Instability hits Barcelona’s dressing room for Messi

Press reports revealed that the failure of Argentine Lionel Messi, the Barcelona star and legend, to make a decision about his future with Barça damaged the harmony in the Catalan team’s dressing room and caused him to lose stability.

The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” said that Lionel Messi’s teammates feel “underestimated” and do not receive special recognition from the team captain, mainly because he is unhappy with the club and is always alone.

He added that the feeling in the Barcelona dressing room is that Messi does not play with the best players, and it is considered that some of his teammates do not provide the required level, and that he preferred to close other contracts last summer.

And he noted that this had an emotional impact on the team, which gave Messi 95 passes in Tuesday’s game against Juventus in the Champions League, in exchange for his Portuguese rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, the Italian star, receiving 34. assists.

The newspaper highlighted the need to restore the team’s mood, saying: “Cristiano published a photo of a cheerful Juventus dressing room after the victory at the Camp Nou, but the same did not happen in Barcelona after the victory in Turin.”

He criticized the absence of the greats to appear before the media after the defeats: “The young pair Sergio Dest and Pedri were the ones who left at a press conference after losing to Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid.”

Mondo explained that Liu did not understand why he was not allowed to leave before the start of the season, while the club did not fully realize how his star wanted to release him, so the dressing room lived in contradiction, which negatively affected the team results.

He noted that Messi realizes that Barcelona is in the process of renovation, and that means that no successes will be achieved in the short term, while the fans are unaware of Messi’s decision in January on whether or not he will continue.

The 33-year-old star had sent a formal request to management to leave Barcelona, ​​but was reluctant to sue the Catalan club, before reluctantly agreeing to terminate the final year of his contract within the walls of the Camp Nou.

And Messi enters the last six months of his contract with Barça, to be about to leave because he is not happy with the team, since he launched an attack against Barcelona after stating that he was “tired of always being the problem of everything in the club”.

Barcelona recently lost at home to Juventus, 0-3, last Tuesday at the end of the group stage of the Champions League competition, to lose to the Blaugrana at the top of their group despite winning the first five games .

It is noteworthy that Barcelona is experiencing one of its worst times at the local level, as it occupies ninth place in the Spanish League with 14 points from two postponed games, having won only four of its first ten games.
