"Leo."

Dressed in a suit and a light blue tie, Carlos Bilardo walked into the pitch and came to Messi's side.

The Argentine superstar had stopped crying by this time, but he was still sitting on the grass, holding his head.

He had no shame in facing the Argentine fans in the stands, nor in the face of the people of his homeland who had high hopes for him and the team.

He was ashamed and embarrassed.

"The organising committee just informed me that they have decided to select you as the best player in this year's Copa America so that you can get ready."

Copa America Player of the Year?

That's the best player in the tournament!

"Am I?" Messi raised his head and looked at the former Argentine coach in front of him, and now the national team leader.

"Of course, there is no doubt about it!" Bilardo nodded without hesitation.

To say that this Copa America, although Messi's performance is not at its peak, it is certainly a pretty good member.

Strictly speaking, Messi was dragged down by Argentina.

Don't look at the current team's offensive talent, but there is a serious shortage of people in the midfield, which directly leads to Messi being a midfield organizer and going to the front to participate in the attack, which is too tiring and hard.

The decision to bring in Pastore was the result of discussions between the coaching staff and the football team, but it now seems that the decision was not wise.

At least the Copa America has proved more than once that instead of liberating Messi, Pastore has dragged Messi back.

But even so, Messi still dragged Argentina all the way to the final.

Two years and two major runners-up, this blow is not big enough.

Bilardo even has some doubts about whether Messi can still withstand it.

Perhaps, the best player of the tournament is a good consolation.

However, he saw Messi shake his head and stand up from the grass, "Carlos, please tell them, I don't want it, choose someone else!" ”

"Why?" Bilardo frowned.

Who else will refuse the award for the best player of the tournament?

"It's more of a shame for me!" After saying that, Messi turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.

Judging by his appearance, he probably didn't even plan to attend the award ceremony after the game.

Bilardo crossed his hands on his hips, looked at Messi's depressed and lonely back, and sighed deeply.

He can vaguely guess something, because in the World Cup in Brazil last year, after Argentina lost the final, Messi received the best player of the tournament, but he was attacked by the Argentine media and fans, and some people even ridiculed and ridiculed him for only caring about personal interests and ignoring national honor.

Now, another tragic runner-up and an embarrassing player of the tournament, he chose to decline.

But does it work?

Bilardo thinks it's useless, because even if you refuse, the people who want to accuse you will still accuse you.

However, Messi refused to accept the best player award, and the organizers must have a headache, so they still have to think about how to communicate.

While Bilardo was agonizing over how to explain Messi's refusal to accept the best player to the organizers, Messi walked into the dressing room alone, sat in front of his cabinet, and stared blankly ahead.

There was nothing there, but he was fascinated.

I took out my phone from the back closet, and there weren't many apps on it, just two pages in total.

He's like that, turning pages back and forth left and right, and it's boring.

He wanted someone to talk to, but he didn't know who to turn to.

He thought of his wife, who was in the stands now, he thought of his team-mate in Barcelona, but was it appropriate?

Including Pique, many Barcelona teammates are not satisfied with his decision to leave the team that cultivated him, and there is some estrangement between them, is it appropriate to contact them at this time?

He also thought of his upcoming Southampton team-mates, such as Cesc Fabregas, his best friend.

But he didn't think it was the right decision to bother Sesk now.

He even thought of Pep Guardiola, who had a good relationship recently and had coffee together not long ago, but ......

Many times, many things, once broken, are difficult to be as good as they were before.

Even if he still respects Guardiola so much and is still very convinced of Guardiola, he has to admit that there is no way to be as close as before.

He thought of many people, but in the end, he was sad to find that he didn't even have a friend to share his thoughts with.

He sadly found that at this moment, in this unoccupied locker room, he seemed to be forgotten by the world.

Even if he is Messi, there will be lonely times!

The movement of the award ceremony began to be heard outside, did they all put it down?

He opened WeChat, and as usual, no one left him a message.

Messi doesn't like to talk about WeChat or play Weibo, because he feels that this kind of social tool does not have the temperature that communication between people should have, and he has no feeling at all.

The same sentence, hit the mobile phone screen, send it in the voice, or even appear in the video, you can't grasp the other party's psychology and accurately guess the other party's meaning.

That's boring, isn't it?

But this does not mean that Messi can't play, on the contrary, he often plays, every day, but he just doesn't show up.

I saw a red dot in the circle of friends, clicked in, and found that someone had updated.

A person named Young Master Huan posted a photo in the circle of friends, which was taken from the side stands, Messi's appearance of hugging his head and crying on the field is very clear, surrounded by a piece of green grass, but it gives people a feeling of loneliness.

"Don't always think about being alone to save the world, that won't make you great, it will only make you lonely and hurt!"

"Look behind you, your teammates, your friends, right there!"

I don't know why, when I saw this sentence, Messi suddenly felt a touch in his heart.

Master Huan?

Oh, he remembered, isn't that the boss of Southampton?

I met a few times before when I was in Barcelona, and I also added WeChat to each other.

From the point of view of the photo, it looks like he is in the stands, is he coming to San Diego?

Is it specifically for this game?

Messi clicked on the reply in the circle of friends, and lightly typed a sentence, "Good chicken soup for the soul, Young Master Huan!" ”

Soon, Young Master Huan replied, "It's very nourishing, isn't it?" It has been officially included in the chicken soup chapter of Young Master Huan's quotations, and when I found the publishing house, I will release it, and ensure that it sells well all over the world, and the manuscript fee is soft! ”

Messi couldn't help but wonder when he saw it, this young master Huan was talking on WeChat, and he was still as funny as in reality.

"Is Young Master Huan in San Diego?"

"Mm-hmm, would you be interested in having a cup of coffee together?"

If it were in normal times, it would be impossible for the well-behaved Messi to agree, because it violated the rules of the national team.

But now, he actually wants to have a friend who can talk to him.

"Okay!"

"Okay, see you at the door!"

…………

…………

Argentina's tragic two-year loss of two major tournament titles immediately caused lament among Argentine fans around the world.

But at the same time, Messi's refusal to accept the best player of the tournament has also attracted the attention of the media and fans.

The reaction of the media and fans to this move of the Argentine superstar can be described as polarized, some people bombarded and some people understood.

Just like when he received the World Cup Player of the Year award last year.

To receive it or not to receive it is a question!

It is worth mentioning that after the game, there were media reports that Messi chose to leave the National Stadium early and did not join the national team, which caused dissatisfaction among many fans, who thought that Messi's behavior after the team's defeat was very irresponsible.

However, Martino, the head coach of the Argentine national team, expressed his understanding in an interview with the media, thinking that Messi was more sad than anyone else after losing the Copa America, so he could understand Messi's misbehavior.

The leader of the Argentine national team, Bilardo, took the initiative to defend it, saying that Messi had communicated with him, and also hoped that fans and media could give Messi more protection and freedom.

But just as the Copa America came to an end and the club began to enter the summer preparation stage, the European media once again broke the news.

The popular British anchor Charlene Lahri publicly broke the news on the sidelines of the self-media program that Barcelona superstar Messi has signed with Southampton, but the transfer fee is not 200 million euros as rumored by the outside world, but 150 million euros.

In the show, Charlene Lahri said that Messi's idea of leaving Barcelona was not sudden, and Messi had already had the idea of leaving Spain when Spain launched a tax investigation against Messi before.

But what really confirmed Messi's departure was the attitude of the Barcelona management.

With the addition of Neymar and his performance getting better and better, Messi's role in the team has gradually been diluted.

As a replacement between the old and the new, Neymar is gradually replacing Messi as the star of Barcelona, and selling Messi to get a good amount of cash and rebuild a competitive team has also become a big option on the management table.

Cristiano Ronaldo's determination to leave Real Madrid made Barcelona realize that selling Messi was no longer a problem, especially when sponsors said that Messi's departure would not affect the team's sponsorship contract.

Charlene Lahri revealed on the show that Messi's transfer to Southampton was basically finalized a few months ago, but the two sides maintained a tacit understanding and did not release any clues to the public.

In the show, Charlene Lahri also said that Cristiano Ronaldo joined Tottenham Hotspur in north London, and Messi moved to Southampton in south London, and these two superstars gathered in the Premier League at the same time, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the highlights of the Premier League.

With Charlene Lahri's revelations, the world's media have paid attention to Messi's transfer.

The current lineup of the Saints is luxurious enough, if there is another Messi, wouldn't it be a star-studded group?

At that time, who will be able to stop the saints?

For a while, the media and fans around the world were crazy to follow the Saints' every move.

In the midst of this trend, the newly appointed Saints coach Carlo Ancelotti led the team to the Chinese training camp in a low-key manner, focusing on preparing for the new season, and then will go to the United States to participate in the North American division of the International Champions Cup.

But in the only interview with the Chinese media, Ancelotti talked about Messi, saying that Messi is a superstar that all managers around the world dream of, a phenomenal player that no team can refuse.

This was also understood by the media and fans as a gesture of goodwill to Messi.

The media was apparently not happy with the statement and rushed to Southampton and Barcelona, but both teams remained silent, refusing to be interviewed or commenting on the public.

However, the British Sun soon revealed a shocking news, their reporter found the trace of Messi's father in a high-end residential area on the south bank of the Tester River in Southampton, and dug up the news that Jorge Messi had found a mansion in Southampton.

That's what excites the fans.

Even the house has been bought, isn't it the rhythm of the transfer?

Southampton fans are even more excited and looking forward to it, because Messi is really coming!
