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 Messis 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 hearts demand, and certainly he would manage to do the job.
