In Paris for a few months now, Lionel Messi still does not manage to pull out of the game in the French championship. The one who won his seventh Ballon d’Or this week does not show a performance in line with his status. This was especially seen last Wednesday during the reception in Nice. During this game, he was ghostly and his poor outing was particularly criticized by the media and supporters.
Messi waited until last weekend and the match against Nantes to finally score his first goal in Ligue 1. His goal ratio is therefore far from brilliant. He also risks not exceeding the 20 goals scored in one season. A first since the 2007/2008 season when he had found the way to the opposing net only 10 times.
The cold at the origin of its poor performances
But, therefore, what is the Argentinian suffering from? He would have confided the reason to one of his best friends, Luis Suarez. The two players, who first met in Barcelona, remain close friends off the pitch. The Argentinian would therefore have opened up to the Uruguayan about the difficulties he is encountering in Paris.
In an interview with TNT Sports media, El Pistolero confided in the evil of the PSG player: “We talk every day. We always try to avoid expectations because we are gamers. We know how to act in these times. We are talking about family matches. He told me that when he plays in the cold he suffers a lot, especially in the snow. You have to get used to the cold there, of course. “
An explanation which is still difficult to accept when Paris has made great financial efforts to convince him to join the club in the French capital. Not sure that the Parisian supporters accept this excuse…
