This is how Albertini met Leo Messi: "President, I do not know who he is..."

Still it is missing a time to be able to go back to enjoy of his football, but even during the stop, Leo Messi is leading. The one of Rosario enjoys of his family during the confinement and trains in his house not to lose the rhythm, while the FC Barcelona accelerates to design a project that can back to the maximum his talent. In these days of running of the bulls, besides, the Argentinian is being mentioned with frequency.

In the last weeks, several ex players have revealed how knew to the '10', that already impressed when hardly it was a recently arisen promise of the Masia. The last in doing it has been Demetrio Albertini, that after shining in an AC Milan historical, went through LaLiga before hanging the boots. In an interview conceded to 'Sky Sports', the one of Besana in Brianza has explained a curious anecdote.

The Italian landed in the Camp Nou in January of 2005, and after arriving free of the Atalanta, hardly six months sufficed him to conquer a title suspender belt and a Supercopa of Spain. His go through the City Condal did not go especially remembered, but further of the five parties contested, he confesses that there was something that marked him: "I Arrived in January, went to the field of training and was only because the team had the free day".

"Messi arrived, the president Laporta asked me if it knew who was, and I said him that no". In these circuntancias, that a footballer that finish to arrive of the Series To did not know to a jewel of the quarry could seem normal, but in his conversation adds that it did not take in understanding to what referred the president: "Afterwards, after two trainings, already understood it. It was clear that went to turn into something big".

Messi left and leaves footprint

The one of Albertini is the last of the statements on the youngster Messi, and coincides with which made his compatriot Gianluca Zambrotta. The right side commented in the same media that his feelings were very similar in his first meeting with the today captain barcelonista: "it saw that it was a pure talent, a champion. In this moment was jovencísimo, but already saw the potential that had".

On the same line it thought Juliano Belletti, that detailed as it went out badly stopped of his first together training: "Frank Rijkaard put it beside us in a 11 against 11 in field reduced. He was between the acting and I was to title. Iniesta signalled it to me and asked me if it knew him. I said him that no and it warned me, 'Care, eh!'. In the first ball that received, already thought, 'Curse, this boy is a brave!' Had only 16 years! Afterwards, when I prepared me to mark it and steal him the ball, he already had happened and annotated the goal. It went through me on".
