PSG: You’re now grandfather of forest, your role in World Cup not clear – Piechniczek slams Messi

Former Poland manager, Antoni Piechniczek has hit out at Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi.

Piechniczek said Messi is now the grandfather of the forest, adding that the role he would play for Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is not clear.

Messi has not really impressed since joining PSG from Barcelona last summer.

The seven-time Ballon d’ Or, who was recently booed by PSG fans, has endured a difficult campaign so far.

The Argentine captain has struggled to find his footing at the Parc des Princes.

And Piechniczek believes Messi, who scored a goal in PSG’s 5-1 win over Lorient at the weekend, has passed his prime.

“This duel would have been more interesting if Lionel Messi had been five or six years younger. Let’s be honest. Messi is now the grandfather of the forest. This is no longer the footballer he was just a few years ago. It’s not clear what role he’ll play in the World Cup in Qatar,” Piechniczek told Natemat.

“It’s possible that the coach decides to put him on the bench, given the current level of Messi. A role like Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Swedish team. Play the last 15-20 minutes of a match. It can happen that Messi plays a sensational tournament, but seeing how he looks in the colors of Paris Saint-Germain, he’s not the same Messi as before.”

ok

Ibrahimovic managed to net 38 goals with PSG at the same age that Pessi is now, 34, and Ronaldo adding 20+ goals a season playing in Serie A at the same age.

His fans will try to use excuse of age and not fitting into the team or system which is absurd and only proves what critics have been saying all along about Messi being a Barcelona player and would not be able to replicate the same success in another league.

Eibarman for a reason.

He's always been a fraud. Neymar, iniesta and Xavi were the real goats. On his first challenge outside Spain where he was worshipped by the referees, he fumbled woefully in a farmers league . Christiano Ronaldo would have scored over 20 goals by now if he was in PSG, goat stuff.

Messi: Pep, this guy called Ibrahimovic you recently signed, I don't like him,

Pep: Why?

Messi: I said I don't like him,

Pep: Okay.... He's gone!

At Messi's age , Ronaldo was sxorin6a hattrick against Spain in the world cup... messi and Argentina has been busy playing only South and North American teams since they were humiliated by European teams in the last world cup , they cudnt even beat Iceland.... they hv been avoiding European teams like a plague ... for those that still think Argentina is a force ...by the time they play Italy in June...una go know say apart from Brazil , the rest if South America is trash including Argentina....

Lewandowski will destroy him again like bayern, then u will know who truly deserved that stolen balon dor

B

Even a Messi at 10% is still better than 99.99999999999999999999% of footballers on earth..
All Hail The King!!

Lolzz

mumu man. 3 goals and 10 assists in 19 games when he doesn't play 9 are very good stats but since it's messi they want him to have scored like 30 goals in 10 matches base on say he's doesn't bleed or sweat.

yestersay today n tomorrow he's no one mate in the game of football

Like if you support the man's statement,share if you don't.

You whatever is your name, should wait for the World Cup first before mocking Ronaldo or Messi, these two are unpredictable any day twice on Wednesday

What's this one saying?
We all know that Messi is not how he used to be before, man is ageing and you don't expect him to play like he is 23 years old...

He is the grandfather of the forest, we agree , leave him like that for us...

7th balon d'or is okay for me...
