While he was a player, everyone would shut up and watch what kind of magic trick he’d pull off next. Now, he no longer plays, but people still shut up and pay attention when Ronaldinho has something to say.On his visit to Paris, Le Parisien asked the legendary Brazilian ace about his opinion on the current state of affairs at his old stomping ground, Parc des Princes.Sunday, 21.45: (1.23) PSG (7.00) Lorient (14.0)The focus will always be on Lionel Messi and Neymar, the Paris players who have also played for Barcelona. Paris fans expected Messi to be the man of the match in every game, to score every week and lead his new club to Champions League glory. But none of that happened. Now, a large section of SPG fans openly jeers the Argentine, much to Ronaldinho’s disbelief.”I think it’s difficult for Messi, who arrived this season after many years in completely different football, at a club that always played the same way. He just needs time to adapt, but the rest will come naturally. It’s normal. I don’t understand the whistles and boos directed at him. If you boo Messi, the best in the world, then who are you going to applaud? I do not understand…”Time and patience are required to turn any group of players into a winning team. But patience seems to have run out after Paris crashed out of the Champions League.”The fans were not happy that they couldn’t win the Champions League. The two biggest names at PSG are Neymar and Messi, so, normally, the fans’ unrest was a little stronger towards the two of them. But I think the fans are unhappy with all the players, not just Ney and Leo. But it’s football, and, in a while, it will return to normal.”Ronaldinho at PSG 🤩Where it all started 🙌pic.twitter.com/DoqmTFg2VF— GOAL (@goal) August 20, 2020 Neymar has also been under fire after his subpar performances. His compatriot Ronaldinho believes that he’s still one of the players who can perform at the highest level if he manages to stay fit.”I hope he won’t have injuries next season, and the rest will be as it should be. I hope that with the successful adaptation of Messi, the two of them and Kylian Mbappe can even win the Champions League. But Neymar is still far from it today. He will have to prove himself again with the national team and the club. He just needs to stay clear of injuries.”
