Lionel Messi has hit back at Barcelona sporting director Eric Abidal after the Frenchman blamed slackness in the dressing room for the departure of recently-fired coach Ernesto Valverde.

In an interview with Spanish daily Sport, Abidal, said that under Valverde, who was sacked in mid-January, many players had been unhappy, hadnโ€™t worked hard enough nor communicated properly.

Now Argentine ace Messi has fired a salvo at across his own ranks just as the club are trying to get him to sign a contract extension.

โ€œSincerely I donโ€™t like doing this kind of thing but everyone has to be made responsible for their actions and what they say,โ€ Messi said on Instagram.

โ€œWe the players in the dressing room are the first to admit it when we havenโ€™t played well. The directors need to take their responsibilities too.

โ€œI believe that if you talk about the players (in this way) you should name names instead of worrying everyone and encouraging rumours that are far from certain.โ€
