A few days ago, the outside world speculated about the next stop of his career after Messi left Ligue 1 Grand Paris, and finally the water came out and the dust settled.
Messi chose to go to Major League Leagues, and Internacional Miami emerged as the final winner.
The old club Barca, which has been rumored before, and the Riyadh Crescent of the Saudi League, one with affection, the other with money, failed to impress Messi in the end.
This can't help but make fans around the world wonder, what did Messi choose to go to the MLS for?
Choosing to play in the MLS means that Messi will never return to the mainstream league of world football. It is basically equivalent to having decided to retire from football and completely fade out of the football circle.
Instead of this, Messi should choose to turn back, stay in his old club Barca, in the center of world football, continue to write his own legend, and achieve a century of myths.
Or, for money, go to Saudi Arabia. After all, Riyadh Crescent's three-year salary offer of 1.5 billion euros is a temptation that few players can refuse.
However, Messi refused.
The explanation given by the outside world for Messi's choice is: Messi went to Miami for the sake of family and children.
Messi is a good family man, worried that his family will not adapt to the hot and dry desert climate of West Asia.
Miami was chosen because the environment there is relatively close to Barça, and Messi has his own pre-purchased property in Miami, which is more convenient and trouble-free to live in.
Everything sounds reasonable. But is that really the case? Not necessarily.
Any competitive sport is brutal. The level of competition is the only criterion for maintaining voice and competitiveness. The same is true for former superstars like Messi and Ronaldo.
With the decline of competitive form, Ronaldo was questioned, ridiculed and ostracized at Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United, and chose to leave Saudi Arabia after being discouraged. At least in Riyadh, he can still get the world's highest salary.
The same is true of Messi, who had no choice but to move to Ligue 1 PSG after his old club Barca were deceived. In Paris, Messi is not happy, not only frequently met with boos from the audience, but the limelight is far from catching up with new favorites Mbappe and Neymar. Choosing to leave when the contract expires is also a last resort.
If the painful experience of people walking tea and cold makes Messi choose to refuse his old club Barca, it is understandable. But rejecting the reasonable lure of high salaries in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Messi's approach is obviously abnormal, and there must be something else.
There is only one reason I can think of.
That is, in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Argentina was defeated 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in the first round of the group stage, leaving Argentina with no way back in the following matches.
Although Argentina won the World Cup in the end and Messi also won the Ballon d'Or, 5 penalties in 7 games also created the history of the World Cup, making Messi and Argentina full of doubts and criticism. Fans even suspected that FIFA was operating in the dark, and there was an insider and black hand escort to win the title.
The reason is that the Saudi team caused the "tragedy" of the Argentine team in the first game of the group stage, which made the Argentine team in a passive situation from the beginning of the group stage.
Messi was booed in Paris, and he couldn't guarantee that after coming to Saudi Arabia, the same scene that haunted him would not be repeated. If there really is such a boo scene in the audience, Messi will not be happy even if he has the world's highest salary.
What's more, with former Real Madrid sworn enemies such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, receiving such embarrassing treatment, Messi's heart will be even more uncomfortable.
Ronaldo and Benzema will not have such a psychological burden, they can enjoy the game while enjoying the high salary, watching Messi's jokes, and happily retire in the Saudi league.
Messi can't do it, so he can only refuse the Saudi United

Sai, choose the MLS where the environment is more relaxed for him.
The beautiful fantasy of three Golden Globe winners gathering in Saudi Arabia is ultimately just a dream.
