Giovani LO CELSO of Argentina and Real Betis gave an interview where he discussed Angel DI MARIA, Lionel MESSI and more.
Following him scoring in a 2-0 win for Real Betis, the Argentina man gave an interview with Marca. The former Rosario Central midfielder stated that Angel DI MARIA was his idol while also talking about Lionel MESSI and his current coach. When asked about who his reference was, here’s what he had to say:
“It was Angel DI MARIA, who came from the same club (Rosario Central) as I did. He’s had a great career and he was humbled. Characteristically, we are very DIFFERENT but when I left there, he was my idol and my reflection. I took the time to thank him for everything he’s done for me. He did a lot for my adaptation in Paris. I couldn’t believe that I would share moments with him.”
In regards to Lionel MESSI, LO CELSO said this:
“There’s only one MESSI, we see it match after match. That comparison does not make sense. There’s only one, he’s Barcelona’s number 10 and he always surprises us. He fills the eyes of all football fans.”
About the goals for the rest of the season:
“We always set goals. We have three competitions and we are well positioned in La Liga, first in Europe at the moment (Europa League) and there’s the Copa (del Rey) left. There are objectives for the future, a beautiful season with a lot of excitement. It’s a very passionate city.”
When asked about his coach, LO CELSO said this:
“He likes to play a way which I like. He wants me to be a protagonist, to have the ball.”
