Lionel Messi arrived at Paris Saint-Germain with massive expectations but it has not been plain sailing for the Argentine international at the French club.
The 34-year-old has scored just four goals in 13 appearances across all competitions for PSG so far and it appears that he is unhappy with the approach and the tactics of manager Mauricio Pochettino.
It is no secret that Pochettino has struggled to get the best out of his squad since taking over at PSG.
It will be interesting to see if Pochettino can turn things around at the capital club and get them firing on all cylinders again.
More importantly, the former Premier League manager will have to get the best out of his mercurial front three. Neymar, Messi and Mbappe have not been able to strike up a partnership yet and the fans will be disappointed with the lack of chemistry in the side so far.
The report from Mirror adds that Messi believes Pochettino’s game plan is too restrictive and the manager is not playing to the strengths of the front three. The Argentine international also believes that the manager has lost the respect of a number of senior players at the club.
There is no doubt that the club hierarchy will want the results and the performances to improve in the coming weeks and it remains to be seen whether Pochettino can hold onto his job until the end of the season.
