At a recent major press conference, when Barcelona star
Lionel Messi (1987-), Argentine footballer
When he had not yet stepped into the venue, his emotions were uncontrollable and he was in tears. Standing beside him was his beloved wife Antonella, who promptly handed him a tissue to soothe Messi's broken heart. After a little bit of calm, Messi went to the podium, his words were full of determination, revealing that he and his family to stay in Barcelona this season's confidence, that is what his heart to. However, the reality is that he had to say goodbye to this expectation.
With Messi's honesty about the aforementioned emotions, the venue erupted in applause. Barcelona's president La Porte got up and applauded for Messi along with others. The applause lasted for more than a minute, once again provoking the outpouring of Messi's sincere emotions. He concluded by expressing his desire to return to Barcelona one day, in whatever capacity, for the future. Messi's sincere desire to return to the team has moved many fans, and many believe that Barcelona has failed to reward Messi for his pure loyalty. As Messi himself said, he has been trying his best to stay in Barcelona, continue to play for the team in La Liga. But fate is so merciless, Barcelona club finally did not choose to renew his contract.
Barcelona announced at the last minute that they would not renew Messi's contract, and Messi is well aware that the reason behind this is mainly related to La Liga. He has done everything he can to stay at Barcelona, and Messi seems unsure as to whether or not President Laporte has also gone all out. Messi's implication is clearly to suggest that Laporte did not show enough respect for himself and did not do his best to keep him.
Laporte had seen his promise to stay for Messi as a bargaining chip to win hearts and minds, and swore to do so many times before running for Barcelona's presidency. However, after his election he failed to fulfill his promise. This behavior has left many of Messi's fans, including Messi himself, deeply disappointed in Laporte. Will Laporte still be able to maintain his composure in the venue and face this hint from Messi? It makes one ponder.
