On the evening of September 4, Messi announced that he would stay at Barcelona. Messi's good deeds have caused the Spanish media to be "blind-cast" with many different scenarios. At this point, fans may understand partly the reason why M10 decided to do so.
Not good at walking...
Barcelona are trying every way to get rid of Messi with a breach of contract clause of up to 700 million euros. The M10 side is trying every way to turn the flag, thereby being able to leave in peace.
When they could not find a common voice, Messi and Barca must definitely resolve the conflict in court. At that time, the victory was uncertain to favor the 33-year-old superstar.
Unlike the image in the imagination of Barca fans, when Messi will pass away under the most brilliant Luzon, now the 33-year-old superstar can leave Nou Camp quietly and end his nearly 20-year relationship with the "Giants" in court.
A symbolic image built over the past 2 decades of loyalty, love and dedication can be eroded by the developments in the past 2 weeks. Will Messi dare to leave the place that gave him everything, from money to the position of a god living in the hearts of Catalan people?
saying goodbye in the cries and possibly suffering from hatred from those who have devoted their hearts to loving, Messi must have thought about this prospect.
... not finished
Spanish media predict that if he stays for another year before leaving on a free transfer, Messi will definitely not wear the captain's armband anymore. This has been decided by coach Ronald Koeman, and that honor will be given to those who are more loyal at the present time, the brightest at the moment is goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
Messi is the soul of the game, the vitality, the breath of Barcelona, but now, having to play in a state of being deprived of "fighting", how will M10 play with the mentality? In another development, will he accept the "no longer special" identity that Koeman has discussed over the phone? At that time, will Messi play or sit on the bench until the end of the season and say goodbye?
Will Messi face crowds who will shout his name as a traitor, like Rivaldo warned? The family does not turn their backs on Messi but the family is not by his side every time he plays, that is millions of Catalan people. They prayed, worried Messi would leave, cried behind the gate of Nou Camp to prepare for that prospect.
But then Messi stayed, as a joke. At that time, the "saint" in Barcelona's heart transformed into a superficial actor?
