The World Champion with the Argentine national team in Mexico 86, Claudio Borghi, exploded against the fans of Paris Saint-Germain who boo Lionel Messi and against all those who detract from the talent of La Pulga only because he has not won a World Cup.
The former player and now manager of Audax Italiano described it as injustice that some people believe that Messi will not be number 1 until he wins the World Cup and highlighted the personality of the player, who, in addition to being talented, he considers a good example for others.
“It is unfair to think that if Messi does not win the World Cup, he will not be the best in history. Messi is a totally atypical guy for what a soccer star is. He is calm, he is never seen in trouble . He doesn’t look like many great players who, after gaining a bit of fame, get into the noise more than the silence”, expressed Claudio Borghi in an interview for Super Deportivo Radio.
The one who was awarded as the Best DT of America in the 2006 also spoke about this issue at club level and said that the fans of Paris Saint-Germain who whistle and boo Leo Messi, do so because they don’t know about football.
“I understand the whistles to Messi, because there are many people who don’t know about football and he thinks that the whistle is the expression of poor performance, but he doesn’t even get to understand what the guy wants to do. Everything that is not understood is criticized, I think the French do not stand out for having an important career in world football“, said the former coach of Boca Juniors, taking ahead of great part of the fans of the country and not only of the capital.
“I understand the whistles to Messi because there are many people who don’t know about football, they don’t even understand what wants to do. The French have no football tradition. There is nothing better than criticizing something good when I don’t understand it.” ocyLaOHPyk

And it didn’t stop there, since the “Bichi” finished off his statements with one more attack on French football and relieved the striker of responsibility, insinuating that the Champions League, which was the objective of Paris Saint -Germain, when he hired Messi, you don’t win with billetazos.
“I thought that Messi was going to go to a country with a bigger soccer tradition. I saw him in England and at PSG, the biggest obligation he had was to win the Champions League and that is not achieved with money alone”, he concluded.
