Se fosse pra falar só sobre coisa ruim, eu faria um jornal; pra falar só coisa útil, eu faria um artigo científico. Eu tenho conta no Twitter é pra falar merda.
It takes incomprehensible superhuman strength to go and play in a world cup and quite literally carry an entire team and nation on your back to yet another final at the age of 39 while your father is terminally ill. All while some mentally deranged and flat out evil people on social media are comparing you to a genocidal maniac.
Lionel Andres Messi Cucittini, you are stronger than all of us put together. You represent a beacon of hope not just for football but for humanity in general.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you've done for me, for us fans, and for the sport.
Te amo Leo. ❤️❤️❤️
Por favor, voltem a ler. Voltem. Se um livro for difícil, comprem gibis. Mas voltem a ler e exercitem o pensamento crítico, a ponderação, a interpretação. Tá todo mundo emburrecendo coletivamente.

“Não sei o que vou fazer sem você. Não sei como seguir.
Eu só jogava futebol e, agora, tenho muitas dúvidas de que vá continuar fazendo isso por muito mais tempo.”
❤️🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.
“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.
“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.
“After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was”.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games”.
“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t”.
“My legs just couldn’t give me any more”.
“This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t”.
“I never managed to feel physically right”.
“We didn’t become champions Dad, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it… as you told me, always”.
