Messi in the Premier League, it’s no

While Lionel Messi will soon leave PSG at the end of his contract (to return to Barça or go into exile in Saudi Arabia or Miami), Darren Tulett, the presenter of beIN Sports France, does not see how “La Pulga” can play within the intense Premier League. Even under the orders of his mentor Pep Guardiola.

If Neymar is offered to the most powerful Premier League clubs by the PSG (only Manchester United could be a possible destination, especially if Qatar buys the Red Devils), Lionel Messi, he is not sent to England at all. His mentor Pep Guardiola manages Manchester City, however, but no one sees the Ballon d’Or record holder, at the end of his career, risk playing in a championship as intense as the extraordinary Premier League.

The Argentinian captain will leave the capital club at the end of his contract on June 30 and, at 35, he has the choice between making his grand return to FC Barcelonafinish his career in the United States (at David Beckham’s Inter Miami, as he has imagined for a few years) or take a staggering jackpot of one billion euros over two years by settling in Saudi Arabia .

“He can’t play with the pressure that Guardiola wants”

Darren Tulett, the presenter of beIN Sports, absolutely does not see Messi playing on the other side of the Channel. ” No. I was able to watch with my own eyes Zidane, Henry and even Platini, I’m 57! Messi is one of the best I have ever seen with my own eyes. Today in the Premier League, when you see what the coaches ask for, the high pressing that almost all the teams use, I’m sorry, but Messi, who is still a fabulous player, cannot play in these teams. . He can’t play with the pressing that Pep Guardiola wants “, he says to Football.fr.

The English sports journalist, who has been living in Paris for 25 years, continues his clear opinion on Messi: “ You just have to build everything around him, so he can do what he wants, to compensate for the fact that he’s not going to defend and everyone knows that. Why not, but frankly, I don’t see it “. An absolutely relevant analysis which explains why PSG, with Messi for two seasons alongside Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, has not become a very high level collective.
