Messi criticizes vice president at Barcelona 12/20/2013 9:30:18 PM BARCELONA, Dec 20: Lionel Messi criticized a Barcelona vice president today for saying the Argentina forward didn't deserve a better contract. Javier Faus, the vice president in charge of Barcelona's finances, said two weeks ago he didn't see a reason to further extend Messi's contract. Last year, the club extended the 26-year-old Messi's contract through 2018. "Mr. Faus is a person that doesn't know anything about football and wants to run Barcelona like a business, which it isn't," Messi told Catalan radio RAC1. "Barcelona is the best team in the world and deserves to be represented by the best executives. "I remind him that neither I nor any of my representatives have asked for a contract extension at any moment, and he knows that very well." Messi is Barcelona's all-time leading scorer and a four-time FIFA world player of the year. He is in Argentina recovering from a hamstring injury and expected to return to Barcelona in January.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
