Ex-Barcelona player Luis Suarez recalled how his teammate Lionel Messi called him fat during one of the matches for the Catalan club.
Suarez was quoted as saying by fcbarcelonanoticias.com:
Luis Suarez
Luis Enrique wanted Messi to play as a false nine because he was used to that position and Neymar and I were on the flanks, but he saw that it didn’t work. Messi told me, ‘Oh fat man, stay in the nine position, and I’ll open the pitch for you on the right side.’ And that’s the start of the MSN.
The 36-goal striker scored 17 goals and made 11 assists in 33 matches in the Brazilian Serie A and helped Gremio to second place in the final table of the national championship, winning silver medals at the end of last season.
Earlier it was reported that the Uruguayan forward will leave Gremio and join Argentina striker Lionel Messi at MLS club Inter Miami.
