Leo Messi became a PSG player just over a week ago. The ESPN portal described how the Argentinean first days at the new club passed.
Paris was crazy about the former Barcelona player – it was evident both after his arrival in the French capital and already at the Parc des Princes, where he was presented to the fans. ESPN even writes about “Messimania”.
The 34-year-old has had his first training sessions at the new club. For now, he is introduced to them with caution, but still shows great skill.
– On Sunday, he humiliated Idrissa Gueye in teqball, a sport combining soccer and table tennis. On Monday, his new teammates got a bit of a taste of Messi’s talent during his first proper training. Even without the rhythm of the match and the month since the last match was amazing, it made an impression on everyone – writes Julian Laurens, an ESPN journalist.
On Tuesday, Mauricio Pochettino decided that Messi would train in tandem with Kylian Mbappe. They both performed very well in the special two-pair drills and scored a lot of goals. Later Neymar joined them. Their team won the game six against six.
ESPN points out that after Messi’s first week in Paris, one thing is for sure – his appearance on the team has raised the level of effort of other players in training.
– Everyone wants to show him how good he is. Even in small games you can see the difference – says the source of ESPN.
Messi in Paris has already been joined by his personal assistant Pepe Costa. In the near future, it is to help the Argentinian find a home and school for children.
For now, Messi and his family live in a luxury hotel on the Champs Elysees. The footballer and his wife went out to the restaurant and for a short walk. As reported by ESPN, no one disturbed them except for the two young fans who asked for autographs.
