Jérôme Rothen criticized the Argentine’s actions at the Parisian club and uttered several controversial phrases.
Lionel Messi lives a few convulsed months in Paris. After the consecration in the World Cup (defeating France in the final), the Argentinian received various criticisms for his performances at PSG, since he was not able to reproduce the level displayed in Qatar. Despite the fact that he is still one of the best players in the petrodollar team, various personalities have already dedicated harsh words to the “Chip”.
The latest to do so is Jérôme Rothen, a former PSG and Monaco player. From his role as a communicator for the RMC channel, the Frenchman used strong words to comment on the negotiations being carried out by the Argentinian to renew his contract. “Messi’s extension sucks, even in team terms. The management of MNM is complicated. Then there is the issue of payroll. We saw PSG blocked by financial fair play. Because the payroll has exploded. He now has the chance to save a large sum of money since Messi’s salary is substantial. And reinforce the model “explained the 44-year-old former footballer.
But he did not stop there and deepened his criticism. “It’s a very bad idea to extend with Messi. Messi doesn’t bother to move the club forward. He does not want to thank the supporters, he lowers his head and goes to the locker room. Even when he celebrates his goals, his name is chanted, but he never made a nice gesture of thanks to the supporters. exposed.
Words that come in the middle of the Argentinian’s conversations with the management of PSG to extend the bond they signed a season and a half ago. The French club have always shown an intention for Messi to continue his professional career in Paris, underlining his sporting and commercial importance for the project. Indeed, Luis Campos, the team’s sporting director, spoke a few days ago about this intention: “I can’t hide that I would like to have him in this project and that he can continue with us” How did he.
It is even the same coach of the world champion who took part in these conversations. “Leo seems happy to me in Paris, but afterwards you have to see what he thinks of the PSG project, on the part of the club there is the desire to extend. It’s something I don’t discuss with the player, he sees it directly with Luis Campos and President Nasser Al-Khelaifi “explained at the time Christophe Galtier.
