Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi has come full circle by winning the World Cup in Qatar. Apart from winning the titles of three eras of Argentina, this football superstar has also settled the biggest regret of his career. However, he did not have to listen to bad words until the moment of holding the golden trophy. Even in his own country, Argentina, there was a lot of criticism about him.

After vacationing in the Caribbean island of Bahamas, Lionel Messi, the world-winning Argentine captain, set foot in South Florida in the United States. In a couple of days, he could complete a formal contract with Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami there. After that, the former PSG forward will attend the club's colorful reception next Sunday (July 16).

She was spotted getting off a plane with her family at Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida on Tuesday (July 11). On June 8, Messi announced his move to Miami after disappointing Barcelona and Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. Much to everyone's surprise, he decided to go to the soccer club.

Upon arriving in Miami, he told an Argentine TV channel about his thoughts about his future club. He also talked about being the target of people's criticism before winning the World Cup for Argentina. Remembering the trophy-free days, Messi said, "The truth is that those times were very difficult. When I lived in Barcelona, it was a great time. Because back then I used to win great matches, do well, listen to praises and enjoy the games. But when I stepped on the soil of Argentina from Barca, I had to hear all kinds of bad things. People used to argue and criticize me. Because I was always evaluated based on a result.'

He also said, 'Fortunately I was doing well at the club level. When something went wrong while playing for the national team, I went to Barcelona. I tried to forget how bad we were doing for the national team.

Messi said, "I heard a lot of criticism, but there was more nonsense. People talked about the outdoors more than football. Which would have exceeded the limits of disrespect. These were not good at all. Even the family had to listen to this. They also suffered a lot. They stayed in the country and tolerated everything. I went through a very difficult time.
