Messi came to Ligue 1 this summer, and both Ibrahimovic and Cisse saw Messi as a challenge, and they expressed their opinions to the media.
Ibrahimovic told the media that Messi will write a new page at Paris Saint-Germain, and the AC Milan striker was interviewed by French media Outlet Telefoot, who believes that the Club signed by the Argentine superstar is ambitious and the deal looks perfect. Barcelona's delay in signing a new contract with Messi this summer forced the latter to choose to leave, and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain immediately signed the Argentine international, and in a very short time, the Frenchman completed all the formalities.
Ibrahimovic said: "It's a good challenge for Messi, who after playing for Barcelona for so long, will try something new, he went to an ambitious, win-hungry club and is on the rise. But in Ligue 1, Messi's experience has not been as smooth as Ibrahimovic expected, in the new club, Messi is still in a state of adaptation, for which former Ligue 1 international and Ligue 1 star Gibry Cisse expressed his opinion, he believes that Messi needs time to integrate into the team at Paris Saint-Germain, but he feels that the problem does not happen on the pitch, but because the Argentine moved to another country after spending a long time in Barcelona and found himself incompatible with the new environment.
Cisse told the French media "Team Newspaper": "Messi's problem, we can think of this as a problem, that is, he is a person, people always have their own emotions, have their own habits, for twenty years, he has been living in Barcelona, Greater Paris brought him from Spain, put him into another environment, and then said to him: 'Come, play football'. By this time Messi had changed his life. ”
"He and his family have changed their own inherent rhythm of life and we have to give him a little bit of time to adapt, even though his name is Messi, the objective situation is still the case, and the performance of footballers will also be affected by their own private lives, so I don't think his problem is a football problem."
In addition, Cisse's attention is not 100% on Messi, who also took the opportunity to praise other players in Ligue 1, saying that the players in the French top league are not afraid of challenges and are creating difficulties for the Paris Saint-Germain star. So far this season, Messi has not found a goal in the league, but he has scored three times in the Champions League.
