“Those boos are an insult to football, leave Leo immediately from PSG”: a historic French player defended Messi

While he is revered in Argentina, Lionel Messi is having a difficult time in France. this Sunday was hissed and hissed in the Parc des Princes on a cold, gray Parisian nightfaithful reflection of a PSG in free fall who lost again, this time against Olympique de Lyon 1-0.

This isn’t the first time Messi has been booed by Paris Saint-Germain fans. The relationship seems broken and unworthy due to the lack of arguments for such an attitude towards the Argentine star, who can do little in a directionless team. And for this several football legends have come down to defend Leo, including Emmanuel Petit, world champion with France and former Barcelona player.

“I hear many critics say that Messi walks the pitch, but all of us who follow him know that even in Barcelona’s best days he walked too. Messi is the master of the orchestra, he directs and it’s the other players around him who have to make the effort“, commented Petit, who wore the shirts of Monaco, Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea. In addition, he shot: “Booing Messi is an insult to football, get out of that club Leo“.

Since the Qataris joined the Parisian team, the club has not achieved its goal of winning the Champions League and does not know how to change this situation. “PSG’s problem isn’t players like Messi or Neymar, but you have to know how to play with these players. Look at Argentina, they were world champions surrounding Messi with warriors, willing to die and donate their blood for Messi. Or when I see Barcelona, ​​everyone running around the professors. It reminds me when I was playing with Zidane, I wasn’t going to tell Zizou that he had to run in defence, I had to do it for him to conduct the orchestra,” commented the former French player.

“Booing Messi is an insult to football. If I can give Leo one piece of advice, leave this club, it’s not a football club, but a pre-retirement club even if you are 20. No player has ever progressed to PSG It’s not Messi’s fault” concluded Petit.

Galtier’s defense against Messi whistles

A downed Christophe Galtier was seen at the post-game press conference. To such an extent that they came to ask about his continuity. “It is the eighth defeat we suffer this season. It’s enough to be PSG. Now, if I’m resigned? No, I will fight to the end. We have to react in the next match. We must have a champion reaction. I hope our players are not tired of winning titles. I’ll talk to them starting tomorrow. Everyone, starting with me, must become aware of the situation and the work we have to do to return to being efficient”.

The Paris Saint-Germain DT was also asked about the boos that arose from the stands when the voice of the stadium quoted Messi in the preview of the match against Olympique de Lyon. “It’s very difficult. He is a player who gives a lot. Today Leo tried, he managed some situations but he also got lost. He gave a lot in the first part of the season but we can’t expect everything from him“, he ruled.

Henry’s anger at Messi’s whistle

Former footballer Thierry Henry, who was a teammate at Barcelona, ​​expressed his opinion on the situation in front of the French press and had strong support for La Pulga. “It’s embarrassing to hear the boos from the Park. One of the team’s best players with 13 goals and 13 assists cannot be booed. It’s not information, it’s a wish Messi must return to Barcelona for the love of football and because it didn’t go as it should. The tears of her farewell show me, ”said the Frenchman.

In addition, he expressed his opinion on why Leo is now seen in a better version in the national team than in PSG. “It’s not easy to lead an orchestra with three conductors. In Argentina he is the boss. See how players in Argentina watch it. They could die for him. When Leo hears it, he can’t face it. it’s different here“.
