So Messi was all set with trophies and drained after Tito? And the only motive is for him to play with his friends and train al little as possible? Is this what you are saying? Because dude, that is insane.
How the f. do you know what coaches are telling him? The coaches he had produced Messidependencia, because this is the only way they knew how to win. Instead of using him as the icing on the cake, they used him as the motor, and the spear.
But yeah, right...he choose those nobodies right?
You said things in life are grey(true), not black or white, but you usually choose the purple. The path of speculation and gossip, not plain facts. And also, you never go on the line with suggestions, you just comment on the past.
I agree and i'm saying politicians on the board are the cause of all the bs in the past 10 years. But somehow Messi is the decider and the coach maker who wants to play with his friends and enjoy life.
Here is the thing:
There is a crucial difference between just wanting X objective and acting towards it, and following a method or path of getting X which is flawed.
Messi surely wants to win. It's evident from his statement and from the plain fact that he wanted to leave when he realizes that the team cannot compete for the highest trophies.
He is also a professional, he trains and fulfills his formal requirements.
The problem with Messi starts when you realize he has AN OPINION on how to win. He has an opinion on where he wants, feel comfortable playing, on how he moves on the pitc. And then he has also an opinion on what coach might help the club (Tata Martino, Valverde to stay), what player should the club buy or NOT buy in order to improve (Neymar to come back, NO griezman, etc)
Of course Messi does not know shit about football tactics, and cannot decide correctly both on his role on the pitch and on the personnel and the tactical setup of the rest of the team.
So, the problem starts when Messi oversteps his position as a player and has opinions on matters that should normally be the job of the director of football, the recruitment team, and the board.
Now, as I said a few pages back, responsibility lies with Messi for that, but also lies with all the people in the chain (coach, directors, board members, president) that let him do that and assume that position.
There is nothing black and white in the above. He is not a malevolent, assertive little dictator who just takes pleasure in using power, but he is certainly assuming authority he should not assume and guess what: he is not suited to judge and take decisions on these situations.
