FC Barcelona - La primera entrevista a Messi a la televisió

[timen1986]

4.

- Last year, Cesc went to Arsenal and there have been plenty of people who worried you might leave too.

- Well, I’m fine here at Barça and I want to stay here forever

5.

- This contract should help you settle and concentrate on playing, shouldn’t it?

- I’m here to play and enjoy myself – little by little everything will come right

[timen1986]

8.

- For how long?

- I don’t know, I can keep an orange up for maybe 60 touches and 140 with a tennis ball. It’s all about practice !

9.

- Have you been a footballer since the cradle?

- Yes, I started when I was 3 - we are a family of footballers, my brother, my cousins …. I started and I just loved it.

[timen1986]

10.

- You could always talk football with your Dad couldn’t you?

- Yes, we always talked about the game, he loved football and always talked about it with me and with my brother too.

11.

- And all the family are fans of Newell’s Old Boys?

- All except one, the middle brother Matias, who supports Rosario Central.

12.

- That must have caused a few arguments at home!

- Well, yes, to begin with nobody liked that, but then we got over it.

[blopajmbar62]

7 fans del madrid 

[2150GATO]

6 fans de cr7 no les gusto esto

[ivopintotuga]

Tired of watching people saying that Messi owns Ronaldo etc etc... They diferent players. The only thing that makes Messi better than Ronaldo its because he didnt changed with money like Ronaldo, that has become a Playboy or wtf you want to call it.

[MrWwerey619]

@ivopintotuga

Messi is better just admmit it

[lovingStarsY]

Messi es mucho mejor k el creido de cristiano ronaldo...jajaj

[DavidAguirre03]

Graaaandeeeee Leeeooooooo, EL MEJOR JUGADOR DEL PLANETA. THE BEST PLAYER OF THE WORLD (Pa los gringos), Te lo mereces, todos los amantes del futbol te quieren y eres bien recibido vayas a donde vayas.

[demartinox]

@DavidAguirre03 y q tu te vas a encargar de recibirlo en todo el mundo??? jajaja

[DavidAguirre03]

@demartinox No hace falta viajar, solo si te tomas la molestia de ver los partidos del Barça podrás comprobar como sale aplaudido de todos lados, hace falta tener un poco de seso my friend (Esto no se aplica a los merengues, que por supuesto se sabe la falta de materia gris por parte de la merengada) LOL.

[TheL1fe]

guys if you wanne know what the are sayin go to barcelona site and you can read everything what messi is sayin sorry for me engilsh

[Catarata00zamora]

soy del madrid y este chico me encanta lo sencillo que es y que no hable en catalan , que para eso esta en ESPAÑA! HALA MADRID!

[33JGM]

@Catarata00zamora tú eres t0nt0

[Catarata00zamora]

@33JGM a que viene eso?

[SuperPuyi]

@Catarata00zamora Si, esta en España, pero tambien esta en Cataluña, en consecuencia tiene la opcion de hablar cualquiera de las dos lenguas, su lengua materna es el castellano porque es argentino y logicamente le resulta mucho mas comodo y practico. Pero cada habitante de Cataluña tiene derecho a hablar la lengua que quiera y en el momento que quiera, a eso se le llama pluralidad y sobretodo libertad, no limites tus miras queriendo cortar eso, no olvides que en España hay 4 lenguas, un saludo.

[SuperPuyi]

@Catarata00zamora Respetemonos los unos a los otros, tanto en el futbol como fuera de el (como personas y pueblo), que no cuesta nada, no hay razon para no hacerlo. Espero tu respuesta, de forma respetuosa y argumentada como yo te he respondido a ti.

[Catarata00zamora]

@SuperPuyi si puse ese comentario en el que decia que me parecia bien que hablase en castellano fue porque leí comentarios en los k se quejaban porque no hablaba en catalan, cosa que me parece un tanto irrespetuoso puesto que ya que esta en España y hay muchos seguidores fuera de cataluña que no saben catalán lo mas considerable por su parte es hablar en su lengua materna el castellano.

[Catarata00zamora]

He said he was not going to go to England like Cesc Fabregas did and he also said that his career at first was very difficult because of his addaptation to a new country ,to a new city and to his new partners and because he got injured.

[diegogregoriope]

No habla catalan este chaval?

[Blawy96]

Ojo, ay un madridista !!!!voto negativo el video xD

[darkmerino]

Interview; I guess you have a lil difficults by change city, country..

LM; At the begining was difficult to poor conversation, few time..

Interview, You play good in front of middlecenter, Is there where you feel better?

LM; Yes, I like to play there...

More or less.. sorry about my english..

[darkmerino]

Interviewer; After Cesc go Arsenal, many people thinks Messi leave also.

Leo Messi; No, I´m fine on Barcelona and I would like stay forever here

Interviewer; You wish play here and forget about other things..

LM; Yes, I´m here to play and fun.

I; You are a player lovely here

LM; Yes, but the first season I could´nt play, because I had´nt documents, then when I start to play, I (hurt?) on the first match and were 2 months stop. Then the next season the things were better.

[nthee81]

Maybe we can use this as translation

[nthee81]

I think I need to learn Spanish or Catalan after watching La Liga

[camila2994]

que inocente se ve, grande messi, el mejor del mundo

[bigoorson]

esa actitud es la mejor en un futbolista, es el mejor messi

[EvilLizard1192]

Oh Lio Messi, I love you. You're talented, you're modest, and you're SO DAMN GORGEOUS!!!! You rule the football kingdom. <3

[kh3r4d]

look at him. this is why he became the best and how he will continue to be the best. because he is modest. period. not because modesty makes you a better person and therefore a better footballer. no modesty makes you work hard no matter what everybody says. if the whole world would say messi is the best of all time bla bla he still would work hard to improve as long as there is something to improve. this is something very very profound and very few players at this level have this attitude.

[mientje1996]

that voice compere it to his voice now and what a difference

[pensterify]

Oh my god we have the best player on the face of earth,do you guys realise that?

[xa4ever01]

@d3a7hr0wasd

Basically Leo says that when he arrived to Spain his first season was terrible, because he culd'nt play for 2 months cs he had'nt papers and later he was injured and couldn't play for some more time. Then he also says that he's ok in Barça and he will never go to Arsenal or other teams.

[kuckimonster2]

he's 16 in this video.

[skateforlife100]

he looks 16, shaved like that

[hotdowgtree]

@skateforlife100 i think hes like 18 or 19 when he made this vid.

[boss180888]

a:yes i like to move at the front and the center of the field, try getting the ball a lot and when i'm with it just play.

[boss180888]

a: at the begining it wasn't pretty because with the new friends i did well but i didn't have enough confidence and there was little conversation between us, and it hurt, it hurt because i was there(alone)in the changing room, i'd get in and not talk, at the begining it was hard but after that my friends reached to me and gave me their trust and after that it was very good

q:you're a player we often see play as center-right do you know where you're most at ease

[ritareem]

@boss180888 thanx a million for the translation :)

[boss180888]

@ritareem you're welcome, thanks :)

[spahinho]

@boss180888 for this video there is a transcript on barca's official page so I'm ok

but I'm talking about videos in general...

[boss180888]

a:yes the first two seasons i had a hard time because i couldn't play the first 6 months because i didn't have the papers in order(burocracy) when i started playing got injured in the first match i was 2 months out after next year when i could play again everything went well

q:i suppose it was hard for you to adapt yourself here to the change country,city,friends, these difficulties, how did you take it then

[boss180888]

q:there were a lot of people who thought after cesc who left for england let's not let messi escape

a:yes a lot of people thought that but no,no,i'm well at barça and i'd love to stay here forever

q:you are happy here and i suppose now with the contract you'll dedicate yourself to play and everything else you kind of forget a bit

a:yes,yes, i'm here to play and have fun,everything else well come in bits

q:it wasn't easy for you to get there to be a very loved and respected player

[dasistac]

How about learning spanish? It pisses me off that most northamericans (and many other english speaking countries) only know their language and travel the world expecting everybody to speak their language... I had to study english to communicate in YOUR countries, so how about doing the same...If not, you should ask Obama to put subtitles to every speach he does, in the end 50 million mexicans supported him (probably about the same number form Messi), and who knows how many other ethnicities...

[changemeself1]

awwww Messi<3

[nanone1994]

ENGLISH PLEASE >,<!

[messimkd]

You can read the interview on English on the official Barcelona website !!!

[FunkicidaXtrem]

im spanish i u people who dont understand spanish i say u that messi doesnt do exatings interviws is better watch how he plays than listen to him talking anyway they shuld add english subtitles

[albidj007]

go to Fc Barcelona officiel site.. then you will see subtitles ;D

[Liqu1d16]

lo cierto pero él va a cambiar el equipo

[VishnuZutaten]

Why no english subs..? Whole world is watching!

[nobodyshearing]

for fucks sake! i subscribed to realmadrid's channel because they have english translations and i want to know more about la lige! you have fans all over the world so make english videos!

[aliriano15]

Parece que era mucho mas abierto cuando pequeno.

[Querases]

10.

- You could always talk football with your Dad couldn’t you?

- Yes, we always talked about the game, he loved football and always talked about it with me and with my brother too.

11.

- And all the family are fans of Newell’s Old Boys?

- All except one, the middle brother Matias, who supports Rosario Central.

12.

- That must have caused a few arguments at home!

- Well, yes, to begin with nobody liked that, but then we got over it.

[farrah8888]

@Querases

ThX very much!

[Querases]

8.

- For how long?

- I don’t know, I can keep an orange up for maybe 60 touches and 140 with a tennis ball. It’s all about practice !

9.

- Have you been a footballer since the cradle?

- Yes, I started when I was 3 - we are a family of footballers, my brother, my cousins …. I started and I just loved it.

[Querases]

7.

- They say you can juggle just as well with an orange as with a ball!

- Yes, I like doing that. In Argentina I did it with ranges, tennis balls

[Querases]

6.

- This is your fourth season at the Club, but it’s not always been easy for you has it?

- I had a hard time the first season, because I couldn’t play at the start, I was six months out because I didn’t have the right papers. Then when I got them I got injured in the first game and I was another two months out. The following season I started over again and everything went well.

[Querases]

5.

- This contract should help you settle and concentrate on playing, shouldn’t it?

- I’m here to play and enjoy myself – little by little everything will come right.

[Querases]

4.

- Last year, Cesc went to Arsenal and there have been plenty of people who worried you might leave too.

- Well, I’m fine here at Barça and I want to stay here forever

[Querases]

3.

- What was it like to have a professional contract at just 16?

- You don’t normally get into the first team squad until you are 18 or 19 here, but in Argentina there plenty of 16 or 17 year olds in the First Division because there is less money and clubs need to use their youngsters



[Querases]

2.

- How did the signing of your contract come about?

- A week before, they called me up and told me they were making me a professional and I had to sign the papers – I was so happy

[Querases]

1.

- Are you happy with the season you are having?

- Very happy. With God’s help, things worked out really well last season and this year that’s continuing - I hope it doesn’t change before the end of the season



[14G302]

cutie <3

[IronLantern]

1st Q: After Cesc left Barca , will the same happen to Lionel?

A: he says no , that what everyone thought but no " I want to stay in Barca Forever"

Q: With a new contract , will you dicate youself to playing?

A: Yes Im here to play and all fall in place after that

Q: You have not had it easy but now you are a player well respected and liked

A: Yes it was not easy the 1st 6 months I could not play due to not having the right papers then my 1st match I got injured and was out for 2 months.

[IronLantern]

(Continued)

then when I got fit the following year I started to play again and things have been good.

Q: Did you have trouble adjusting to a New Country , City , Team and how did it go?

A: At first not so well I got along with everyone but not much trust so very few conversations , I didnt talk much but eventually I started talking to my teammates so Trust was built and since then it has been good

Q: what positon do you prefer?

A: Center Forward , it allows me to recieve the ball more 

[spahinho]

put english captions on your videos,

you have a lot of non Spanish fans.

[dinerobizz]

@spahinho

All 2 dumb 2 learn spanish?

[boss180888]

@spahinho sorry they are not going to put subtitles, and as much as i'd like to help i don't feel like making an accurate translation of everything they say...

[kratoz008]

@spahinho he said that was kind of hard when he first started playing in barcelona, because of the country change, different partners and he wasn't so confident, but then he got confidenc with the pass of the time and now he is what he is, THE BEST :)

[VivaBarcelonaBarca]

@spahinho
