The interim coach at Real Madrid, Santiago Solari has heaped praises on Lionel Messi of Barcelona. According to him, the earth shakes and the air trembles when the Argentine holds the ball.
Solari is currently seating pending when the club will find a replacement for Julen Lopetegui who was sacked yesterday.
“Scoring is intrinsic to Messi in the same way that storms, lightning or hurricane wins are atmospheric phenomena,” Mirror UK quoted Solari as saying.
“Every time Messi receives the ball the earth shakes, everyone is silent and rival coaches sink their heads between their shoulders and put their hands in their pockets, like someone who has just seen lightning and has no choice but to wait for thunder. The air trembles a few seconds. Then the goal is heard.”
Real Madrid will take on Valladolid in their stadium on Saturday in the La Liga after losing 5-1 in the El Clasico fixture against Barcelona last weekend at Camp Nou.
