2021-11-05T05:24:48.481Z


RMC Sport is broadcasting this Friday evening (9 p.m.) a two-hour documentary on the six-fold Golden Ball.


The hook is promising: “You only know him.

But do you really know him?

"It must be recognized that" Leo, the film ", the documentary broadcast this Friday evening, at 9 pm, on RMC Sport 1, around the career and the life of Lionel Messi, keeps its promise.

That of allowing us to learn more, less about the career of the six-fold Golden Ball than about his discreet personality despite a behavior that some people sometimes describe as “tyrannical”.

“The psychological part is central, recognizes Laurent Salvaudon, editorial director of RMC Sport channels.

We didn't want to bring ourselves not to know the greatest sportsman today.

He's such a mute personality… How can you be so strong and so mysterious at the same time?

I think at the end of the doc some shots fly, like the fact that it wouldn't have a character.

"

The RMC Sport teams have been working on this project since August, Pierre-Henri Cachera, Nicolas Lansalot, Romain Poujaud, Frédéric Bonzom and Nathan Franchi in particular.

In Argentina, on the side of Rosario, or in Barcelona, ​​they found and interviewed many close to Messi.

Laurent Salvaudon came to the conclusion that "Messi is like the others: he needs to be loved".

But with peculiarities of his own "He needs the recognition that nature has not given him by his silence and his size," he adds.

But he has an absolutely incredible strength of character.

He was still supposed to be a dwarf!

The moral of this story is incredible.

He accomplished all this without being expansive, without being in the canons of our society.

He did it in his own way, persisting in not taking responsibility for his genius.

He dominated by breaking all the codes.

From his first goals with the youngsters of Newell's Old Boy to his exploits in the Champions League in Barcelona, ​​the documentary obviously offers multiple opportunities to rave about already legendary actions or goals.

The testimonies of its first educators or teacher, its first agent, former leaders of FC Barcelona, ​​Jorge Valdano, Javier Pastore, Cesc Fabregas or Omar Da Fonseca, shed new light on the key moments in the career of the Pulga .

Some scenes take on a tasty dimension.

In particular the one where Maradona slips to Pelé that Messi has "no personality to be a leader".

1986 world champion Jorge Valdano retorts: “He reigned over football for fifteen years!

If that's not a sign of a huge personality, then what is it?

"

For Laurent Salvaudon, the life of Messi remains in any case a fascinating subject.

“Football is a sport open to all, but it is a guy who is neither muscular, nor expansive, nor particularly enduring and who does not defend, who dominated him, he enthuses.

When we tell our children that this player was 1.69 m tall… ”
