“In the field, there are no friends”. This usage formula sums up the state of mind that inhabits the
Parisians
Before the reunion with Lionel Messi, but it is not certain that she really defines the relationship of certain PSG players with the Outleple Ballon d'Or.
During his two years in the capital, Messi obviously inspired respect by his exceptional talent and his immense CV. A stature reinforced by a Ballon d'Or won in France and a World Cup added to its record.
Lionel Messi-PSG, reunion.
But beyond the unique footballer he is, Leo Messi did not only establish friendships in Paris. If his complicity with Neymar has remained intact since their Barcelona years, the native of Rosario was much more remote with his other teammates. Including in the field.
Hakimi displays his ambition before the reunion with Messi
Like Vitinha, Achraf Hakimi had not yet taken the dimension that makes it one of the best players in the world when Messi was still playing at PSG. The Moroccan international did not have a very fruitful technical relationship on his right side, where Messi and Angel Di Maria often obscured his calls.
But Hakimi has never shown the slightest resentment in his public statements. This Sunday, at 6 p.m., all these beautiful people will meet for a place in the quarter -final of the Club World Cup. PSG's right side defender clearly displayed his ambition. “It's nice to find Messi. There have been a lot of beautiful moments but afterwards, on the ground, there are no friends. He will try to win and we too will try to win. We will give everything to try to pass the next round ”. The message has passed.
