Today is May 1, International Workers' Day. Seventeen years ago today (1 May 2005), in the 34th round of the 2004/05 La Liga season, Barca vs Albacete, the 17-year-old Messi came off the bench and scored the first goal of Barca's career with a pass from Luo Miao. The scene where Messi rode on Luo Xiaoluo to celebrate has become one of the classic pictures of Messi's football career.
However, Xiao Luo is Brazilian after all, and the living habits of the two are also very different (Xiao Luo is very debauched, Messi is particularly disciplined). Messi's closest player is his former national team teammate Aguero. In the current Argentine squad, Messi's closest national team teammate is Di Maria, and the two have not only repeatedly scored goals in key matches, but also played for Paris Grande this season.
A few days ago, Di Maria celebrated the birthday of her eldest daughter Mia, and the Messi family was of course invited. When Di Maria and her baby daughter took a group photo in front of the lamppost of "9", Messi and his wife Antonella came to the party with their three sons, Messi smiled, Antonella hugged Mia, and Messi hugged the angel. Messi's eldest sons, Thiago and Mia, both 9 years old, had a great time. Mia is significantly taller than Thiago — perhaps genetically linked to her father.'s.
Because Paris was eliminated by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Messi lost a penalty in the first leg, and Messi has only scored 4 goals in Ligue 1 this season, so many French media and fans have criticized Messi, and the most prominent criticism is that "this season's performance is inconsistent with the identity of May's seventh".
At the crucial moment, it was still Argentine compatriot and Paris coach Pochettino who stepped forward. When talking about Messi in an interview with "Europe1" a few days ago, The Boss said that Messi is a player of the same level as Maradona, and it is unfair for the outside world to only evaluate his performance this season. "You can't talk about Messi in that way. Like I don't mention Maradona in that tone. I never question a great player. ”
In the eyes of the Boss, Messi has not reached the level of Barca because he needs to go through a period of adaptation. Bo Shuai even retained messi's habit of playing all over the field, which is actually an attitude and high respect for Messi. 'Next season may be a completely different season for him. This is Pochettino's outlook and naturally the expectation of fans all over the world who like Messi.
