In the Paris Saint-Germain match against Bordeaux, Paris fans issued a huge boo to Messi, and almost every time Messi touched the ball, the boos would follow. However, this move by Paris fans has been collectively criticized by industry insiders.
As Messi and Neymar warmed up, the prepared Paris fans booed. Pochettino admitted after the game, "We were all affected and no one liked the atmosphere, which made me sad. ”
In fact, Messi's performance in this campaign was quite outstanding, and the team newspaper gave the Argentine a game-high 7 points. In addition to hitting the goalpost, Messi was involved in all three goals.
Because of this, players, journalists and the media have expressed their support for Messi.
Suarez first posted a photo with Messi and Neymar, and said, "As always, football has no memory, I am with you." Fabregas similarly said, "Football has no memory, it is a shame. Guys, I've been with you guys. ”
Tochtert, a reporter for the team newspaper, said: "In the first season for Paris, Messi was the best passer in Ligue 1. However, he received boos at the Parc des Princes in Paris. He could have played better at Paris but couldn't be sure that treating him in this way would help him better integrate into the environment. ”
TYC TV reporter Gaston Edu said: "Paris has never won the Champions League, Messi was booed just because he did not win the Champions League in his first season for Paris. Fans are complaining about the club's expenses, but Messi has made them make more money. Not only that, but he also increased the prestige of Paris around the world. ”
"So, such boos are ridiculous. They were just playing against the players, Messi played an irregular season, but the fans' reaction was meaningless. ”
"Messi is more important than Paris. The world is watching Messi, followed by Paris. Can he play well or not, but get booed? ”
Spanish journalist Alfred Martinez also believes that "Paris Saint-Germain is not worthy of Messi." Fans have posted comparisons between Messi and Paris' number of league, Champions League, Club World Cup titles and Ballon d'Or to support this view.
The Team Newspaper noted that "Messi has never been booed like this in his career. This is not the case, while playing for the Argentine national team, Messi was booed at home, and the Argentine media even ridiculed him as "Messi on TV".
However, Messi persevered and conquered the Argentine fans by winning the Copa America and breaking the curse of not being able to win the title. Messi once said, "Being an Argentinian means you're always going to find a way to make a comeback and be stronger than ever." ”
This time, he will also make a comeback.
