Nantes manager takes Messi's side amidst criticism

The confirmation of Lionel Messi not continuing in PSG in the coming season has brought a number of criticisms. Some fans went on commenting that he was a ‘finished player’. Till now Neymar was seen protesting against such indecent behaviour of the PSG fans. Today Antoine Kombouare took the side of Lionel Messi, slurring the fans for their activity.

The Manager showed his love for the former Barcelona forward. The Nantes Coach said that no one should ‘Touch’ the World Cup winner. He criticized how shameful it is for fans to ‘ come down’ on Lionel Messi. The French coach shows frustration towards the Parisian club’s management. ‘If he leaves, I’ll be very happy. We don’t deserve him’.

Lionel Messi went to Saudi Arabia on a trip. The trip taken by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was allegedly not sanctioned by the Ligue 1 giants. What made them angry was their new number 30 not signing the contract renewal agreement. The French club took the opportunity to suspend the player for two weeks. The Argentine World Cup-winning captain confirmed his decision of not to play for the Parisian club in the coming season.

Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré on the PSG-Leo Messi situation:

'I don’t give a toss about what happens on the pitch, the problems at PSG. I love the player. You don’t touch Messi, whatever he does. Right now we’re coming down on the guy, it’s shameful.'

Lionel Messi or Al Hilal has not opened up about the Argentine’s linking with the club. It is reported that the 35-year-old has been offered a proposal of 300 million pounds per year. Neither the club nor the player has opened up about the news.

The Al Hilal coach is not much concerned about Lionel Messi’s transfer right now. The Argentine manager is right now more focussed on the Asian Champions League. The Riyadh-based club would be facing Urawa in the final of the Continental League. “We have the final and after the final we’ll see what’s going to happen.” said the Argentine coach.

The Al Hilal coach does not get nervous about a draw in the first leg. What worries him more is the injuries and suspensions on the team. The Al Hilal side will play the final without Salem Al Dawsari. Salem Al Dawsari broke the deadlock in the first leg of the Continental League final.

The Riyad-based club will also miss Salman Al Farak for the injuries. The Argentine coach still believes Al. Hilal has a strong team to defeat its competitors. Lionel Messi wants to return to Barcelona prima facially. It is now a race over time to see how things proceed.
