In the Club World Cup Round of 16 match between PSG and Inter Miami, all attention was on Lionel Messi. After the Parisians defeated the American side 4-0, Zlatan Ibrahimović made a bold statement that sparked wide discussion in the football world. According to him, the Argentine star’s teammates are not real footballers but “statues filled with cement”.
– Messi didn’t lose, Inter Miami lost! He’s not playing with footballers, he’s playing with statues. They run like they’re carrying sacks of cement on their backs, – said Ibrahimović sharply.
Zlatan emphasized that if Messi played in a truly professional and strong team, his full potential would be much more visible. He claimed that Inter Miami has neither a real coach nor players who can move without the ball. That’s why Messi can’t fully shine in the current setup.
– Leo still loves football and that’s why he continues to play. Even now, he does things on the field that 99% of players in the world can’t do. If you put him in a real team, he will dominate the entire pitch, – Zlatan added.
His statement raised serious concerns about the situation at Inter Miami. The criticism targeted not only the coaching staff but also the overall football culture in the MLS.
Following Zlatan’s words, discussions around Messi reignited. Some fans defended him, while others admitted that he may indeed be in the wrong team. One thing is certain: once again, Zlatan proved he speaks bluntly and powerfully. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
