What conversion for Messi?
” Even if he can sometimes give his opinion when the coach asks him, he is not the type to then intervene in the tactical reflections of a coach and his staff or with his teammates in the locker room. “, explains the Spanish journalist in an interview granted to 20 minutes before imagining Lionel Messi in the shoes of a sports director.
“He will remain in football, but no longer as a sports director”
” But when you talk about football with him, you realize his knowledge of the game, he analyzes well and very quickly, he watches a lot of matches, mainly the Argentinian and Spanish championship. That’s why I think that once his career is over, he will stay in football, but more as a sporting director than as a coach because he is above all someone who knows how to recognize talent in others. », adds Guillem Balague.
