Leandro Paredes27-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, spoke for T&C Sports on the arrival of Lionel Messi, 34-year-old striker in the capital. The least we can say is that events happened very quickly, and even Paredeswho saw The Money during this period did not immediately believe his friend when he said he was going to sign for PSG.
Paredes « We had seen him in Ibiza the day before, and he was leaving the next day to sign with his club.
“We had seen him in Ibiza the day before, and he was leaving the next day to sign with his club, that was all. We still told him “Come with us” but he told us “I have already arranged everything, tomorrow I will travel to sign”. Afterwards, I don’t know what happened during this trip to Barcelona, because the very evening he was going to sign the contract, he told us that he was coming here. At first, we obviously didn’t believe him. When he told me that he had already arranged everything and that he was going to Paris to sign the contract, I told him “I won’t believe you until you sign and I see you with the Paris Saint-Germain jersey. »
Like what the adage that says that in football, everything can go very quickly checked one more time. It’s always very interesting to know behind the scenes of football, the little anecdotes. It also shows that Messi didn’t really have time to prepare. It must have been the roller coaster in his head. One day, he is persuaded to extend his life in the club, the next day, he is on his way to Paris with a final challenge at the highest level.
His whole family had to change their lives, he had to adapt to a new team, a new mentality. He who has always been protected at FC Barcelona, he had to start all over again, even if his career allows him to arrive as a unique reference in football. He may be the best, but the circumstances of his arrival did not help him. It’s also fun to see Paredes not to take Messi’s word for it, it seems impossible. But in football, everything is possible and today, Messi will end his first season in halftone in the French capital.
