Messi must accept criticism: Platini
Ever since he joined PSG, the club's supporters have been in a frenzy surrounding Lionel Messi. Their dreams for this football superstar also skyrocketed. But the picture has not changed for years. PSG fans are blaming the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner for the team's failure. French legend Michel Platini thinks Messi will have to deal with criticism in the PSG.
Despite not winning the League One title last season, PSG have been the sole dominant team in France for a long time. Despite winning all possible domestic titles, the Champions League is still elusive for the Parisian team.
They are increasing the strength of the team every year to meet the target. Messi, Sergio Ramos, Jan Luigi Donnarumma, Ashraf Hakimi, Giorgione Veneldamra have joined Neymar-Killian Mbabane this season.
Despite the star-studded team average, PSG has remained in the grip of the old failure on the stage of the best in Europe this season. A few days ago, Real Madrid dismissed them from the last 16. Messi did not see the net in either of the two legs. The same is true of his Brazilian star Neymar.
Apart from not scoring a goal, Messi was his shadow throughout the second leg. Repeatedly losing his ball was eye-catching.
After the defeat against Real, Messi and Neymar became the target of criticism from PSG fans. The duo were beaten by supporters on March 13 in a 3-0 win over Bordeaux in the league. Messi has never had such an experience in his long career of more than two decades in Barcelona.
In a recent interview with RMC Sports, Platini, considered one of the best footballers in French history, said Messi would have to accept criticism if he failed to live up to expectations.
“He (Messi) understands their (fans’) feelings, but it hurts. I was also given both on the PSG field (playing for the national team and being the coach). ”
“(Fans) have the right to both. They are the king. I wouldn’t do that. Everyone has the right to give both. Leo (Messi) came to float in Paris. Maybe other parties wanted him too. It’s very difficult. ”
Messi is currently with the national team for the selection of the Latin region. Argentina has already confirmed the World Cup in Qatar from this region.
They have two wins with 10 wins in 15 matches and 35 points in five draws. Brazil is at the top with 42 points in 16 matches.
Argentina will face Venezuela on Friday morning Bangladesh time. Four days later, the two-time world champions will face Ecuador.
