'To ask Messi about Griezmann after such a long journey shows a lack of respect': Barcelona boss Koeman

The coach believes the journalists are trying to create controversy between the duo.

He insists there are no problems between Leo and Antoine.

"We have to respect people like Leo Messi much more," Ronald Koeman has just stated at the press conference, quoted by ESPN.

"After such a long journey, to ask him things about Antoine shows a lack of respect. It's an attempt from the media to create controversy. I have not seen any problem between Leo and Antoine," the coach added, referring to the infamous incident the other day.

"I'm tired of being the problem of everything at the club," Lionel Messi said when asked about the interview of Griezmann's uncle about Leo 'not working hard enough' at Barca.

As various media outlets report, Leo was filling in a tax protocol for an hour straight after a long transatlantic flight which was quite a tiring thing.
