Usually after a Champions night, Lionel Messi goes viral for an incredible run or a sensational goal.
However, on Wednesday it went viral for the wrong reasons.
During Barcelona’s 2-1 win over Dynamo Kyiv, Messi was talked about for a lazy moment as he failed to put pressure on an opponent.
In isolation, the video doesn’t look very good. Many fans have criticized the Argentine for his lack of work rhythm and believe that this is an example of his discontent at the Camp Nou.
However, a former teammate has come out in support of the six-time Ballon d’Or winner: Thierry Henry.
“When I see that people keep trying with Messi for whatever reason, I laugh. I laugh because people forget that last month he went to play in Ecuador and then he went to play in Bolivia,” Henry said on the CBS podcast. Sports Que Golazo. .
“Nobody is putting that in the bracket, that you had to take a 12 hour plane and you can’t even walk in Bolivia! Players coming from Europe, you faint. And then you traveled and played again. And yes, maybe in A game is tired, so what? We are talking about a guy who scored more goals than he played. People forget that we are not machines. In the Classical, five or six times he went to tackle someone for the flag of the corner, but that’s not news, that’s when I don’t get it. We’re still talking about it.
“If you want to find some things, there is a guy you have to leave alone. Leave him alone. Because when he is not going to be in the field, we are all going to cry. I understand that you have to sell things and you need to make stories, but not this Guy. Seriously. I played with Leo, this is not the guy you have to attack. This is what I don’t understand, and he gets his credit, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes teasing the boy just for teasing the boy. What he has done for football, what he has done for Barcelona, is unsurpassed.
“So I don’t understand when people question their wish. This is what bothers me. Sometimes guys push the ball to me and I walked! It wasn’t out of desire, sometimes I was tired, sometimes I just couldn’t that, my brain couldn’t was following me, it may or may not happen.
“But how can you question Leo Messi’s wish? Really!? It’s just, to me, ridiculous. When I hear that, I say, ‘What? Are we questioning his wish ?!’ You can be bad, yes he can do better, well I don’t even know if he can do more than he does, but question his wish?
“Please. Leo Messi is just an animal. Come in, come in, forget it, we can stay all day. It’s pretty simple for me: just enjoy the guy while he’s there and stop complaining about things he doesn’t do. It doesn’t happen to Often let’s be honest, but like I said, if there’s one guy who deserves a pass, it’s him. “
Well said, Thierry.
By the way, Messi has remained on the bench for the clash at Barça’s home against Real Betis this afternoon. Maybe I’m just tired after all …
