🎙️Jose mourinho🇵🇹 : "When I faced Barcelona in 2006 and I was the coach of Chelsea, Messi was playing in the starting lineup because Eto'o was injured. In training, I assigned Terry and Carvalho to mark him, but Terry said, "Why two? We have to mark Ronaldinho, he's the center of danger, but Messi doesn't pose a threat." I smiled and said, "Messi is better than Ronaldinho, my friend." Terry was amazed at me at that moment, but I knew Messi was a rare talent, but honestly he needed to be utilized, and Frank Rijkaard didn't utilize him. I wished I was in his place and brought out that talent in him, but with the arrival of Guardiola, Messi truly emerged, not through training or anything else, but through his confidence in him and the right place he deserved. We cannot deny that Messi never needed a coach as a talent, but from a moral standpoint, Pep was the reason for bringing out the beast inside him, and this is what made Europe suffer for years."
