This is not Lionel Messi, whom I know

Zlatan Ibrahimovic says that Lionel Messi witnessed during the club’s World Cup “not the person he knows” and believes that his teammates in the Miami team are hindering him.

Miami has reached the last 16 of the United States before 4-0 was crushed by European Champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi fled inside and outside the match against his former club and was ultimately powerless to prevent them from suffering a convincing defeat.

Ibrahimovic was happy to exempt Messi from any blame.

“It was not Leo Messi who lost, he was in Miami,” he told the former Swedish striker Foot Mercato about the defeat against Paris Saint -Germain.

“Messi plays with statues, not his teammates. He is surrounded by players who run as if they were carrying bags of cement.”

“It should be with better players.”

Speculation Messi was looking for a short -term loan step before the World Cup next summer.

Ibrahimovic, who played the football league starring in Los Angeles Galaxy, alongside Messi in Barcelona, ​​believes that 38 years old will benefit from playing in a better team.

“This is not Messi that I know,” he added. “If you put it in a real team, everything comes out. There are no coaches, no stars, not even players who understand how to move without the ball. When he plays with (Cristiano) Ronaldo, with (Kylian) Mbappe, with (Airing) Halland, with Zlatan. Then you can speak.

“If it is in a real team, any great team, you will see the real lion.

“Messi plays alone because he loves the game, because he can still do what 99 % of the players cannot. But this is not Messi that I know.”
