In the courtyard, Messi sat on a stone pier, watching his youngest son Mateo play, while he himself stared ahead in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, his wife Antonella came over, she saw Messi's state, and couldn't help but step forward and handed over the yerba mate she had just bought, this tea is quite popular with South American footballers, and Messi is a fanatical lover, almost to the extent that he can't leave his hand.

Looking at the yerba mate handed over by his wife, Messi came back to his senses, took the yerba mate, held it in his hand, but did not drink it, but continued to be in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Antonella couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "Perhaps, I can be a good listener or not?" ”

Hearing this, Messi turned his head and looked at the concerned expression of his childhood sweetheart's wife, his heart warmed, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.

As a life partner, Antonella clearly understands what Messi is struggling with.

Due to Barcelona's series of disappointing transfer operations, Messi has been angry, and the forbearance again and again is not for change, but for indulgence.

These two seasons were unacceptable for Barcelona, especially in 2017-2018, when they did not have a result, which was an insult to the Camp Nou.

Messi wants to win, but he finds that when he can't win alone, there will inevitably be various gaps in his heart.

In fact, he is no longer the extraordinary teenager he once was, even with good football skills, it is undeniable that he has entered the stage of Barcelona's aging.

Messi is well aware that what Barcelona need now is fresh energy.

A strong teammate who can run, a strong teammate who can hold the ball in midfield.

And this teammate, Messi thinks it's Yile!

In order to promote the transfer of Yile, Messi almost pressed together, and even did not hesitate to renew his beloved Barcelona contract in order to threaten the top management.

At the time, Messi made this decision a little hastily, but now that things have fermented, neither Messi nor Bartomeu can step down.

This requires a concession from one side or the club being able to bring in Yile.

Looking at Messi with a complicated expression, Antonella asked: "So, are you really going to leave Barcelona?" ”

Messi pursed his lips and shook his head slowly, signaling that he didn't know.

This answer surprised Antonella, you know, Messi was very resistant to transfers in the past, and even lost his temper, he thought that he would make his debut at the Camp Nou, and at the same time end his career here.

But this time, Messi was rarely silent.

This responds from the side, Messi really has the intention of running away.

At this time, Messi's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Messi couldn't help frowning, this is the club's staff in charge of signing, and he has called him several times in the past few days, all of which want to complete the contract renewal with him.

It's just that Messi's attitude is very resolute.

Therefore, Messi hesitated whether to answer the phone, and after a long time, he still answered.

"Leo, I think you should come to the club, we need to have a talk about the renewal of the contract!"

Messi was about to refuse.

At this time, the other end of the phone hurriedly said: "Don't! Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you said that the things you want have progressed, and we will talk in detail at the club, okay? “

Hearing this, Messi was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I know, I'll go now!" ”

After speaking, Messi got up in a hurry and shouted: "I'm going to go to the club, and Mateo will be handed over to you!" ”

Immediately after Messi's footsteps, he saw the golden trophy in his youngest son's arms, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Matteo, that's my Golden Ball trophy!" ——”

The youngest son was so frightened that he threw the Golden Globe to the ground, and then his little mouth deflated, and he cried out.

When he landed, Messi was embarrassed.

Antonella hurriedly walked over to comfort her little son, then rolled her eyes at Messi and said, "Go and do your business." ”

Messi looked at the trophy that fell to the ground and the base was cracked, and said with some distress; "My trophies..."

"I'll find someone to fix it."

Messi could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you." ”

......

Half an hour later, Messi appeared in the club's conference room.

He had just walked in and found Bartomeu sitting there in addition to the signing officer.

The expressions of the two were extremely relaxed, and they chatted happily, without any worry at all.

Seeing Messi walk in, Bartomeu said directly: "Leo, I think we can renew the contract." ”

He then pushed the contract extension in front of Messi.

Messi pulled out a chair and sat down, he looked down at the contract, then looked up and asked, "You know what I want." ”

Bartomeu still shrugged his shoulders very naturally and smiled; "Of course!"

After saying that, he took out a copy of the contract materials from a briefcase and handed it over.

Messi took the contract information, as if he had just finished printing, and the paper was still a little warm.

He saw that this was a signing contract about Yile, which made Messi happy, but he still continued to read it quietly, and went straight to the end, and when he saw Yile's signature, Messi laughed.

Messi breathed a sigh of relief, he put the contract aside, looked up and asked, "How did you do it?" ”

You know, there are too many teams chasing Yile now, and in this case, it is very difficult to fight your way out of the encirclement and win the favor of Yile.

After all, Barcelona didn't have much of a financial advantage and the results in the first two seasons were also poor, so Messi was a little curious about how they did it.

Hearing this, Bartomeu said with a smile; "Yi is our own person after all, he is the genius of La Masia to go out, emotionally he is closer to Barcelona and... I asked Miranda to preside over this transfer! ”

Messi suddenly realized that he also has great respect for Miranda, the youth director.

It can be said that Miranda is someone that Yile simply cannot refuse.

Hearing this, Messi couldn't help laughing and said, "So, we won't have any more midfield problems next season, right?" “

Bartomeu also smiled: "Yes, we should have set our goals higher for next season. ”

Messi also laughed out loud, he hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.

Pulling the contract extension from the side, Messi signed his name awkwardly, and then asked; "When is he coming to Barcelona?"

Bartomeu sorted out the two contracts, carefully put them in his briefcase, and said, "In a week." ”

Messi nodded and said, "Where does he live?" ”

"The club has already started to help him find a property."

Messi said directly: "There is a nice place near my house, I think you can introduce it to him." ”

Bartomeu nodded and said, "Willing to serve!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Bartomeu said: "Don't announce this matter yet, Yi's transfer work has not been completely completed, and there are still some procedures ahead, and when these procedures are over, we will announce the news on the official website." ”

Messi nodded, "Okay." ”

Walking out of the club, Messi subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The weather in Barcelona today is very good, cloudless, or perhaps because of the mood, Messi's steps have become much lighter.
