Lionel Messi has been accused of eating too many pizzas which caused the dip in form that he endured in the 2013/2014 season
Lionel Messi faced a dip in form last season and while the reason behind this is a mystery to many, one man who knows the Barcelona superstar well has come out and offered the world his theory behind it.
The man in question is former Barcelona player Carles Rexach. Rexach, who also went onto coach the Barca team in his later years believes that Messi’s slump in the 2013/2014 season was because the player put on too much weight due to eating too many pizzas. Rexach told in his interview with Eurosport, “Before he would eat at the club and then rest afterwards, but it seems to me that last year Messi ate more pizzas than he wanted or needed.”
The world may just be having a laugh, but you never know. The guy may indeed have a point.
