Former coach of the Uzbekistan national team, Argentinean specialist Hector Cuper, well-known in world football, shared an interesting memory related to Lionel Messi. His words aroused great interest among football fans.
Cuper once worked for various clubs in the Spanish La Liga. In particular, talking about one of his periods at Racing, he once again emphasized how unique Messi is.
When I worked at Racing, I trained my players for only one thing for a whole week before the match against Barcelona: to block Messi's left foot. "I told everyone over and over again: if he comes at you, don't let him use his left foot, if necessary, use his right," Cooper said.
However, the result was not as expected. The legendary Leo used his right foot instead of his left foot in the match and scored two goals. According to Cooper, this incident once again showed him Messi's versatility and talent in football.
"I thought his main strength was his left foot, but he showed that he could score a decisive goal with his right foot at any time. After that day, I realized that it was almost impossible to lose Messi," the Argentine coach added.
Cooper's memory once again showed how unique and unpredictable Messi's football is. This story further highlighted the versatility and extraordinary skills of Lionel Messi, one of the greatest strikers in the history of football.
