Paris –
Lionel Messi do not argue Marco Verratti have the same quality Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta. He will work hand in hand with Verratti in the Paris Saint Germain.
Messi has been introduced as a new PSG recruit, Wednesday (11/8/2021). La Pulga joined PSG on a free transfer after ending his service with Barcelona for 21 years.
Messi is now preparing to adapt to his new team-mates at PSG. Les Parisiens have a row of quality midfielders who are ready to support Messi.
One of PSG’s main mainstays in midfield is Marco Verratti. This Italian player is equipped with the ability to take off passes and set the rhythm of the game very well. Quoted from WhoScored, Verratti has an average passing accuracy of 91.7 percent in Ligue 1 2020/2021.
Messi also acknowledged the quality possessed by Verratti. He did not hesitate to say Verratti has the same level as the two former Barcelona mainstay midfielders, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta.
Messi built an excellent partnership with Xavi and Iniesta at Barcelona. The collaboration of the three was able to bring Barcelona to the peak of glory in 2009.
Blaugrana swept six titles or sixtuple in that year. They won LaLiga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
“Without a doubt,” said Lionel Messi when asked if Verratti’s quality is on par with Xavi and Iniesta in his introductory press conference at PSG.
“Verratti has shown that he is a big player, one of the best in the world in his position. He is a phenomenon,” added Messi.
