Many say that Messi is like none other. Unlike other star players, he has certain attributes that make him unique.
He is known for his gentlemanly manners and for his dedication to the game. These are attributes that make him special, besides his legendary football playing skills. The forward player of Barcelona has been going through trying times, but his fans and country have stood beside him. Indeed, the Copa America loss was not felt as badly as by Messi.
As he announced his retirement from international football which is still being refuted by his countrymen and high officials in the football world, he is also facing a new dilemma. There have turned up cases of tax fraud against him, but fans can take heart in the knowledge that, he would not have to serve jail sentence but would be on probation.
It is often said that, only in trying times our true hero emerges and true alliances are forged. Messi is known for his legendary skills in the playing field and for having delivered victory to his team single handedly in many instances. It is expected that he would take it to heart that this time he could not repeat his success story. However, at such a time the solidarity that is being shown by his fans, followers and club members showcase the legend he has become and the support he enjoys from everyone. The current case of tax evasion has come up for Messi along with his father who acts as his manager. The recourse that they have taken to tax havens in order to conceal many of their earnings has come up under legal scanner. However, it is sure to blow over and it is hoped that Messi will remain to showcase his skills on the field for some more time.
