Buenos Aires – Argentine President, Alberto Fernandez, said that Lionel Messi should play on his country’s soil if he was not going to end his Barcelona career, calling for his return to wear the Newell’s Old Boys shirt, in which he started his career.
Fernandes said: “You are in all our hearts and we have never seen you play on our land, so give us the pleasure of seeing you play here, in Newell’s, your club,” stressing that it would be his recommendation to Messi if he could talk to him about his departure from Barca.
“If Messi does not end his career in Barcelona, he must end it in Newell’s,” the Argentine president added in statements to local television. Just like Bielsa. ”
Previously, he joked: “Messi should play with Argentinos (the club the president encourages). I asked how is the situation to see if we could bring it. ”
And Fernandez stressed that “Messi formed part of a unique team in the history of world football,” referring to the group in which the Argentine star was under the leadership of Pep Guardiola in Barcelona.
Fernandes was forced to choose between Diego Maradona and Messi, explaining that “Maradona’s great advantage is that he was alone against the world. I have never seen a player like Maradona. I have a deep admiration for him, frankly more than I liked Messi because he grew up with Argentinos, but also because I saw him play alone against the world. He was like a wrestler, with incredible power. ” (Effie)
