In the past two days, messi's departure from the team has been boiling, and it seems that the dust has settled at present, but where Messi goes is not a fixed number. I believe that many people have seen the reason why Messi left the team: that is, Barca are too poor and have no money! There are also some important reasons for the game between La Liga, Barca and the European Super League.
So today, I want to talk about Messi from another angle, first of all, we have to introduce a person.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Jorge-Messi</h1>
Whether it is the storm in which Messi faxed the club to leave the team last year, or the storm in which Messi did not succeed in renewing his contract this year, we all saw a busy figure entering and leaving the Barca office, he is Messi's father - Jorge Messi.
Jorge Messi is Messi's father and Messi's agent. He was once the head of a metal factory in Rosario, but he is now the equivalent of CEO of the Messi family business, which generates more than €150 million a year – including Messi's salary at Barcelona, business partnerships related to Messi, real estate investments, and a wide variety of other business interests.
As Messi's father, I believe that he must have given 100% to Messi and did not want Messi to suffer. But, whether it's at the legal level or the economic level, or even the political means level, I don't think he is particularly professional.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Messi's debt crisis</h1>
Since Messi joined Barca, his performance has become more and more outstanding, his position at Barca has become more and more stable, and his salary has risen all the way to become one of the highest paid people in the world. But at the same time, he did not look for a professional economic team to help him take care of the relevant problems, but let his father take care of it, so he buried the hidden danger.
One of the most obvious things is that in 2013 Messi was caught in a very serious tax storm. At that time, Europe was affected by the debt crisis and began to censor high-income people, including Messi. In 2013, the Spanish tax authorities took Messi and Jorge to court on charges of tax evasion.
Spanish courts found that Messi had hidden nearly €10.1 million in portrait income through overseas shell companies between 2007 and 2009, committing three crimes in the tax sector and evading taxes amounting to €4.1 million. Although in court, Messi defended himself as not knowing, "I just play football." I trusted my father and the lawyers we entrusted with handling these matters. But this statement was not accepted by the judge in the end. This also put Messi's father and son in a crisis of going to jail.
A person with close ties to Barca once said: "I don't think they are the smartest people in the world, Messi is the best player in the history of football, but he has never had the best agent or the most professional people to work for him." In this regard, you need a manager, a social media executive, a finance manager, an investment manager. ”
In fact, there are not a few players who have also been involved in tax turmoil, such as Beckham and C Ronaldo, but they can change a more powerful team to help themselves through the difficulties, but Messi can't change a dad.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > a struggle with politicians</h1>
The history and heritage of the city of Catalonia are destined to make the Barça club unable to escape politics. For politicians such as Bartomeu and La Porta, Barça is nothing more than a tool to grab fame and fortune; every Barça presidential election is no less than the US presidential election, the politicians on stage perform, the people offstage vote, to see whose performance can most "deceive" the audience.
Laporta is a clever and cunning man, which is why he can sit in the barca presidency for the second time. In 2003 he won the vote with a promise to "bring David Beckham to Barca", but David Beckham turned around and went to Real Madrid. However, at that time, Luo's arrival covered up his lies and made fans forget Laporta's declaration at that time.
This year, Laporta once again won the vote with promises like "keep Messi", but just five months after he took office, he kicked Messi away.
Perhaps neither Jorge Messi nor Messi himself could have imagined that such a brazen liar would turn his face directly when he had already promised a 50% salary cut and had 2 hours left before the renewal ceremony began. Why la Porta is a liar, because in the 2021/22 season, Messi worked for Barca for free, and he could not solve Barca's financial crisis, and new signings still could not register.
Maybe Laporta has long decided to get rid of Messi, the so-called 50% salary cut is Barca casually said, but they did not expect that the kind Messi really agreed. And Messi's father and son did not expect that at this juncture, such a thing would happen.
Here I will say why a professional team is needed, professionals can at least know when to compromise, the part of the persistence, how to minimize the loss. They are more familiar with the laws and regulations, they know more about industry policies, and if there was a professional around Messi to help him with the analysis, he would have told him a long time ago: Barca is very unlikely to keep you. Instead of making Messi so passive as the season gets about to start.
But Messi's dad didn't do that, maybe he did a lot of work behind his back, but on the surface, all he did was fly to Barcelona and let Barca take Messi away. Therefore, professional things should be done by professional people, out of society, not to mention the professional sports field, who will tell you about simplicity? You need a high-quality, high-quality professional agent, as well as a legal team, otherwise there will be a second or even a third time in the pit incident.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > family-run workshop</h1>
Not only Messi, but also many stars, players, have adopted family-style teams, and it turns out that this is not desirable. For example, Sun Yang's mother, Xiao Luo's brother, and even Wu Yifan's mother in the entertainment industry. Xiao Luo used his brother as an agent, some time ago Xiao Luo faked a passport to go to Uruguay, it was arranged by his brother, and he turned the ball king into a prisoner king. Moreover, his brother took Xiao Luo's money and invested everywhere, losing a mess.
A more obvious example is Sun Yang: Sun Yang's various affairs have always been taken care of by his mother, and the result is that Sun Yang was banned for 8 years (later changed to 4 years and 3 months). From helping Sun Yang resist the inspection to talking to himself in court and even threatening witnesses, disrupting the order of the court, Sun Yang's mother played a very negative role, and this is also an important reason why Sun Yang was banned for eight years. Moreover, his mother also successfully brought Sun Yang badly, and in court, Sun Yang talked to himself, did not follow the procedures for questioning, and changed the translation without asking for instructions, and a series of practices that did not follow the rules were even more copies of his mother's.
Therefore, in the Sun Yang case, the arbitrator commented on Sun Yang's team in a post-trial interview: "Sun Yang's team completely tied the career of a world's top athlete to subjective understanding, which is simply unbelievable."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > concluding remarks</h1>
Then we all know that the professional agency team will also have a very expensive commission, such as Raiola's signing fee and even make it difficult for some clubs to sign the players they want. This may also be the reason why many players let family members help take care of it, after all, the fat water does not flow to outsiders, and the money must be earned for their own people, but the result must also be borne by themselves.
Finally, no matter where Messi goes, he is a shining man in the history of football, his departure is a huge loss for Barca and La Liga, I hope he has a good future!
