Argentina epically qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will begin in just a few months, and the presence of Lionel Messi is almost confirmed, since he himself has said that he would be excited to do so. It is no secret that Messi's time in France was not successful, and his relationship with the PSG fans was never good, in addition, the 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France did not help...

Now, Jérôme Rothen, former PSG player, has almost refused to let Messi play in the Olympic games in Paris, precisely because he believes that the Argentine never integrated with the country and also criticized them when he left. These were his words in a newspaper column:
“Some already have short memories. He has fired at PSG, at France, at Paris since he left. All the French respected Messi when he came. In return, you hope that respect is reciprocated. It was never like this. He has never highlighted the country. He never took advantage of the city. And, when he left, he shot PSG."
"His services were never up to par. He signed with PSG to shine in the World Cup, we understood very well that it was a welcoming place where it was good to live... To walk through the countryside. He was intelligent, he won his World Cup."

What else did Jérôme Rothen say about Messi?
"I, as a Parisian and a Frenchman, see him here again wearing the Argentine uniform... I ask that you whistle him. I'm not saying that you have to be violent, but whistle him when he is on the field to show him that we are very dissatisfied with the image he has given in PSG, Paris and France. Let him assume that it will not be a red carpet."
