Why Messi is struggling at PSG – Robert Pires
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Former Arsenal player Robert Pires has revealed why Lionel Messi is struggling at Paris Saint-Germain.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Messi joined PSG on a free transfer from Barcelona last summer after the LaLiga giants declined to renew his contract.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The seven-time Ballon d&#8217;Or winner has failed to make an impression at PSG.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Argentina&#8217;s captain was recently booed by PSG fans following their elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">However, Pires believes Messi is failing at PSG because the 34-year-old is adjusting to a change in environment, which he claims is difficult for anyone, including the striker.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Speaking on LiveScore, Pires said that, “Every country has a specific way of playing its football. That is why sometimes for a manager or a player, the time to adapt can be longer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Can you imagine we talk about Lionel Messi, one of the best players in the world and look at what happened with his move to PSG in France. I repeat, it takes time to adapt. Even for Messi it has been difficult because Ligue 1 is more physical than LaLiga.”</span></p>
