Genius you are notA ‘Pep’ talk you say? Surely only Pep can give one of these?
Messi was to put a statement out on social media yesterday.
Seemingly, someone gave him a Pep talk that it would not be right to go about it this way and that Barcelona fans need to be respected and hear it directly from the horses mouth.
Far too political for me all this!!
The framing of this is quite important.
It feels like the media have lost sight of the fact Barcelona had an agreement with Messi that he could leave for free if he told them on a date that has been about 10 days after the end of the season every year for 50 years.
A once in a lifetime global pandemic shifted the football calendar and moved the dates, so now Barcelona's board are trying to use that technicality to trap him at Barcelona.
Messi needs to speak publicly and frame it that way, and the fans will turn on Bartomeu. In the Athletic podcast they said that 20% of fans already thought he should be let go for free according to a poll on Wednesday.
Messi, if he wants to go for free, needs to speak out about it. And Puyol, Xavi, Pique etc. siding with him publicly and saying he should go would be very helpful too.
If the video piece from Messi is good, he'll make that 20% go up to 80% and the fans will be demanding Bartomeu doesn't desecrate the club even further by betraying the spirit of the agreement with their greatest player.

Messi has filmed a 'to-camera' piece in the last 24 hours.
It is directly to the Barcelona fans explaining his decision for asking to leave.
Don’t stop tolmie, I’m nearly there
