Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Lionel Messi's time at PSG will not go down in the annals of football. The Argentine has actually never managed to acclimatize to Paris to the point that Patrice Evra even announces that “Messi hated France”, before specifying that his friend Cristiano Ronaldo would have done better at PSG.
In 2021, the PSG jumped at the opportunity that presented itself with Lionel Messi to get it signed. Arriving with great fanfare, the 2022 world champion ultimately disappointed in Paris. Patrice Evravery close to Cristiano Ronaldoalso believes that Lionel Messi hated France, and that the Portuguese would surely have done better.
“Messi hated France”
« I think Lionel Messi hated France. He said it in an interview, he said that he only wanted to leave. People will still say that I am pro-Cristiano, but no. You would have had a Cristiano Ronaldo in Paris, but then trust me, he would have adapted like he did in Saudi Arabia », Launches the former French international at the microphone of Rothen ignites on RMCbefore adding a layer.
“A guy like Cristiano, he would have done interviews in French, he would have made an effort”
« If Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to come to Paris Saint-Germain at some point? Yes. There was Paris, Arsenal… There were a lot of interested clubs. This was before he signed for Juventus Turin. He had Chelsea, Juventus Turin, Paris… He said he would never go to Arsenal. But he was interested in the project in Paris. A guy like Cristiano, we can criticize him or say whatever we want, but he would have adapted. He would have done interviews in French, he would have made an effort. There you see him in Saudi Arabia, he's a Saudi. Unlike Karim (Benzema) who doesn't adapt in the same way, with Cristiano you have the whole package », added Patrice Evra.
