Former Barcelona player Rafinha: Neymar’s skills are better than Messi’s, but Messi scores as soon as he gets the ball

Former Barcelona star Rafinha (from Barcelona youth training, Thiago's younger brother) was recently interviewed and talked about MSN and his brother Thiago.

The difference between Messi and Neymar

"I used to prefer watching Neymar play rather than Messi because he was more interesting, but Messi always scored goals when he got the ball. In the tournament I won the Champions League with Barcelona, Neymar was the best player, but talking about Messi is difficult , because he is the best in history. If it comes to training, I have never seen any player do what Neymar does with the ball, no one, including Messi. His technical ability, speed... But they are obviously very different."

"When Neymar faces five defensive players, He can get past all five and when Messi touches the ball you know it's going in. In training, it's like watching an adult play with kids. Do you know what is the strangest and most incredible thing about Messi in training? In all the years we were at Barcelona, I never saw him practice a free kick, which is crazy when you think about it. Neymar would practice and then Messi would score those free kicks, which is exaggerated. "

Suarez's personality

"Suarez is a very good person, but he is a beast on the court. He's cute off the court Man, but no one on the field called me ‘bald’ as many times as he did. The premise is that most forwards are like that, they want the ball and they get annoyed if you don't pass it to them. As far as he's concerned, he's almost a different person when he comes on, unless you pass the ball to Messi, in which case he's less dissatisfied. Because he knows that if the ball goes to Messi, then the ball will go to him. "

Thiago

"My brother is very different. At 13, everyone said, ‘This kid is going to be a football player. ’ As long as he touches Ball, people can see that. That's what people said when he started playing indoor football and it was the same when he came to Barca, everyone said 'he's going to be a great football player. ’”

“His skills are very good. He is different in handling the ball and one-on-one. I have the skills, but I have to run more and he can do it with less effort. You have to know how to deal with pressure, but our parents are very responsible and when I played against my brother at Camp Nou in the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Bayern, it was our parents who had a headache.
