Lionel Messi’s two-year stint at PSG will not soon be forgotten. Especially not by Jerome Rothen. The former midfielder from the capital club is still furious with the behavior adopted by the star during his stay in France. Not only did he appreciate his performance on the field but he still said he was shocked by the attitude of the Argentine who, he said, did not show respect for the place where he lived. Criticisms emitted by the reigning Ballon d’Or after his departure from France made the case for his mentor worse. RMC. He invites French supporters to blow the whistle if the latter is chosen by the Albiceleste during the Paris Olympic Games this summer.
“Some people already have short memories. He has taken shots at PSG, at France, in Paris since he left. Yes, living here is a disaster, he says ironically. It is obviously not received as it should be. When Messi arrived, all the French people respected him. In return, you expect the respect to be reciprocated. It never was. He never highlighted the country and the stake. He never took advantage of the city. Back, when he leaves, he fires at PSG. His performances have never been the same. He signed for PSG to shine in the World Cup, we understand very well that it is a welcoming place where it is good to be financially. to walk on the ground. He was intelligent, he got his World Cup success. (…) He gave nothing. I, as a Parisian and as a Frenchman, seeing him play well here with Argentina, I want to say: “Guys, whistle him.” I’m not saying you should be violent, but whistle him when he’s on the pitch and show him that we’re very unhappy with the image he’s given to PSG, Paris and France. Guess it won’t be the red carpet.”
