Today at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi left not only good memories of his time in France…
Criticized by supporters and many consultants during his time at Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi may have left bitter memories with certain players on the squad. In its columns this Wednesday, the newspaper L’Équipe reported on the very cold relations that the Argentine world champion had with midfielder Vitinha.
A decisive passer and author of a high-flying performance against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday (2-0), Vitinha has been liberated in the expression of his game since the start of the season. On the pitch, the Portuguese seemed inhibited by Lionel Messi’s movements in his area. But it was especially off the field that the two men were not on the same wavelength.
Vitinha denies altercation with Messi
The Team thus tells an anecdote which would have taken place in training, at the beginning of this year 2023. On a banal contact between Messi and Vitinha, the Argentinian would have said to the Portuguese: “not only are you weak, but you’re hurting me”. A pike which would have weighed down the Lusitanian midfielder, perceived by Messi, but also Neymar, as the symbol of Luis Campos’ recruitment policy.
The fact remains that the main person concerned has completely denied this version. “ I don’t usually comment on anything in the press, but this time I have to say it. This is completely false“, wrote the Portuguese midfielder on his social networks.
