In Barça and in the Argentine national team. “Messi didn’t push himself to play for other teams, in other countries, and he had opportunities.”
“Messi is far away. I would love to say something else. I don’t dislike Messi, but he played easy football. I saw him in a Barcelona team where they whistled for everything, where no one gave him a kick, who had a barbaric team that I played for him.

You touch Messi and he stays there.”.
