There is only one way to stop Lionel Messi…’Prayer’; Kieran Trippier on coaching advice

Newcastle United star Kieran Trippier has revealed the advice given to him by Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone to stop Lionel Messi on the pitch. England defender Kieran Trippier said he realized how difficult it is to defend Lionel Messi after playing against the Argentine legend in La Liga for Atletico Madrid.

Trippier spent three years with Atlético. But coach Diego Simeone also didn’t know how to defend Messi, he said.

Simeone is also Argentinian. So he used to say in pre-game meetings.. ‘You can’t do anything but ‘pray’. You can’t make plans to stop Messi. “Because he’s a unique player,” Kieran said.

“I learned a lot about myself. I enjoyed life, food, weather and everything in Spain. It’s been an incredible two years,” said Kieran Trippier.

Last day, Argentine football legend Lionel Messi came to wish a happy new year to people all over the world. Messi thanked his family, friends and fans for the new year.
