Wang Tao: Before the World Cup final, Messi knew his father had less than a month to live.

On August 9th, Beijing time, commentator Wang Tao released a video discussing the passing of Messi's father.

In the video, Wang Tao said: "Many people have asked me what exactly happened in Argentina's locker room before the World Cup final. I have been telling everyone in my live broadcast that I don't know why Enzo cried, and I don't know why Paredes was so emotional, but I know very well what happened to Messi."

Because Messi already knew before the final that his father had less than a month to live. I mentioned before that Mr. Jorge barely managed to watch Messi's first group stage match in the World Cup thanks to a heart stimulant. At that time, I only went into more detail about Mr. Jorge's situation after the Argentine media had already revealed his condition.

As a result, I also encountered a lot of cyberbullying during that period. Many people said that I fabricated details about the "heart stimulant" to gain traffic. So afterwards, I never mentioned anything about what happened before the World Cup final for Messi, his family affairs, or Mr. Jorge's condition, and I no longer revealed any details.

But I also know that Mr. Jorge's time is really running out. Messi is going through the most difficult moment of his life. Actually, we were going to visit Messi's home before the World Cup, and we already knew that Mr. Jorge was seriously ill. We planned to go again after the World Cup, but we received bad news on the day the final ended. Life is really unpredictable.

Even with such an outstanding son as Messi, he still couldn't escape the torment of illness. Knowing the situation, I probably felt a more complex mix of emotions when watching the World Cup live than most people.

Who would have thought that he could achieve such good results in the World Cup under such great pressure? Of course, what was even more unexpected was that such a football king would be subjected to countless accusations, smears and insults on the Internet.

Sometimes I wonder, is this still a real world? What exactly is good, and what is evil? Of all the players I know, in terms of character, sportsmanship, and pure passion for football, Messi is not the one who should be slandered.

By the way, there have never been any friendly matches between Argentina and other countries, and even if there were, it's highly unlikely that man would come. May Mr. Jorge rest in peace, and may the world see more true justice.
