Already at the heart of criticism for his performance below expectations, Lionel Messi did not escape the whistles of a part of the Parc des Princes this Sunday during the reception of Stade Rennais. A meeting lost by PSG (0-2) which is not likely to improve the situation of the attacker in the capital, the latter having left the lawn without greeting the supporters, as he is often used to, after a another disappointing performance. A malaise that makes people talk in Argentina.
Opponents in the World Cup final, the France and theArgentine continue their rivalry to Ligue 1, where Lionel Messi is at the center of the debates. Despite rather favorable statistics, he who has scored 18 goals and 17 assists since the start of the season, the seven-time Ballon d’Or does not escape criticism in France, nor whistles. Disappointing since his return from the World Cup, harmless against the Bayern Munichand at the heart of the controversy this week after leaving training prematurely due to a supposed disagreement with Christophe Galtier, The flea was heckled by part of the Parc des Princes this Sunday on the occasion of the reception of the Stade Rennes (0-2) at the announcement of his name for the composition of the teams. If he finally had a much quieter meeting than the one against Bordeaux last season, during which Messi had been taken to task by the supporters of the PSG, Leo Messi was not however successful against the Bretons, offering a new service without relief.
“The pill has not yet passed”
It then becomes difficult to justify on a sporting level Qatar’s desire to renew its lease as you indicated. le10sport.comespecially as the divide between Lionel Messi and the public at the Parc des Princes is still there despite a semblance of reconciliation a few weeks ago. ” The pill hasn’t passed yet. What they went through last season after Madrid, the whistles of their own public, it was something very hard to live withrecently underlined the biographer of Lionel Messi, William Balaguepour 20 Minutes, So it’s normal to have trouble falling in love with an audience that didn’t want to understand that you needed time to adapt to Paris, to your new life, to this trio of attack never seen in the history of football. There is no doubt that the new whistles against him this Sunday did not escape the Argentinian, heading straight for the locker room at the final whistle, while a large part of the team, including Kylian Mbappe, headed towards the Auteuil bend to thank supporters who did not turn against their team despite the poor performance offered. Striking contrast between the two World Cup finalists.
“They will go down in history as those who whistled Messi”
Unsurprisingly, theArgentine has chosen his camp and displays his incomprehension in the face of the complicated situation that the hero of the country is going through in France. « They don’t deserve it. A love story that could never exist. They will go down in history as those who whistled Messi “, plague in particular the journalist Martin Arevalo on Twitter. Veronica Browned paraphrase the former player of River Plate nestor gorositovery critical of the French press in February 2022 following criticism of Lionel Messi after his performance against Real Madrid (1-0) : « They (the French, editor’s note) know perfumes, not football ». « PSG have conceded 24 goals and only 2 clean sheets in 17 matches played during this year 2023. But they whistle Messi “, plague the Argentine journalist, publishing in the process an image of number 30 returning alone to the locker room, his face closed:” This is how Messi withdrew from the Parc des Princes… Fortunately he will soon fly to Argentina. » « Don’t bow your head ’cause the crown is falling “, published for its part the account Twitter chain TNT Sports Argentina. It’s a safe bet that Lionel Messi will indeed display another face in his native country, as was the case in Qatar during the coronation of theAlbiceleste. One of the main reproaches made today to the former striker of the FC Barcelona.
