Leo Messi signed a particularly unconvincing debut season about a week ago, in the Paris Saint-Germain uniform with 11 goals and 14 assists in 34 games.
Ahead of the Argentina national team's game against Italy at Wembley Stadium in London this coming Wednesday, Flea was interviewed by the local TYC network where he provided quite a few "pearls".
"The truth is that it was a very difficult year. It was difficult to look after being in the same place all my life. In Barcelona I had it all, I arrived at a very young age. I lived more in Barcelona than in Argentina. Football is different and the routine of life is not the same."

The flea added: "I hoped that by the break things would work out, but then I contracted corona and suffered from not simple symptoms. For a month and a half I could not run and hurt myself."
On the relegation from the Champions League: "I admit that the loss to Real Madrid killed us. Me, the locker room, the club all of us. We were ready and waiting to play against Real Madrid, I knew everything about them. They scored a goal out of nowhere and the game changed completely. "Because I know I can be there, and I do not, but not always the best team wins, but the one who is best prepared and knows how to take advantage of situations. Real Madrid was not the best team this season and still is the one that won them all and won."
On the contempt whistles he received from local fans: "It never happened to me in Barcelona, but you can understand the anger of the fans, because we had a great team. The contempt whistles were aimed at me and Neymar in the past and it was new to me because in Barcelona I felt the complete opposite. Be different and look different, I feel much more comfortable in the club.
"I did not like my family hearing such contempt whistles in the stadium. I know they felt something, but did not tell me anything and let it go."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
