KOMPAS.com – Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar also criticized Barcelona’s management for their treatment of Luis Suárez.

The criticism was expressed by Neymar in the Instagram comment column uploaded by Barcelona captain Lionel Messi.

Messi uploaded seven photos on Friday (9/25/2020) along with a farewell message addressed to Luis Suárez.

Besides admitting that Luis Suárez had a hard time leaving for Atlético de Madrid, Lionel Messi also criticized Barcelona’s management.

“You (Suárez) should have a more deserved farewell. You are one of the most important players in the history of Barcelona,” said Lionel Messi.

“Here he has won several individual and club titles. He shouldn’t be sent off like this,” Lionel Messi said.

“However, what you have received now does not surprise me. Good luck with your new adventure. I love you very much,” Messi added.

The rise of Lionel Messi was later commented on by Neymar.

Neymar, who played with Messi and Suárez at Barcelona, ​​also criticized the management of the team known as the Blaugrana.

“It’s hard to believe that they (Barcelona) could do something like that (they kicked Suárez disrespectfully),” Neymar said.

The Barcelona legend who also commented on the rise of Lionel Messi was Daniel Alves.

Alves also regretted the treatment that Barcelona gave Luis Suárez.

Alves implicitly considered that Barcelona did not know how to treat players well.

“Unfortunately, this fact has happened in the past. The incident this time is just to confirm what has happened every year,” said Daniel Alves.

“It’s not about winning or losing, we all know that. However, it’s about something bigger, respect. They (Barcelona) don’t know it,” said Daniel Alves.

Luis Suárez’s march to Atlético de Madrid was fraught with much drama.

The drama started when Barcelona’s new coach, Ronald Koeman, sent Luis Suárez out in mid-August 2020.

The way Ronald Koeman kicked Luis Suárez at that time immediately became controversial because he did it over the phone.

Ronald Koeman’s decision was reported to have also been a consideration for Messi when he asked to leave Barcelona late last month.

After Messi decided to stay, Luis Suárez’s fate remained unchanged.

Luis Suárez, who wants to stay, has yet to leave Barcelona because he was not included in Ronald Koeman’s plan.

During his search for a new team, Koeman asked Luis Suárez to train until he was expelled from Barcelona’s preseason squad in a test match.

Realizing that his future at Barcelona was over, Luis Suárez finally opened communication with Juventus until reaching an agreement with Atlético de Madrid.

Although he relented and chose to leave, Luis Suárez was still not without problems.

The president of Barcelona, ​​Josep Maria Bartomeu, had prevented the departure of Luis Suárez asking for a money transfer to Atlético de Madrid.

This was done by Bartomeu because he did not want Suarez, who still had a year left on his contract, to move to a rival team on a free transfer.

By not accepting Bartomeu’s treatment, Suárez allegedly threatened to hold a press conference with his legal team.

After the two met, Barcelona finally agreed to let Suárez go free to Atlético de Madrid.

Quoted on the Sport.es website, Luis Suárez will obtain a two-year contract from Atlético de Madrid until June 2022.

The 33-year-old will receive 7.5 million euros or the equivalent of 129.9 billion rupees per season.

Luis Suárez’s contract also includes an article that makes Barcelona receive 6 million euros based on the player’s performance and the achievements of Atlético de Madrid.

Before inaugurating Luis Suárez, Atlético de Madrid loaned Alvaro Morata to Juventus.
