Ten years is undoubtedly a very long time in a person's short life.

Over the past decade, Messi's trajectory in this rainy Mediterranean port city has always been inseparable from these three places, from home to training base, from training base to Camp Nou.

He doesn't like the nightlife like the Brazilian players, nor does he chase the fashion life and taste like Pique, he likes to keep a low profile, like to nest in his own home, live a little bit of his own life, a simpler life.

Of course, he will also indulge, and it is outrageous to indulge, but that is too rare for him, because in his bones, he is a person with an inferiority complex, although he seems very confident now, and he can even openly discuss his past inferiority complex in the media, but in fact, this emotion has always affected him, and may be with him for the rest of his life.

From the Camp Nou to La Masia's training camp, along this shaded road, through a barbed wire, looking at La Masia inside, Messi seems to have returned to the scene ten years ago, when he was also standing in his current position, across this barbed wire, looking at the training of players in the barbed wire.

Pique, Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta...... They were all here at the time, a group of imps playing with interest, looking at the new short, under the eyes of each other, Messi's instinctive reaction was to lower his head, ashamed of himself.

Coming from Argentina, which had been devastated after the economic collapse, he had dreamed of playing since he was a child in a better place than where his peers trained. The facilities are much, much worse, and this group of peers looks much more confident than him, and their health is better than him. This made him a little scared and did not dare to step into the barbed wire.

Although Barcelona's training base has now moved to the San Juan de Spi district in the west of the city, where a five-star luxury training base has been established, Messi still comes here from time to time because of his memories.

He was 13 years old that year, only 1.4 meters tall, and was diagnosed with a developmental hormone deficiency at the age of 11. It would directly hinder the growth of bones, so his father took him away from his hometown to Barcelona, Spain, for help.

Lexage did not bring much glory to Barcelona, but he did bring Barcelona the biggest contribution in the last decade, that is, he retained Messi, who came to Spain for medical treatment at the time, and the player has now become one of the world's best superstars.

But unfortunately, in a few months, Messi, this name will no longer belong to Barcelona from now on!

Messi stood outside the barbed wire, silently looking inside the barbed wire. Wait a minute, a bunch of kids will come here to play soccer training. They are all the future of Barcelona, and maybe there will be a second Messi in that group of children, and every child is full of affection for this club. Filled with love.

Once, Messi, like them, simply hoped to play for Barcelona for the rest of his life. At that time, his wish was simple, as long as he had a salary to support himself and his family, he was willing to fight for Barcelona for the rest of his life until he retired.

But with the accumulation of time, with the maturity of temperament, the innocence of youth and ignorance in the past gradually faded, and was replaced by a mature reality. He is well aware that professional football is all about being realistic. Only reality can protect yourself, protect your family, and protect your future in the cruel world of professional football.

Nowadays, he no longer makes a promise of loyalty to any club or anyone in his heart as easily as he did in the past, because he knows that in professional football, there are many times when loyalty is not a virtue, on the contrary, loyalty can become a stumbling block. …,

He was willing to stay in Barcelona, but that was when Barcelona didn't need him to leave!

Barcelona needs him to go now, and if he wants to have a better future, he also needs to go, so he didn't hesitate much, he chose to leave, but this does not mean that his heart is not grateful to Barcelona, on the contrary, his feelings for this club will not change!

He also knows that it's easy to say, but hard to do!

When they learn that he has left Barcelona and switched to Real Madrid, Barcelona fans will go crazy, they will treat him as a traitor, wanton humiliation and swearing, and he will not be able to tell what to do, but choose to bear it, and then prove his feelings for this club in his own way.

It's like Batistuta's feelings for Florence, one day, they'll understand!

Thinking of this, Messi's hand holding the barbed wire was a little painful, let go and looked, and found a strangulation mark, red and red, which made him smile bitterly, and then took a deep look at La Masia, turned around and walked towards the Camp Nou.

Just this morning, Club Director Si Russell personally called Messi's father, informing the latter that the Club had reached a secret agreement with Real Madrid, hoping that Jorge would find time to go to Madrid to discuss Messi's contract with Real Madrid, and the transfer will take place after the summer transfer market opens on July 1.

The exact time of the alliance will be determined by Real Madrid!

Messi had been mentally prepared, but when he received a notice from his father, he was still stunned, and the whole morning training session seemed very depressed and boring, and Vilanova also seemed to have received the news and gave him an afternoon of vacation to let him adjust well.

After wearing the Barcelona jersey for ten years, he hated Real Madrid for ten years, but suddenly one day, he wanted to wear the Real Madrid jersey to fight against Barcelona, which made Messi have a kind of trance illusion, as if they were two completely different lives.

"Why are you here?" Someone in front called him.

Messi, who lowered his head, raised his head and found that it was Iniesta, also dressed in casual clothes, and then looked at himself, and smiled bitterly for no reason, "Just like you, on vacation!" ”

In a word, both of them tacitly agreed!

"Weird feeling, isn't it?" The two strolled down the street, and Iniesta said with a wry smile.

Messi was expressionless. Looking ahead with a bit of dementia, "I'll take it!" ”

'We're all professionals and playing football is just a job for us. A career! Iniesta suddenly turned his head sideways to look at Messi, "I thought you had seen it very badly, but I didn't expect ......"

At the beginning, Messi renewed his contract in order to raise his salary, and he also had a lot of trouble with the club, and Jorge even slapped the table with Laporta, so many people think that Messi is a very professional player. Also loyal to Barcelona, but not yet loyal enough to do without everything.

"After all, here, in this city, I've been wearing the Barcelona jersey for 10 years!" Messi raised his head and looked at the buildings on the side of the road, the style was very familiar, because he knew everything about the city very well, after all, he had been looking at it for ten years.

Even. The city gave him a feeling that. He's grown up here!

"Like you, I came to Barcelona when I was 13 years old, but before that. I almost went to Real Madrid! Iniesta said with a smile, but there was not much happiness in his smile, "I didn't expect to go around in circles." Back to square one, I'm back to Real Madrid! ”
