The former French player, who played for a season at Barcelona, criticizes Messi and acknowledges that his compatriot has lost confidence in his game and challenges him to impose himself on his teammates.

 

 

Dugarry, a former French player for Barcelona, currently a radio commentator in his country, treated Lionel Messi as "half autistic" and recommended his compatriot Antoine Griezmann to "screw" him.

"What is he (Griezmann) afraid of, a boy who is 1.50 and who is half autistic? The only thing he has to do is throw 'balls' (sic) at some point," said the former French international in his program on the radio "RMC Sport".

Dugarry, known for his controversial opinions in France, assured that Griezmann must "hit him in the face" because "he has been saying for a year that he has a problem with Messi."

The former player acknowledges that his compatriot, who arrived at Barcelona earlier in the season, "has lost confidence and his performances are not good." "It is true that Messi could give him more passes, but honestly it does not surprise me. Griezmann loses balls, plays with his leg curled up. Griezmann should go talk to Messi to solve the problem," he said.

Dugarry also criticizes the coach, Quique Setién, of whom he says he has not managed to impose himself in the locker room. "He is a totally skating coach. Setien is good people, but he doesn't have the level. He didn't know who to change to. He changed Sergio Busquets in '85 to get Ansu Fati and pitched Griezmann in '90. It wasn't something against Griezmann It is that he does not know how to make his team play. He is overcome. I am convinced that he has nothing against Griezmann, the only thing is that he is overcome, "he assured.

It is not the first time that Dugarry takes it with Messi, whom he has often considered a bad partner on his radio show. The former soccer player, who played 11 games for Barcelona in 1998 before leaving Olympique de Marseille in the winter market, has always considered Cristiano Ronaldo superior to Argentina.
