This is an award for best player in the world, not best striker only. I will be shocked if something else happens tomorrow. Well, he is going to win his 7th tomorrow, and fully deserved.

New fans in last 15 years associate Barcelona and Argentina because of Messi, but he is really an anomaly. Barcelona was always fond of Brazilian players and Real Madrid for Argentines. Villareal for Riquelme days and a little bit for Barcelona. Like Inter for Zanetti and so many others playing at the same time. There are history though which has led to some soft corner for some clubs. If you don’t have our players, I don’t have much of an interest. Winning the Copa America with his country after having so many things happen to him with the national team, he finally won it. He was also asked if Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d’Or: They decide how to organize the team and my only objective is to be 100%.” And after that, it’s for him to decide with his coaching staff.

On if he is ready to put in the effort to play in that position: And with quality players at PSG like Marco, Leandro or Gana, it could be done too but those are decisions for the coach.” In 2014, I played in the middle and I felt very good, very happy. For sure I love to play with the ball at my feet. “They are questions for him, the only thing I have done since arriving at PSG is giving my maximum when I am on the pitch. He is there to decide and for us to do as well as we can on the pitch, anywhere, in the middle, up front or anywhere else. The coach knows that I could play therre but they’re his decisions.

It was my best year in 2014 with Real Madrid. “I believe I already showed that I could play in that position. Speaking in the interview with RMC, here is what he had to say when asked if he can play centrally: However, the Argentine has also played centrally for Real Madrid. Angel Di Maria spoke about playing centrally for PSG and Lionel Messi.ĭi Maria has been at PSG since 2015 and often plays on the wing for the club.
