HOT HOT Nou Camp director 'knows nothing' according to messi!!!!!!
Lionel Messi has rocked Barcelona with a fiery outburst in which he accuses one director of ‘knowing nothing about football’.
The comments are a response to Javier Faus saying two weeks ago that Barcelona had no reason to sit down with ‘this gentleman’ and discuss his current contract.
The tone of Faus’ comment was deemed inappropriate by most Barcelona fans at the time and now Messi has hit back.
Hitting back: Lionel Messi says Barcelona director Javier Faus knows 'nothing about football' after he said the club did not need to discuss a new contract with the Argentine
Speaking to Catalan radio RAC1 from Argentina Messi said: 'Barcelona is the best club in the world and should be represented by the best board members too. Senor [Javier] Faus is someone who doesn’t know anything about football and wants to manage Barcelona like a business, which it is not.'
He added: 'Besides, I would remind him that neither I nor anyone from my camp has asked for any wage increase and he knows that very well.'
Barcelona’s board are under huge pressure because of a court investigation into their purchase of Neymar and the EC enquiry into illegal state funding.
Now their star player, usually so reticent, has gone public over his very clear dislike for the current board.
