They honored them with medals, honored them with honors, honored their achievements with sculptures, and gave them the greatest titles, but they are almost nothing to the legends of world football, in particular the "Don" Cristiano Ronaldo (34 years), and "flea" Lionel Messi (32 years). So it is time to name both of them on the stadiums in their countries, and this is 'less duty', after the great services they provided to Portugal and Argentina respectively, and put them at the forefront of search engines and social networking sites, and as a kind of giving back after years of fun and football shows and historical goals.
The fairness of Ronaldo
The idea is under way for the Portuguese and absent from the Argentines, as the newspaper "Toto Sport" on Saturday, that Sporting Lisbon is about to change the name of his stadium from "Jose Alfaladi" to "Cristiano Ronaldo" or "CR7", in praise of the player crowned the ball The five-time gold medalist and maker of the great international achievement by crowning Portugal as European champions for the first time in its history, as well as being a symbol of Sporting Lisbon, who played for him one season in 2002 before moving to Manchester United, then Real Madrid and finally Juventus in an Italian career in numbers and titles Most notably five Champions League tournaments.
Officially, Portugal honored him with two top honors in the country: Infante Don Henrique in 2014 and the Order of Honor in 2016.
Honor Catalonia
On the other hand, where Argentina honored the artist, leader and holder of six gold balls, the legend Lionel Messi, whose metal looks more brilliant in the city of Barcelona compared to his country, where he was awarded by the region of Catalonia with the Order of Sant Jordi, the highest honor in the region, and awarded him the title of "GOAT" "The shortest sentence of" Greatest of all time ", the greatest in history, while the decorations of Argentina will not compensate for the golden girl for the value of his homeland and made this country on the tongue of every human on earth even if you did not win the title of the World Cup or Copa America! .
Catalonia's assessment did not stop there: "Cadena Ser" reported on Saturday that "Barcelona is considering granting Messi a contract for life, to keep the shirt (Albulograna) beyond the summer of 2021 - the date of expiration of his current contract - and to maintain the state of mutual love between The endeavors are concerned about the clause in the current Messi contract signed in 2017, which gives him the right to terminate him at the end of each season provided he moves out of Europe.
Previous claims
In 2012, the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo asked Barcelona fans to submit proposals to identify their desire to change the name of the current stadium "Camp Nou", which has begun renovation work and installation of a roof to cover it fully and raise the capacity from 99 thousand to 105 thousand spectators at a cost of 360 million euros , The majority of the responses in the name of the stadium as "Messi", or "San Messi Stadium" and means: "St Messi Stadium."
Enemies .. but
Even his enemies Karmoh .. How not? This year, Messi received an invitation from the famous Maracana stadium in Brazil, "Grim Argentina," to commemorate his name in the stadium of fame that hosted the World Cup final 1950 and 2014, and the historic invitation coincided with the celebration "Leo" his 32nd birthday, which coincided with his presence in Brazilian territory, when he participated with Argentina in the Copa America.
Leo Stadium
We wonder, will Barcelona in the near future change the name of his stadium from "Camp Nou" to the "Leo Stadium" in honor of the legendary years (16 years now) spent by Messi in the delight of the "Barça" fans around the world? When will Argentina or Newell's All Boys, who have seen the Golden Boy kick off, will follow the example of Sporting Lisbon and name Messi at home?
