Jérome Rothen, former Monaco and PSG player, criticized the attitude that the striker showed during the last duels with the Argentina team.
Lionel Messi continues to be one of the main protagonists of the Argentina national team. Thanks to the goals and the talent, this allowed the Albiceleste to celebrate titles again, of course, in the middle of this evolution we saw a much more South American player.
Since the 2021 Copa América, Leo left behind his almost friendly character on the field to fight with all the balls and even confront his rivals in discussions. .
An example of this is his attitude during the last day of the Qualifiers, when the Albiceleste had to face Brazil at the Maracaná stadium, a duel that was marked by a series of incidents prior to the duel.
“We saw very badly the way they were hitting people, just like what happened in the Libertadores final, repressing them with sticks, the players’ families were there. We think of the family who are there, who don’t really know what’s going on. It is more important than a party which until then is secondary “, he noted in his minute.
“We went out because it was the way for everything to calm down a little. We couldn’t do much from down there. Something bad could happen. When everything calmed down, we went in to ask questions about the relatives and find out everything. Then we left,” he continued of the incidents.
It is for this reason that former Monaco and PSG player Jérome Rothen was critical of the Inter Miami striker. »They are world champions. But one thing is certain: this is not the best team in the world! Today, there are players who are world champions and I congratulate them. But they are far from being the best in their position. However, when it comes to their behavior, they are the first to attack others. . Starting with the star of this team, Leo Messi “, he commented on the show ‘Rothen s’igne’ on RMC Sport.
Then he aimed directly at Messi. “Now he is a world champion and had a good rest before the World Cup for two years at PSG. He had the image of a nice boy, but now he changed because his true personality came out and he got caught. . Today, we can’t even touch it anymore. It’s only when he takes a hit that he makes the same comment he made to Rodrygo when he told him, ‘Hey, I’m world champion.’
He then spoke of the Argentinian particularity, emphasizing that “the team reflects an image of the Argentines. Argentinian nationality is like that and you feel superior to another person. They could be classier “, he concluded.
Of course, this is not the first time that Rothen has criticized the Argentine 10. He had already done it when La Pulga wore the PSG jersey. “We are not happy with him. We don’t want Messi. He doesn’t want to play in this club . He made a statement in which he said: “I feel good in Paris.” But used to what? In games that matter, this disappears. It’s bullshit. I watched all of Messi’s matches during the World Cup. I saw how he got involved. Respect the jersey of the capital (PSG). Last year against Real Madrid, nothing. He shit like the others, he didn’t do anything. “He is not made for this level with this state of mind.”
