There was only to see the radiant face of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi by going up on the platform, to take the measure of the event that PSG has just achieved.
Ten years after having taken the destiny of the Parisian club in hand, NAK and Prince Al-Thani hold their masterstroke. " I am very happy and proud to present Leo Messi as a PSG player. It is an incredible and historic day for the club and the football world. It's a fantastic moment, everyone knows Leo, he's the only player who has won 6 Golden Balls, he makes football magical ”, said the sporting director.
« I am very proud of you Leo. It's very sincere, look, I don't read my notes, he laughs, pointing to the leaves spread out in front of him. You have done a fantastic job for the club and its supporters. Then came the moment of Messi's speech, a beaming smile on his face: " Everyone knows how I left Barcelona, it was really very hard because I spent a lot of years there but, as soon as I arrived here, I can say that I feel very happy. I am excited to train. I want to start training because I really want to meet up with the staff to start this new stage in my career. »
He did not hesitate to welcome the speed with which PSG took the file in hand, after "the publication of the Barça press release" announcing the divorce between the two parties. Unlike Blaugrana supporters, the injuries were quickly healed, proof that in football, things go very quickly in one direction or the other.
The reception that Parisian fans have reserved since Sunday at Le Bourget à Léo, did not fail to make the maestro react: " It was madness! If there was anything missing for me to be definitely happy, it was this crazy welcome from the supporters. I am very grateful to them. As soon as the Barça press release came out, people were already in the streets, as if I had arrived when nothing had been done yet! ".
In front of the Parc des Princes, several hundred supporters, including a few well-known figures from the Collective Ultras Paris, were also waiting for the “Messi”, drums, flags and smoke in hand. This is how the Pulga got to know its new locos. In the crowd, it sings to blow the vocal cords, the torches light up the forecourt of the Park while firecrackers explode everywhere, even pushing the police to throw a few tear gas - French tradition requires - to calm the most excited. Time lost, of course.
Messi met his new friends in front of the Park on Wednesday: “Wallah, I saw Messi for real! I saw him in full, I swear to you, he was 50m from me, he did that to me, ”ignites a young boy, miming a thumbs up to his friend. It was then 12:10 and Messi had just returned to the bowels of the Parc des Princes to continue his media marathon.
HIS Parc des Princes, now. No but in fact even said like that, we still do not realize!
