Andy Kusnetzoff’s complete letter to Lionel Messi
Dear Leo, It’s hard to talk to you without getting nervous. You seem like a simple guy who likes to have barbecues with friends, listen to music like everyone else, but you are no more. Oh yes you are, but special.
You have brought the cup and that is an extraordinary achievement, but you have brought something else: you have brought happiness. You know sport is very important, but bringing people together is amazing.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many happy people together. No cracks, no difference. Frustrated people, hurt people. People who can’t make ends meet or don’t have a job or have lost a loved one…everyone has come out to celebrate. Did you hear that?
The number of guys happy to see you raise the cup, to see you don’t give up until you reach the finish line. Yours was beautiful. My six year old daughter said to me ‘Can’t you see Messi for dinner?’ because she thinks it’s possible because she looks familiar to you, like all boys and girls in Argentina.
Leo, you are a mug, a tattoo, a t-shirt, a mural. You will be talked about for the rest of your life. Today it’s my turn to be in front of you and I don’t want to stop thanking you.
Thank you for giving everything, thank you for being Argentinian.
