Barcelona star Lionel Messi insists he does not pay attention to the criticisms his performances for Argentina receives. Messi has failed to replicate his successes at Barcelona with the national team and has often been a victim of criticisms. Apart from the regular jibes that comes from the ‘Ronaldo party’, some of Messi’s own countrymen have been hugely critical of him.
“The criticism I receive is not something I care about because I know about the things that happened,” he said.
“I understand the people who always want us to win and demand that we deliver a trophy.
“But those of us who play for the national team want to win a title too.
“The Olympic gold in 2008 is the win that I value the most because it is a tournament that you may only play in once in your life and involves many athletes from different disciplines.”
The 29-year-old came in for more scrutiny after receiving a four-match ban for verbally insulting an assistant referee during a 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Chile last month.
