 A few days in between. After spending some time in Paris, Lionel Messi opened up again. In an interview with a French channel, Messi described how difficult it was to start in the opposite direction with challenging circumstances. A few days ago, Messi talked about the behavior of PSG supporters.

He joined PSG, the club from Paris, after spending 17 years in Barcelona. It was an exciting prospect for him to go to the Parisian club after leaving Barcelona. However, as easy as it seemed, the start was not as good due to the circumstances. Starting anew, new strategies, the biggest challenge was adapting to a new country.

Messi said, "I joined the team late. I didn't have the opportunity for proper preseason preparation. So, the beginning was very difficult for me. It has also been challenging for my family to cope with difficult circumstances."

Due to his participation in the Copa America that year, Messi's move to a new club was delayed. He had led Argentina to victory in the Copa. Afterward, he was affected by a COVID-19 infection during the winter break. As a result, the process of integrating with the team was hindered again. Messi said, "It took a lot of time for me to find my physical rhythm."

Interestingly, since winning the Copa America against France, Messi has been even more heavily criticized. Some French fans have not been able to accept their country's defeat. Messi faced significant backlash after winning the World Cup. Most of his supporters loved him. There was a clear division among PSG supporters in Paris."

Messi added, "I don't want any division to exist. But even with Mbappé and Neymar, they have experienced similar situations. It is their natural behavior. However, those who have supported me throughout should not forget them. They have been by my side since the beginning.
