“I feel more outside than inside“. These are the words that Messi dedicated to him Koeman in his first meeting as a player and coach of the same team. The truth is The Argentine problem is the Dutchman’s main concern. To understand Leo’s decision, we must emphasize the reasons that lead him to think this way.
The no return of ‘Ney’
Leo messi He has always been sincere in the Neymar case. Despite the fact that the Brazilian left the club in 2017, having renewed a few months before, after leaving he already began to see that he was wrong. Leo interceded to attempt his return, especially last summer, when he asked for active and passive return to the Blaugrana club. The Argentine went so far as to declare: “Honestly, I don’t know if Barça did everything possible for his return.”
The signing of Griezmann
Very related to the previous point. Sounded the return of Neymar to Barça, but also the signing of Griezmann. The transfer of the French amounted to 120 million euros as a result of its termination clause. Evidently, once the club went after the Atlético de Madrid striker, Ney’s signing was under the rug.
The dismissal of Valverde
Bartomeu wanted to fire the former Blaugrana coach after the painful KO against Liverpool with Anfield’s 4-0 win. Ernesto had a very good relationship with the squad and evidently with Leo Messi. At that time, the president did not dare to fire the technician due to the support of the team. After a really disastrous first round, he had no choice and terminated his contract. Something that did not make the Argentine very funny.
The pique with Abidal and his relationship with Setién
When the club finished with Valverde, Abidal explained in the Sport newspaper that there were players who had complained that little was done with him. At that moment Messi, very lit, decided to stand up to him and answer him on social networks. The substitute for Valverde was Setien, a coach with whom the Argentine never had a good connection, nor with Eder Sarabia, his second.
Discrepancies with managers
He Barça has also had to succumb to coronavirus. In full confinement, the club proposed to the staff a salary reduction agreement so as not to go to a direct ERTE without negotiation. Some of the managers did not agree with the demands of the players and decided to make it public to the press.
