« Neymar and Messi Are Whiners »: Robert Pires Launches a Strong Attack and Defends PSG

PSG has faced strong criticism from Lionel Messi and Neymar recently. Robert Pires believes that both players are biting the hand that feeds them.

In their statements, Messi and Neymar described their time at PSG last season as hellish and difficult. PSG responded by stating that both players wanted to stay, without providing further details.

On Canal +, Robert Pires was more direct in his criticism. « I call them whiners. When you’re a professional player, you have to handle the pressure. When you perform well, you enjoy receiving praise, and when you don’t, it’s part of the game, » he said on Sunday.

« We’ve all faced criticism, starting with me. When I arrived at Arsenal, they said, ‘Who is he? Is he here to replace Overmars? He’s no good.’ I continued to work, and it eventually paid off, » he added.
