A former French footballer took the liberty of strongly criticizing Lionel Messi after the Brazil – Argentina match.
Lionel Messi was talked about on Tuesday evening, but in the positive sense of the word. Instead of being noticed by his exploits on the field, the Argentine genius stood out through his provocations and clashes with his opponents of the day.
“Messi, thank you for finally being you! »
For this detestable behavior, La Pulga was entitled to reprimands from Jérôme Rothen. But the famous columnist was not the only one to criticize his attitude. A certain Julien Palmieri also took the liberty of taking him down on social networks.
I hesitated so much for years… between CR7 and Messi. Messi, thank you for finally being you, since this World Cup, a big loser who has a melon triple that of Mbappé… I loved this player so much that now I hate him just as much.

The ex-SC Bastia player let loose on X (ex Twitter): “I hesitated so much for years…between CR7 and Messi. Messi, thank you for finally being you since this World Cup. A big loser who has a melon triple that of Mbappé… I loved this player so much that now I hate him just as much. »
A clear opinion which earned him some harsh comments. Canal+ journalist Philippe Doucet took the liberty of putting him in his place. “Any true football fan appreciates the value of both Messi and Ronaldo. Leave the rest to player fanism, by far the most debilitating…and unrelated to football! “.
Palmieri has the right to have an opinion, but coming from someone who has also shown himself by some borderline behavior on the green rectangle, it is not a very credible outcome.
