"(Messi) found a place where he is loved, he is happy on the football field he needs to play soccer. He looks good, we are happy to have him. If he has nothing, he will play as much as he can play, for us it is important that he is on the field. The player's DNA, especially the Argentinean player, is to try to win, to compete. It is a very good team that has a coach with a very marked line of play, it is a young team, we have seen that they have put enormous teams in difficulty".
