases such as: “It’s a cold chest”, “It is that he does not stand out in important moments”, “it is that he only lives on what Xavi and Iniesta give him”, “It is that he can not score goals with the head or with the right” And a long etcetera. To all these criticisms, I simply answer: seeing Messi play is a joy, a continuous party that is crowned with each goal he scores, and grows with each foul he stops, with each extra effort after a blow and with every drop of sweat he left on the pitch on behalf of FC Barcelona.
As Hernan Cascarini once said in his story, published in Orsai magazine in 2012, alluding to the Argentine player: “Messi is a dog.” It is because of his dedication, his passion for playing and his love of the ball:
Messi in which Messi receives very strong fouls and does not fall. Do not strip or complain. He does not cunningly seek the direct free kick or the penalty
“Messi in which Messi receives very strong fouls and does not fall. Do not strip or complain. He does not cunningly seek the direct free kick or the penalty. In each frame, he keeps his eyes on the ball as he finds his balance. He makes inhumane efforts so that what was done to him is not a fault, nor is it yellow for the opposing defender. “
Messi says goodbye to Barcelona: “I did everything to stay”
Currently, I had to see him say goodbye to the club of his loves with tears in his eyes , which undoubtedly caused sadness in my heart. Many moments came to mind, such as his unique goals against Getafe or against Athletic Bilbao, as his header goal in the final of “The Champions” against Manchester United, or as the image of the star lifting the trophy continental in their 2009 championship.
I will no longer see him with the FC Barcelona patch tattooed on the left side of his chest.
Now I had to see him with a different shirt, which causes a bittersweet feeling, first of all because of the nostalgia it causes me to see him happy with the number that saw him debut on the back, but also with anguish that leads me to think that probably not. I’ll see more with the FC Barcelona patch tattooed on the left side of his chest.
There is no doubt that I want to see the best of his magic at PSG, and hopefully he will shut up again as he has done over and over again year after year.
