Pochettino has hurt Messi

Paris –

Lionel Messi frustrated after being replaced in the middle of the game. Former top French striker Nicolas Anelka believes Messi will not forget the coach’s treatment Mauricio Pochettino that.

The Argentine football superstar has had the start of a winding career since joining Paris St. Germain. Because of fitness problems Messi has only played three times and has not contributed goals or assists.

In his last appearance, in the match against Lyon, Messi only played for 76 minutes after being replaced by Achraf Hakimi. The six-time world’s best player is reportedly upset, continues to put on a sullen face, even appears to refuse an invitation to shake hands with Pochettino and his new team-mates.

Pochettino later revealed that Lionel Messi was pulled out early due to a knee injury. However, according to Anelka, Messi may feel distrusted Pochettino.

“Absolutely,” Anelka said when asked if he understood Messi’s frustration at being substituted. “You don’t take off a six-time Ballon d’Or winner in the 65th minute when he doesn’t score for his team. He’s obviously very thoughtful.”

“A striker needs his coach to show confidence, and that means no. I may rush to conclusions but Messi will not forget what Pochettino has done. It will continue to haunt him. He can the star of his team and it was his first appearance at the Parc des Princes. It will be very difficult to recover from that situation.”

“Messi didn’t play against Metz, and for me that was his response. You can’t manage Messi like that. The coach wants to send a strong message, which is good, but this can Messi,” said Anelka in an interview with The Team.
