The big Argentinian star of the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi, conceded does some days an interview to the chain "MBC" of Egypt that has generated an unexpected controversy between a sector of the citizenship of the country, several high charges of the Egyptian government and also some federative. When seeming, is tradition in the program that interviewed to Messi that, after the interviews to people or famous artists, these give to the chain with a gift that have to see with his practice and can be auctioned later for charitable actions.

"The Flea" endowed to the program of one of his boots, and until here seems all normal. However, apparently a lot of Egyptian citizens have not understood the background or context of the situation, and have taken the give of Lionel like a humiliation, as if the Argentinian star wanted to hint that he is upper to the citizenship of Egypt and that has given his boot by penalty. 

"We never have been humiliated during the seven thousand years of civilisation. I will strike you with the shoes, Messi. This is my shoe, it dono to the Argentinian", has even declared during the last hours the parliamentary Said Hasasin, leaving patent the incomprehensible indignation of some public characters of Egypt.

The president of the Egyptian Federation of Football, Azmy Megahed, neither has bitten the tongue to the hour to criticise to Leo Messi: "Our poor do not need it. Shoes of work for him. I am confused, if has the intention to humiliate us, then say him that it would be better to put these shoes in his head and in the heads of the people that support him. We do not need the shoes and do not need charity of the Jewish or of the Israeli village. It give his boots for his country: Argentina is full of poverty".

One of the Egyptian footballers more prestigious of the last years, Measure, has defended however to Leo Messi, trying appease the tension and putting something of common sense to the subject. "The most valuable that possesses the writer is his feather, and the loveliest that has a footballer are his boots", has said, whereas the journalist that interviewed to Messi, Cute The-Sharkawy, also has showed surprised by all the stir generated. "In our program ask a memory to our interviewed and put it to auction with ends solidarios. Messi never said that it went to give his boots for the charity with Egypt", has declared. In definite, seems that it is not a good moment so that the Argentinian leave of trip to Egypt... At least until the waters calm .
