LIGUE 1 - Oscar Garcia opinion on the photo of Messi and Predrag Rajkovic
In an interview with So Foot, Stade de Reims coach Oscar Garcia returned to his start to the season as well as the new Champagne project. The Spanish technician did not hesitate to react to the episode involving his goalkeeper Predrag Rajovic, who asked Lionel Messi for a photo with his son on the field of Auguste-Delaune after the Reims defeat against Paris Saint- Germain (0-2).
“It was a special atmosphere. Our supporters absolutely wanted to see Messi, which justifies the chants and all the support he has received. After that, we should not see it as a distrust of their own team. The fans were just happy to see the best player in the world come to their stadium. For Rajković, it's true that I wish it had happened far from the cameras. That being said, I can't blame one player for showing affection for another. Football is a passion and it is also good to keep an admiring gaze. Many of these players have also never had the opportunity to meet Lionel Messi, it’s nothing to blame them,” he said during the interview.
