The chorus of critics has tuned in to Lionel Messi. General tenor: The superstar’s performances are far from what Paris Saint-Germain hoped for. La Pulga regularly receives support from his colleagues. So also by Leandro Paredes.
Lionel Messi has been under contract with Paris Saint-Germain for six months now. The first shock after his tearful departure from FC Barcelona has been digested. Among his new teammates, the superstar only has supporters of his person, who also regularly confront the critics in public.
“It’s not easy even for the best player in the world to arrive at a new club, be successful and always give 100 percent,” Leandro Paredes Messi defended in an interview on the club’s official channel.
The mood hasn’t just been positive since Messi first signed a two-year deal with the French superclub last summer. Of course, the demands on the 34-year-old were high. The disappointment that so far only rarely outstanding performances have come from him is therefore great.
“It’s difficult to adjust to a new country, a new club and new team-mates after spending so much time elsewhere,” said Paredes, who knows Messi from training courses with the Argentina national team. “Leo will certainly change things and show himself at his highest level.”
