What did Thierry Henry say about Lionel Messi?
Henry said:
“Nobody is above the rules. I’ve you’ve missed a training session – and it can happen to anyone . Fair enough, you’re punished, there’s no issue there. But the real fracture is between the supporters and the Qatari era. Sometimes Lionel Messi been the target, sometimes it’s Neymar, it’s been Mbappé who was booed too. For me, Messi is not the problem. I’ve played with him, and he’s never been a problem. He was always a solution. You saw he was a solution for Argentina as well. He hasn’t exactly aged in the space of two months. But what I’ve always said is: What are the rules? Nobody’s speaking up, we’re not being told about what happened.”
Lionel Messi, the World Cup winner, was in suspension for a period of two weeks due to an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia. The suspension came after the team suffered a defeat to Lorient.
