Lionel Messi. Federico Pestellini / PANORAMIC
The former French international tackled Paris Saint-Germain on the Téléfoot set on the Lionel Messi case.
Lionel Messi made his comeback after his short suspension during the bustling PSG victory against Ajaccio this Saturday (5-0). In a very open match, the Argentinian however remained silent. And the Pulga was whistled by part of the Parc des Princes during the meeting. An event that did not please the former international Bixente Lizarazu who spoke on the Téléfoot set.
“Me, I’m ashamed of the way we treat Messi. He is not having a disastrous season, he has scored 15 goals and provided 15 ists in Ligue 1. Yes, since the end of the World Cup, he has gone down, of course. But we are talking about the best, or one of the best players in history. We can’t treat him like an ordinary player. We can’t treat it like that“reacted the former left side.
Before adding: “The problem in Paris is that most players are spoiled. Apart from Mbappé who manages to perform no matter what, there are a lot of players who are spoiled by the context in Paris. So the problem, this It’s not the players, it’s the framework. This framework, this requirement that we must demand on a daily basis, consistency in the construction of the squad… But it’s not the fault of Messi. I think he deserves a bit more respect.”
