All guns blazing. Messi denies rumors

FC Barcelona striker, Leo Messi came out all guns blazing in a TV interview in which he denied having ever tried to destabilize the club or ask for coach Luis Enrique to be sacked.

The striker spoke to the club' s TV channel after Barca' s 3-0 win in which he played a major role by scoring one goal and helping set up the other two for Neymar and Luis Suarez, brought a difficult week to an end.

In the wake of the previous week' s defeat to Real Sociedad, Messi had been accused of asking for coach Luis Enrique to be sacked and linked to a possible move to England. The week also saw Director of Sport, Andoni Zubizarreta sacked and club President, Josep Maria Bartomeu call new elections for the end of the season.

"I' m glad I can give my version of events," said Messi. "I' ve had to listen to how I don' t get on with a lot of people and I didn' t deny anything, because it' s always been said I don' t get on with people such as Pep Guariola, Bojan, Zlatan Ibrahimovich and so on..."

"I did not say anything that people said I did. I would never do that," insisted the striker, who was angry that stories were being spread to harm the club.

"There are people who want to cause us damage, who throw this rubbish at us and the attacks don' t come from Madrid, but from Barcelona and that hurts."

"I am tired of all of the things that are being commented, both before and now," he continued, before ruling out a transfer from the club.

"I have no intention of going anywhere, neither to Chelsea nor to Manchester City. Everything that has been said is a lie and I want people to know that everything that was said is false," insisted Messi on Barca TV. Endi
