[Football] The Blue Eagle of the Pampas

If not for that strange encounter, he would have become a prince of Milan, just like his father and ancestors, conquering cities for Milan and becoming the most elegant breeze on the Apennine Peninsula. But that bizarre encounter made him forget that he came from the Apennines, and turned him into an eagle of the Pampas. From obscurity to the top of Europe, the eagle from the Pampas has finally found the way home. PS: If you can't accept this, steer clear early: the male lead is Maldini's son and Messi's adopted son. (Why set it up this way? It was purely a spur-of-the-moment idea. This is the story I put the least effort into. For various reasons, it fell apart later on. Why is he adopted by the Messi family? This story was originally inspired by the abuse Messi received from Argentina fans after that year's World Cup. Someone close to me is a Messi and Barca fan who was always defending his idol. After hearing about it so often, I started wondering: Argentina is always relying on Messi, always expecting him to descend like a god, but who can Messi rely on? If there were someone who could fight alongside him and share the pressure, would the fans' hostility stop targeting him alone? Why is he Maldini's son? When I came up with the setting, I happened to see a news story mocking the Maldini family for having no heirs: Christian was a lost cause, and Daniel probably wouldn't make it as a player. So I wondered, if there were another child, could he carry the Maldini name? Could the story of Milan and the Maldini family continue? I originally planned to write the two ideas separately as two stories, but that seemed like too much trouble, so I combined them. I had originally prepared everything carefully, but for certain reasons, the story fell apart. Second, the national team he chooses is Argentina. (A lot of people can't accept a Maldini fighting for Argentina instead of Italy. First, in the setting, the male lead had already chosen Argentina by the time he learned the truth, and his bond with his adoptive parents also leads him to choose Argentina. Second, I wanted to deepen his bond with Maldini and Milan, not with Italy. Finally, as the protagonist, he is bound to win the World Cup. At the time, swept up in the emotion of it all, I wanted Argentina to win the World Cup.) Third, a lot of people say the Messi family is poor and wouldn't adopt a child. First, before Argentina fell into that trap, its economy was doing all right, and the Messi family's finances weren't that bad. The family's poverty was due not only to the negative impact of Argentina's economic problems around the 1990s, but also to Messi's illness, which was diagnosed when he was 11. Also, I remember explaining in the story why they adopted a child despite not having much money. I think I explained it later on... Theme:
