Leo Messi has always given 100% for Barça."

They find it important that if someone joins from outside, they have to show normal behavior towards the team. Whoever does not agree will not arrive in Barcelona."

You need to do more than just play along.& #39; This sounds rude, but he knew what I meant. I told him to take on more responsibilities.”

He always tries to ‘activate’ him, as Leo believes that Frenkie is a great player and can reach a much higher level. He considers Frenkie very intelligent."
