Cruyff Jr.: When you have Messi, it doesn t matter if your opponent plays 25 defenders

Daily Sports Daily interviewed former Barcelona sports director Cruyff Jr., who talked about Messi. He said that when you have Messi, it doesn't matter if your opponent ranks 25 defenders.

What are your situations when you first arrived at the club? How to analyze and formulate what route?

Cruyff Jr.: "When you have Messi, it doesn't matter if your opponent puts 25 defenders. Just give him the ball, and he will solve everything. But obviously, when you lose such a player, the slower the progress and the closer the opponent's defense line shrinks, the more difficult the game will be. Without this special creativity, football will become extremely difficult. Especially in European games, we realize that the defense after losing the ball has not met the standards."
