Roten: "As soon as Messi has a weekend off, he goes straight to Barcelona"

Former PSG footballer Jerome Roten criticized striker Lionel Messi for his attitude towards the Parisian club.

"Messi personifies football. He has made an incredible contribution to history. He is one of the best footballers of all generations. But we are very disappointed with his contribution in his two seasons at PSG. I'm not even talking about his game, I'm talking about interviews where he could have shown that he was happy with life in Paris. On the contrary, we always heard unpleasant statements.

As soon as he has a weekend off, he immediately goes to Barcelona. He never got used to Paris, to what PSG is. Of course, it's a young club, but with history and respect. Leo has never identified himself as a PSG player, and that's why I have a problem with him," RMC Sport quoted Roten as saying.
