Nelson Semedo: “Messi never trained free kicks”

During his time at Barca, Lionel Messi stunned current Wolves player Nelson Semedo several times. Semedo especially liked the free kicks.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Nelson Semedo has been impressed by the free-kick skills of FC Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. The Portuguese, who was a teammate of the Argentine last season, said that Messi’s quality on the ball had nothing to do with the preparation in training.

“They say ‘practice makes perfect’, but he didn’t practice at all and was still a master at it,” Semedo said Telegraph about the free kicks of the world footballer.

“I haven’t seen him practice a single free kick in training during my entire time at Barca,” admitted Semedo. “I swear he never did that,” added the full-back.

Messi is currently at 658 goals in 763 games for Barca. He managed to sink 49 direct free kicks in the opposing net.
