Tata Martino to Messi: I know youre the Barça boss & can have me fired with 1 phone call. All the skeletons are coming out of the closet in the wake of Lionel Messis latest conflict at Barcelona. Since he failed to show up for training after being benched against Real Sociedad, a min-storm has erupted, and tensions are at a knife edge between himself and manager Luis Enrique. Messis detractors accuse him of behaving like a dictator and acting like a prima donna, and this article from Periodico journalist Emilio Perez de Rosas makes a damning claim concerning his behaviour towards Tata Martino last season. Tata, youll recall, was brought in essentially by way of placating Messi; as a fellow Newells Old Boy, Tata was sure to sing to Messis tune. But it turns out it wasnt all happy families between them, and Tata felt forced to bow to Messis will. The passage claims that Tata pleaded with Messi to go easy on him, approaching him at training one day and telling him, within earshot of the other players - I know youre the boss around here, the main man. I know that if you want, you can phone the President and have me fired, but please, you dont have to show it everyday.
