Raphinha: I have never seen Messi practice free kicks but he scores them immediately. I admire Cristiano Ronaldo but his talent is different.

October 10th: Former Barcelona defender Rafinha was interviewed by CharlaPodcast, in which he talked about some topics about working with Messi.

Host: Messi is unique in his state on the court, right?

Rafinha: Messi has the ability to read the game before receiving the ball. He could tell where there was an opening just by walking and watching. Then there will be a perfect combination of technique and speed. When the ball comes to Messi's feet, he can always make the right decision. Messi is very different. Even though he seems to be walking, he is actually studying the game. He knows what to do when he receives the ball and is sure it will be a goal.

It was like he was playing football with a child. It felt like an adult kicking a child. When Messi sees a chance to score, it's a goal. He will rush directly to the goal and his passing moves are very neat. You will not see him riding a bicycle or making fancy passing moves. But the ease with which Messi can beat any defender and score is incredible. It's one of the strangest things for any player.

I have never seen Messi practice free kicks in training. It is amazing. When the game comes, he can put the ball into the goal just by standing there.

Host: How do Ronaldo and Messi look to you?

Rafinha: I really admire what Ronaldo has done, but the talent is completely different.

One day I wanted to practice free kicks, and Luis Enrique said to me, ‘Rafa, what are you doing with this? Messi and Neymar take free kicks, will you take them during the game? '

I said to Enrique, 'Thank you for your trust'
