Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has talked about the good relationship he shares with club-mate Neymar.
In the interview, Messi begins by recalling that he knew about the Brazilian even before signing for Barcelona. Messi, who celebrated his 29th birthday this week, also said that he maintains contact with the Brazilian players with whom he played together at Barcelona.
Messi said: “I already knew Neymar from his time at Santos. I even met his father long before, when I went to a party of Deco. I was so surprised by Neymar’s personality. He was very young, still very young, so cheerful, a boy without malice and an amazing person. Neymar always tells me that he’s my fan. It makes me a little blush, because he says on my face that he’s a big fan of me. Even since arriving, I realized that when Neymar said he’s my fan, he meant it. It was what I felt. It made me very happy that a guy like Neymar said those things about me and we maintain a good relationship until today.”
Messi added: “When I came to Barcelona I was very young, as happened to Neymar. Ronaldinho and all Brazilians who were here at that time treated me kindly. Neymar integrated very fast to the group, thanks to the kind of person he is. The truth is that I had a very good relationship with all of them and still maintain contact with Ronaldinho, Deco, Motta and Sylvinho.”
Messi was then asked if the Brazilian would have a place in the Argentine national team. Messi said: “Anywhere, he’d have a place where he wants. He’s unique and he could play where he wants.”
