“Messi and others turned Barcelona into a cabaret”: the Argentine writer’s criticism of crack | Soccer

–

The Argentine writer and journalist, Martín Caparrós, became a trend among soccer lovers in the neighboring country in the last few hours.

This after providing an extensive interview to the newspaper La Nación where, among many topics he touched, he spoke about his football side as a Boca fan and Lionel Messi admirer. Of course, Caparrós left a phrase that made a lot of noise when he assured that “between him and several others they managed to turn Barcelona into a cabaret a la Latorre”, referring to that famous phrase of the former footballer and today a commentator.

The writer did not spare appreciative words for the captain of the Argentine Selection when speaking of his technical skills: “Messi accustomed us to the fact that everything he does seems reasonable, logical, but in reality what he does is impossible, no one else does.” .

However, when talking about his personality and his attachment to his country and his hometown, the description mixed praise with criticism to explain how Argentine Messi continues to be with everything that means, be it good or bad.

“Messi is little Argentine in the bad sense of the word. The curious thing is how Argentine it still is. He has been in Barcelona for 20 years and continues to speak in a closed Argentine, he drinks mate, he eats roasts. Nothing European stuck with it, except for that kind of seriousness that the Argentine dislikes, “he explained.

But his criticism would deepen: “Since the last Copa América Messi became Argentinian, he was seen as more protesting. He managed between himself and several others that Barcelona became a cabaret a la Latorre. There has never been so much trouble in the Barcelona locker room as now that Messi is captain ”he opined.

Regarding the harsh comments received by the ‘Flea’ for not having raised trophies with the ‘Albiceleste’, Caparrós was forceful: “If any of the four shots that went 20 centimeters from the goal of Germany entered the 2014 World Cup, Messi would be a God ”, he concluded.
