Messi signs for PSG: Mbappé's future, reactions and last minute today, live

“Messi needs people around him to make him happy”

Guillem Balagué had one of the most outstanding interviews with Leo Messi on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. In this, Leo opened up and told about the bad moment that leaving Barcelona meant. The Spanish was the author of his biography and he has been interviewed in Le Parisien, where he tells interesting things about the Argentine.

How is Messi in private: “Leo always needed to be surrounded by people he could trust. Little by little these people disappeared and over time he began to feel more secure. Leo is not the same today. He matured thanks to his children. At Barça, the players were very close to him. I was happy with this “protection”. But Messi in public is not at all the same as in private. And when he feels good with someone, like Luis Suárez from the beginning, he becomes his best friend “

Relationship between Messi and Neymar: “There is one important thing: a sense of humor. Neymar makes Messi laugh a lot, like Luis Suárez. They both like to make a lot of jokes. Especially Neymar. Messi has a sense of humor, but he is more serene. He has gone from being a child. you need protection from someone you need to be with people who appreciate what you do. This is also Paris's choice: it's about having fun, enjoying yourself, not just talking about goals, etc. You need to have those people around you who do it happy”

Importance of wardrobe: “Mentally leaving Barcelona is difficult, but the union with PSG is perfect. He is surrounded by the best players, which is important. And besides friends. Di María, Paredes and Neymar constantly exchanged messages to convince him. As for Ramos , who has been his rival on the field, they recognize their desire to win, their hunger for victory. Sergio Ramos is from Seville, he has a funny character. They can get along well “
