In the early morning of April 13, Beijing time, reports from the French media Rmc Sport, before last weekend's 6-1 victory over Clermont by Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, the superstar Messi, who played for Greater Paris, took the initiative to take a group photo and hugged a small clermont fan with Down syndrome.
It is reported that although the young fan named Tom is a fan of the Clermont team, he has always regarded Messi as his idol, and Tom is unfortunately suffering from Down syndrome. Before the match against Paris, Clermont President Shafer took the initiative to contact the Paris club if he could do anything for the little fan of Messi, and Dominique Vogt, who was in charge of social activities at the Paris club, immediately contacted Messi to arrange this warm meeting.
At that time, the bus from Paris had just arrived at the stadium, and Messi hugged Tom as soon as he got off the bus and took a photo with him. Messi stayed with Tom for a long time, listening to Tom say a lot about football and wishing him all the best.
Messi's move has also triggered praise from netizens: "This is the attitude of Messi and the team towards fans and children who love football!" "Be humble!" Only when someone respects it, only then does it deserve the respect of others! "I like Messi, not just because of his skills, but also for his character!" "C Ronaldo really should have seen Messi's approach!" This is the right way to treat your opponent's fans! ”
Previously, after Manchester United's 1-0 loss to Everton, C Ronaldo slapped the mobile phone of a small Everton fan with autism when he left the field, which also caused a lot of controversy. Although C Ronaldo publicly apologized on social accounts for the first time, there was no further action afterwards, which also triggered strong dissatisfaction from the mother of the attacked small fans. As the "absolute double pride" in football, Messi and C Ronaldo's completely different behaviors for opponent fans at almost the same time are naturally easy to be compared by netizens.
