Messi returns to Barcelona ready to put 'ludicrous' Argentina row behind him

Lionel Messi's return to action with Barcelona could not come soon enough. Afforded a break after his exertions on international duty this summer, the 28-year-old is back in the frame for the Gamper Trophy clash with Roma on Wednesday, having suffered bitter disappointment and a fresh wave of criticism following Argentina's failure to beat Chile in the Copa America final.

In Argentina, the Messi debate rumbles on. Exactly a month after losing to Chile, Albiceleste coach Gerardo Martino said on Tuesday that if he were the 28-year-old, he would have quit the national team long ago due to the constant criticism to which the player is subjected.

There is no such debate in Barcelona. Why would there be? Messi is the finest footballer in the history of the Catalan club and he has won it all at Camp Nou, leading them to an unprecedented second treble of Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League crowns last season.

Now he is back and he will be happy to leave the Argentina arguments behind him. The fact he continues to be questioned in his homeland is nothing short of ludicrous and that was reflected by Tata's words. "Criticism of Messi doesn't merit any type of analysis," the 52-year-old said.

Nevertheless, such treatment is hurtful for a player who has suffered disappointment in back-to-back international competitions, doing his best to drag the team through the World Cup and then the Copa America but finally falling at the last hurdle on each occasion as Argentina lost to Germany in Rio a year ago and Chile in Santiago this time around.

In this part of the world, most upcoming Artist are mentally lazy and very impatient, they want everything to roll in very fast and not put in the required energy to grow their fanbase. Some even go as far as buying followers on social media just to look a bit successful. Most of our Artist are living a life of deception just to fit into the set industry standards. Original Artists understand what it means to start from the scratch and build loyal following. Most of these followers connect to their music and follow up with the entire growth process of the brand .
