Author of a sensational debut with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has still not increased his popularity rating in France…
“Coming to PSG was neither planned nor desired”. By recalling the brutal context of his unexpected departure for Paris in the summer of 2021, Lionel Messi has drawn the wrath of lovers of the capital club. Called to speak on the sevenfold Ballon d’Or on Tuesday, Jérôme Rothen did not go there by four paths. ” His statements are shameful when he did everything to extend to PSG because the soup was good. He came to PSG just to prepare for the Copa America and the World Cup. It was a success.”
“Messi lied to us for 2 years”
Rothen clarified his thought with even stronger words. »He made fun of everyone’s face for two years at PSG. He has lost all credibility. He’s a great player but a small person (…) This guy, I think he’s borderline anti-French, at least against PSG. There, he was finally honest. He lied to us for two years saying that the adaptation was complicated (…) We gave him a year but that was not enough (…) He never celebrated a goal (…) you saw the celebration of his first goal at Miami ? He went around the stadium!”
” Leo Messi, you forgot that you arrived from Barcelona with tears, Rothen added. the Parisians received you with the red carpet and you didn’t give anything back and your statements are getting worse and worse so stay with your studs over there, score as many goals as you want, we don’t care!“, he concluded.
