For one season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic shared the Lionel Messi locker room at FC Barcelona. Fifteen years later, the Swedish is still overwhelmed by the genius of Argentinian whom he defended after the humiliation experienced by the Inter Miami striker in the 1/8th final of the Club World Cup against PSG last Sunday (4-0).
Lionel Messi came out of the Club World Cup By the small door. Indeed, the captain of l’Inter Miami could not face the compressor roller of PSG Who had already spent 4 goals to the Floridians at the half-time of the 1/8th final last Sunday. “Today, it is undoubtedly the best team in the world and it is normal that it has passed this way.”
“Messi plays among statues, not teammates!”
L’Inter Miami was therefore corrected by the PSG On the score of 4 goals to 0, enough to enrage Zlatan Ibrahimovicex-teammate of Messi at FC Barcelona In 2009/2010. “Messi's defeat?” No no does not talk about defeat as if it were his fault! Messi has not lost, Inter Miami did it! Have you seen this team? Moving wood! Messi plays among statues, not teammates! If he was in a real team, in Paris, in Manchester, in any big star. You would have seen the real lion ”.
“There are no coaches, no stars, not even players who understand how to move without ball”
A few minutes after the final whistle, Zlatan Ibrahimovic subsequently railed in the face of the glaring gaps of the team l’Inter Miami, Starting with the technical staff led by Javier Mascherano. “Messi only plays because he likes the game, because he can still do what 99% of players cannot!” But it is surrounded by those who run as if they wore bags of cement! There are no coaches, no stars, not even players who understand how to move without a ball! Do you want to blame Messi? When he plays with Ronaldo, with Mbappé, with Haaland, with Zlatan. So you can speak! But today? No, no, no. It is not the Messi that I know, it is a big ghost who plays in a circus! But beware if you give him a real team he will still burn the stadium! Because quite simply. Messi is still Messi, but today? It is not his defeat, it is the defeat of Inter Miami and Football ”.
A humiliation for Lionel Messi that the player would not have suffered if he had been better surrounded after Ibrahimovic.
