Group owners are online! Rakitic: Enrique teaches us how to prevent Messi. I said you are smart, so come

Former Barcelona midfielder Rakitic retired. He accepted an exclusive interview with the Daily Sports Daily and reviewed his career in a red and blue robe. As the "Plum Blowing Group Leader" mentioned by fans, Rakitic has brought new "works".

You played with Messi. I think it's worth telling your grandchildren...how is your relationship with Messi?

Rakitic: "Messi doesn't even know that he has the ability to conquer people's hearts with his existence. This is also a pure quality of him. I always say to him: 'Messi, you don't know how much impact your teammates can have on your simple move. That's unimaginable.' Many of us are playing in Barcelona, of course because we love Barcelona, but also because we love being able to play on the same team with Messi. Because we know that he is here, we Can enjoy the game. Messi is admirable... it is admirable. It is a kind of enjoyment in training. I used to experience his excellence when I played against him in Seville, and later at Barcelona I finally enjoyed the fun of being with him. Now I can still see his ability. He has brought up American football enthusiasm in Miami International and has enhanced the influence of football. And you see he is very happy, and he enjoys it very much. "

Is he the best player you have ever met?

Rakitic: "Of course. Not only what I have seen, but also the great players in history that I have never seen. I'm sorry I haven't seen them with my own eyes as a superstar like Maradona or Pele, but there is only one Messi in the world. He started playing football when he was young and has been doing the same incredible things. I always remember the scene of us grouping up with him in training. Enrique always said, "Be careful, he is the left-footed player, he is the left-footed player." "I responded to him: "Since you are so smart, please beware of him." "Then Messi first took the right, then turned the ball to his left foot and made all the moves you could imagine. He used to be, and is still unstoppable now."

Messi is also very competitive, right?

Rakitic: "He had a minor friction with Enrique. But in the end they were as good as before. Because when two people with strong personalities were together, there could always be some complicated situations. When everything went well, small things didn't matter. But when you think it was a little worse here and a little worse there... Sometimes we disagree in some situations, things are easy to happen and spark it easily, but this is normal. Because without these, the easier thing might be to stand by and watch. I think this also shows what everyone cares most about, first of all, football, and of course secondly, Barcelona and our style of playing."

Has Messi always been very close to you?

Rakitic: "I remember that he was one of the first people to say to me 'If you need anything, tell me'. I can't say that I'm a close friend like Suarez or Alba, but I always feel a lot of support from him. He knew that besides my admiration for him, I had a great respect for him. We sent the kids to the same school, and we lived in Casteldefers near Barcelona, and lived very close. To me, he was a friend, a friend I could talk to, and he would tell me if he needed anything. We both respect each other very much."
