According to Clarin, Argentina's biggest newspaper, the relationship between Sampaoli and the players is totally, totally broken. And it's been since they moved to Barcelona.
Some players even asked Claudio Tapia (AFA President) to take Sampaoli out and set Jorge Burruchaga as the manager. But Tapia refused.
They have a lot of connections and I believe this is true. And it explains why some players are playing the way they are.
As Guardiola said once "Messi always plays well, excellent. If he's not doing it well, the reason is that there's something that doesn't make him feel comfortable"
