Messi used to stand back respectfully when the Brazilian legend hit the ball; Former coach
Messi is one of the football legends of the contemporary world. With the World Cup title in addition, the Messiah has won all the main titles at club and international level.
Having won the Ballon d’Or, known as world football’s most elite award, seven times, Messi also tops the Ballon d’Or 2022 prospect list for the best male player.
Former Barcelona coach,Juan Carlos Unze, has come forward by highlighting the respect Messi had for the club’s legendary players during his first time at Barça.
“When Messi first joined our team, legendary players like Ronaldinho, Deco, Rafa Marquez, etc. played with Messi at the club. They take free kicks and set pieces brilliantly.
When Messi hits the ground, these three players take set pieces and practice. “But Messi did not join them and was watching their training with the ball,” said Juan Carlos Unze.
“I asked Messi why he didn’t come to training. Messi then replied that these are their minutes, not mine. Messi was 16 at the time, but he didn’t need to be told to respect the legends,’ he added.
In an interview with Barça Universal, Juan Carlos Unze spoke about his past experiences with Messi.
In 2005, Messi was promoted to Barça’s senior team and had the opportunity to play alongside stars such as Ronaldinho, Deco and Samuel Eto’o.
The player moved to PSG due to a lack of harmony with Barca management and club president Laporta. There are reports that Messi will leave the French club, whose contract at PSG expires this season.
