  /  autty

Lionel Messi has been blamed over the years for allegedly directly influencing decisions made at both Barcelona and Argentina, but Luis Suarez has refuted such claims and stated that such criticisms hurts his club teammate.

The Uruguay international has also made clear that the Blaugrana captain has never tried to impose his opinion.

"I see that they say that Messi doesn't want this or the other, but he doesn't say anything," he told Fox.

"Neither about a coach nor about a player; nothing.

"In the national team I think it's the same, as they asked him things and he said: 'No, don't ask me anything; take the decision yourselves'.

"We talk about all this stuff and obviously it hurts him as he is a human," Suarez said.

"A football player has to be used to the fans' criticism, but not to external criticism."
