Lionel Messi accused of being arrogant, revealing his true nature

Messi fulfilled his last wish as a player when he won the 2022 World Cup with the Argentina national team. After that tournament, the Argentine star left PSG to play for Inter Miami.

Notably, Messi has become more easily angered in recent times. Recently, in the match between Argentina and Brazil, El Pulga yelled at Rodrygo and called the player a "little boy" after being provoked first.

Commenting on Messi, former player Jerome Rothen had a different attitude after winning the 2022 World Cup. He assessed that the number 10 superstar is becoming more and more arrogant and conceited.

Jerome Rothen shared: "When talking about the attitude of Argentine players, we see that they always start the fight first. Even now, Messi is the first to get angry. Previously, Messi always appeared in the media with the image of a player with a warm, friendly interface.

But now he's acting all cocky after winning the World Cup. That's Messi's true nature. People have seen the real him.

Now, no one can touch Messi anymore. Every time he collides with Rodrygo, he will repeat the phrase: "Hey! I am the world champion". Argentines are always like that. They are only satisfied when they surpass others. Please behave with more class!".

During his time at PSG, Messi was repeatedly criticized by Rothen. In March, the former PSG player said that the Argentine superstar often disappeared during big matches. Rothen then asserted that El Pulga did not deserve to win the 2023 Ballon d'Or.

Rothen shared: "That is a shameful title for Messi. For me, Haaland deserves it. From August 2022 to June 2023, what criteria evaluates Messi as better than others? Basically there is none.

If we talk about titles, Messi is behind Haaland even after winning the World Cup. Haaland has won everything with Man City. You can't use the World Cup as a criterion because Haaland is Norwegian (not allowed to attend the World Cup)."
