Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier has spoken about the advice of his former coach at Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, ahead of the matches against Lionel Messi.
Kieran Trippier"Honestly, you can't stop Messi. It's funny because Coach Simeone and Leo are both Argentinian. If the coach told me anything before the matches, it was mostly simple: "pray."
It is difficult to do anything against Messi. You can't organize the game in such a way that you can stop him - that's how unique a player he is," the 32-year-old footballer was quoted as saying by Goal.
We will remind that Trippier defended the colors of "Atletico" in the period from 2019 to 2022.
