The PSV midfielder discussed how the Argentine would fare in Italy with his team-mates during his time at San Siro, and concluded he would not be well suited to the division

PSV midfielder Mark van Bommel has revealed that he and his former AC Milan colleagues believed Lionel Messi would struggle in Serie A.

The forward failed to shine in Barcelona’s 2-0 defeat to AC Milan on Wednesday night, with the Rossoneri taking all the plaudits for silencing the infamously deadly Blaugrana attack.

Van Bommel, who spent the 2011-12 season at San Siro, has claimed that he and his colleagues at Milan were of the opinion that Messi would struggle to score more than 30 goals in a campaign if he played in Italy.

"Three quarters [of the changing room] thought he would score definitely less [than 30 goals a season in Serie A]," Van Bommel told Algemeen Dagblad.

"And that's me included, yes. Serie A is just a very different approach to football. You can still neutralise sides like in no other league.

"It was only last year that Messi scored his first goal against an Italian club. This is no coincidence."

Van Bommel also added that he enjoyed his year at Milan more than his season with Barca, though he puts that down to footballing expectations.

"At Barcelona I had a great year, but the affection at Milan was huge," the former Netherlands international added.

"Perhaps it was also about how I arrived at the club. I was brought in as a big name. But at Milan, I was able to apply myself, I think, in terms of football but also as a human being, and I had a great time.”


Van Bomm :D

under 30 goals literally allows the likes of Cavani, Di Natale and Ibra in Serie A to possibly pip him to the title :proud:

Mark van Bommel fights the tears during a TV interview on the 2010 World Cup final
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013


What a woos!

Mark van Bommel, a footballer who is best known for being a hardman who never minds getting stuck in, showed his softer side on Dutch TV this week when he had to fight back the tears when discussing the 2010 World Cup final.

35-year-old van Bommel, now with PSV, was being interviewed by Dutch host Johan Derksen when discussion moved onto how Holland lost the World Cup in South Africa.

Van Bommel immediately welled up. Hugging himself as if to stop an internal explosion, allowing for long uncomfortable silences, and shuffling his feet like a naughty schoolboy, van Bommel commented: “Yes, that lost World Cup final is the biggest frustration from my career.”

Watch Mark van Bommel cry below.

Haha that last video. It made me laugh so hard when I watched that match. I want to see Ibra do that to Messi tonight. :lol:

Is it confirmed? He will take a place in management?


And then we’ll see you again next year with Eindhoven against FC Bayern in the Champions League?
Hopefully yes. Although, better not, Bayern are a bit too good for us at the moment. (laughs)

He didn't confirm it yet, but everthing indicates so. Too bad, he still is doing well. It's just.. the Dutch (pro-Ajax) media is writing bad about him everytime they get the chance to, and there's a generation gap with the younger players. Those fuckers don't respect him. There's a little revolution going on at PSV atm, everybody is tired of those young players with starlike airs. Well, Van Bommel will probably train the youth of PSV for a couple years, and after that be involved with the first squad of PSV some more.

Milan should try to get Strootman, the next Van Bommel.
