Lionel Messi is more than close to finally arriving at Inter Miami, signing his contract and finally making his debut with David Beckham's team. However, an injury occurred years ago that could have changed Messi's career forever.
Two years ago, Messi and Argentina visited Venezuela and won 3-1. However, the result was in the background after the foul received by the top winner of the Ballon d'Or and which put his physical condition at risk. Now, the author of the horrific tackle lives the worst moment of his career.
This is Luis Adrian Martinez. The defender barely played seven minutes against the current world champion and saw the red card for the almost fatal tackle against the Albiceleste captain. After what happened in the South American Qualifiers, the defender was called five more times to the "Vinotinto" and was later deleted. What's more, for the friendlies in March he wasn't even returned to see his manager.
He currently plays in Saudi Arabia. Being signed by Al Taee, caused him to no longer be taken into account by Venezuela. The team that was led by José Pékerman, who was at the time, hoping to qualify Venezuela to the Qatar World Cup.
