LAPORTA'S CLEAR ANSWER TO THE MESSI CALL: LIFE CHANGES

Barcelona Club President Joan Laporta made very clear and striking statements regarding the possibility of the Argentine world star Lionel Messi returning to the Catalan team. A senior official, who took the floor at a widely attended meeting held within the club, made a highly emotional and remarkable call to president Laporta. The official appreciated the management of the process of Messi's departure from the team but clearly expressed that they wanted to see the legendary player at his home, on that big pitch again. Addressing President Laporta directly, the club member stated that if he picked up the phone and called him, Messi would return immediately and asked the president to make this historical call soon. He also added that this possible transfer would increase the club's financial revenues to a very great extent. Despite all this intense emotional pressure and economic justifications, Joan Laporta approached the situation with great realism and gave a highly rational response to this historical call. President Laporta stated with precise language that everything in football and life developed and changed rapidly, and nothing remained static. Stating that Lionel Messi was the best player in the world and would always be remembered respectfully as one of the best in football history, Laporta showed his loyalty to the Argentine star once again. However, the successful sportsman immediately turned the route to the current young talents of the team in the continuation of his words. Emphasizing that life changed constantly, Laporta expressed his great satisfaction with the current situation of the club. The president clearly stated that they were very happy to have young stars with massive worldwide potential like Lamine Yamal. These clear words of Laporta were interpreted in the Spanish and world sports press as Barcelona completely closed the Messi notebook and built the future of the team on the young star Lamine Yamal. While the Catalan giant felt great pride in its legendary past, it fixed its eyes completely on its bright future full of new successes.
