Enzo Fernández’s emotional letter to Messi in 2016

“How are we going to convince you that we are dead? How are we going to convince you that in our lifetime we have had the 1% pressure that you have on your shoulders, that you get up in the morning and look in the mirror and you will know that a multitude of over 40 million people just don’t want you to do things perfectbut in a ridiculous way it has been imposed that they can be claimed from you.”, the young player began the text.

How are we going to convince you that we failed to figure out that you are a human being, a person of unparalleled talent, the best player on the planet, but a person nonetheless, how are we going to convince you if we don’t stop? for a second to realize that you are not responsible for the anger that causes us to lose, which often has more to do with our own awakening frustrations.

Let’s look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we expect 1% of what we expect from this guy we don’t even know. How are we going to convince you that it’s hard for us to see that the whole world flatters you, that on vacation you might be lying on a beach and you’re there running and representing our colors so that Let’s see if you run or sing the anthem.

Do what you want Lionel ma please think about staying. But stick around for a good time, which is what these people have taken away from you. In a world of ridiculous pressure, they get the noblest thing out of a game. The fun. As a child you probably dreamed of representing your country and having fun. Seeing you play with blue and white is the greatest pride in the world. Play to have fun because when you have fun you have no idea how much fun we have”.
