TEHRAN, Dec. 17 (MNA) � An Iranian art celebrity has said he would meet Lionel Messi in an attempt to �change his mind� about Iranians.
Jamshid Mashayekhi told Mehr News that in a meeting with Ali Abdullah Zadeh, the directing manager of Esteghlal Sport Club they discussed a visit to Spain to brief Messi, Argentinean superstar of Barcelona FC. �Messi should know that Iranians have a great culture. I received excellent proposal to visit Spain and I accepted; but the circumstances should be proper for a visit,� said Mashayekhi.

He believed that Iranian swarming of Messi�s Facebook page and disrespecting him was a source of disappointment for Iranians and Iranians should not have done so with Messi. On his probable dialogue with Messi, Mashayekhi told that �I would not speak to him as myself. I should represent Iranian people. I would speak to different social groups and transfer their message to Messi,� he added.

Asked whether his physical conditions would allow for such a visit, Mashayekhi told that the visit was a heart�s demand, and certainly he would manage to do the job.
