原标题:The eight sparks Messi suffered in France
Paris Saint-Germain has a new problem. After being defeated by Lorient, Messi traveled to Saudi Arabia, which sparked discontent among the French. At Paris Saint-Germain, they simply could not cope well with the situation. Some sources have revealed that they are already considering a ban for him for the next two weeks. So, what happened in these two years?
Criticized by Leonardo
Leonardo, who had previously served as Paris Saint-Germain's director, later revealed his criticism of Messi, who started for the national team in October 2021 and had to be substituted at half-time for the league clash against Lille after returning to France.
The Brazilian said, "It's a little bit hard to explain. In those two months, he spent more time with the national team than he did here. In the last international break, he played three games and now he has problems with his muscles. ”
Argentine players were purged
After Messi's first season with Paris, where they unexpectedly purged the rest of the Argentine players in the squad. Di Maria and Paredes, who later won the World Cup with Messi, both went to Juve, one as a free agent and the other on loan. Icardi was also in trouble and was loaned to Turkish Premier League side Galatasaray.
After winning the World Cup, he was snubbed
After winning the World Cup in Qatar, Argentina's champions were greeted heroically at their respective clubs, while in France, Messi was only greeted by his team-mates during his first training session.
Uncertainty of renewal
In December 2022, during the World Cup in Qatar, Paris Saint-Germain's contract extension talks with Messi went in a positive direction. However, as speculated at the time, Messi's contract extension turned into a tragedy. After winning the World Cup, when Paris' contract extension with Messi should have been unofficially announced, there was an unexpected turnaround.
Promises turned into lies
After succeeding Leonardo, Campos, who served as a sports adviser, said: "We are in talks with Messi about a contract extension. However, after a huge dedication, Messi's situation in Paris has changed dramatically. From one change to another, Messi's contract extension gradually cooled down. His contract with Paris runs until June 30, 2023, and the future of the Rosario people becomes uncertain.
Hostile media
Since Messi joined Paris, many French media have repeatedly criticized Messi's performance. In fact, Messi tends to score very low, even ridiculous, and this hostility is reflected in the coverage of every game.
Galti was dissatisfied after the World Cup
After the World Cup, Paris' results got worse and worse. The team as a whole did not perform well, and after three consecutive defeats, Paris stopped the French Cup and the last 16 of the Champions League. After such a poor performance, Galti said, "We have to have a work ethic. We can find a thousand excuses, but you have to understand that the World Cup is over. ”
Boos from the fans
After being eliminated from the Champions League and the French Cup, Paris fans were disappointed with the team's current situation and results, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with some players, including Messi. When the starting line-up was announced at the Parc des Princes in Paris, Messi was booed several times, and this happened from time to time.
