In his show on RMC, Jérôme Rothen completely let loose on Lionel Messi, whom he describes as a “little person” who respected neither PSG nor the French.
Lionel Messi entrusted it without embarrassment, he did not intend to sign at PSG in 2021 (after being ousted by Barça) and was not happy in Paris with his family. These statements by the captain of the Argentine world champions pissed off Jérôme Rothen, who launched into a long diatribe on Tuesday on his show on RMC. The former attacking midfielder recalls that “La Pulga” first considered a 3rd year at PSG because “ the soup was good before choosing Inter Miami in Florida.
Rothen is clearly angry with the man who is the Ballon d’Or record holder (7, soon 8): ” you are a great player, the prize list speaks for itself. He was an incredible player, but I’m sorry, his big downside is his arrival at PSG, the two years he fucked everyone’s head. For me, he lost all credibility. He’s a big player, but he’s a small person. This guy is borderline anti-French. He was in any case against Paris Saint-Germain “.
“He had a palace, a castle”
Unconvinced by the performances of the former Parisian number 30, regularly decisive but inactive when the ball was lost, Rothen really resents this player who has turned his back on the public at the Parc des Princes. “ Since this little person does not think too much either, he comes to explain to us that in Saudi Arabia, for his family, it would have been complicated, whereas he is borderline tourist guide there and that he took a big check » ; ” He couldn’t pick up his children when it’s wrong. They were in a private school, I’m not going to tell his life story, in a place, where he had a palace, a castle, but maybe it wasn’t big enough. “Adds the former French international.
Before concluding: ” I hope that one day there will be a France-Argentina rematch “. It’s not wrong, Messi took advantage of his time at PSG to gain momentum a few months before the 2022 World Cup before being phenomenal in Qatar, to write his legend a little more by winning the world title at the expense of bruises.
