Tremenda rajada Against Messi before the Barça-PSG

Raymond Domenech, ancient seleccionador of France, has conceded an interview to "L'Équipe" in which it has undone in criticisms to Leo Messi, Andrés Iniesta and the FC Barcelona, ensuring that the group culé is very far already of the that achieved to dominate Europe during the glorious years with Xavi Hernández in the centre of the field.

"Messi no longer has the same energy that when were 20 years old"

"Messi is the Messi of always and can give him the turn the eliminatory in front of the PSG? The answer is clear, is no. In the first place because the football is a collective sport, an alone man can not win a party he only, is the weapon of the warrior, but no the warrior. And a warrior without weapon will be inofensiva, the same that a weapon without warrior. It is the alliance of both what converts to the combatiente in efficient. And this Barça is a shadow of the team that dominated Europe recently", has begun the French.

"Lionel Messi no longer has the energy that had with 20 years. Now it is more calculador, has lost a point of spontaneity, forces his dribblings or his passes and insists in throwing the direct faults when Neymar is quite better that he in this appearance. Everything for keeping on being the semi God that has been", has looked for to argue to continuation, in some surprising words, adding besides that "it is not easy to see lose little by little your qualities and this is what is happening him to him. It has lost the fluidity of the game and only plays of intermittent form".

Domenech does not think that Messi was the same

"To be the genius that all have known, Messi needs a team that govern the game from the possession, that move the balloon to high speed (...) But the Barça of this year finds often in difficulty in front of each attack of the rival and has to struggle for recovering the possession of the balloon", has manifested Raymond Domenech, the one who has not doubted neither in atizar to the Barça.

"The centre of the field was the strong point of the Catalans in his more glorious hours, had a fantastic trio in half with Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi, afterwards Rakitic. The first is a shadow of himself same, the second is disturbed by the tactical advances of the rivals, that come him to look for very up in his own field, what short his relation with the forwards, and Xavi has not been substituted really. The same that Dani Alves".
