“Mixed feelings”. That’s what comes to mind for Leo Messi to sum up his two years at Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine world champion announced Wednesday evening in an interview with the daily Mundo Deportivo his decision to join Inter Miami. In this river interviewthe seven-time Ballon d’Or delivers as rarely and draws up a more than contrasting assessment of his time in the club of the capital.
“The truth is that the first year was very difficult, for different reasons, he explains. The second year, the first six months, I felt very, very good, very comfortable at the club, in the city, with my family. In the middle, there was the World Cup which marked all the teams, the season, with such an important competition in the middle for the first time. I think that has conditioned the season a lot. I hoped to end differently, but hey, it’s been two difficult years for me in general, but they are behind me now. »
“It affected my family life”
Asked if the two years spent in Paris influenced his decision to leave for Miami, Messi specifies: “A little yes, these are two years where I have not been happy, I have not had fun, and that has affected my family life, I missed a lot of things in my children’s life at school. In Barcelona, I went to look for them, here I did it much less, I shared fewer activities with them. This is also what motivated my decision, to reconnect, in quotation marks, with my family, with my children, and enjoy everyday life. I was lucky enough to achieve everything in football and now it goes a bit beyond the sporting aspect. »
After a difficult start, following an unwanted departure from Barcelona, the Argentinian’s entourage had nevertheless adapted to life in France. “(My relatives) are also happy about this new change (for Miami), even if they are also sad to leave. It was difficult for them at first, but now they are more than adapted here in Paris. They have their friends at school and it hurts them to leave all that. They have grown. Thiago, in particular, understands the situation and is looking forward to what awaits him. »
