As reported by FC Barcelona’s website, Lionel Messi spoke about his recent performance versus Atletico Madrid as well as his achievement of being the Club’s 3rd highest goalscorer of all times with 192 goals, only 2 behind Ladislao Kubala in an exclusive interview on Barça TV’s El Marcador. Messi reiterated his desire to continue making history at Barça: 【“I’m pretty calm about it. I just take it a game at a time, but obviously I’m very excited about becoming top scorer. Many years have gone by and it’s still the same player [referring to Kubala]. Hopefully I can beat his stats. I want to continue breaking records here“.】
Messi is only 24 but already is just 2 goals behind Kubala’s 194 and is moving increasingly closer to the top scorer in the history of the Club, Cesar Rodriguez (235).
Messi’s opinion however, is that: 【 “We have to take it all bit by bit, without thinking about milestones. I think the most important thing for this team is to keep winning, and keep winning titles for us and the fans. This is far more important than any individual prize or statistic”.】
His 3rd goal yesterday was his 14th against Atletico Madrid in the League, and they’re his favourite victim, ahead of Sevilla (10). Yesterday he scored the 11th hat-trick of his career as a professional footballer, and his third against Athletico Madrid. As tradition dictates, the Argentinian took the match-ball home with him. “I’ll find a place to put it, alongside the other match balls I have collected” said the striker.
Messi admitted that they still have to adapt to the 3-4-3 system that Guardiola has used recently, but he’s pretty excited about it:
【“We feel pretty comfortable with it. There are some things we still aren’t doing well, just like with the previous system, but that’s OK. It takes time and practice. We still aren’t totally used to it. Personally I’m pretty happy, because up front we have more space and we can link up better with the midfield players, and receive more passes”.】
