The Portuguese defender Nelson Semedo provided details about his departure from Barcelona in the middle of 2020, despite being one of the important pieces of the team and what the board told him at the meeting.
“When I returned from vacation, I came to Barcelona with my family and I talked, as I usually did. They explained to me that the club has some financial problems and I was one of the players who could go out and guarantee some money. There were several players in the same position as me. Suarez, Vidal, Rakitic… “, said to telegraph now the player of Wolverhampton from England.
In the conversation with the English press, Semedo talked every day with the Argentine Leo Messi and surprised with his confession.
“I really don’t have many words to describe how good he is. Do you know what makes him even more amazing? I’ve never seen him throw a free kick in practice all the time I’ve been there. I swear he didn’t. I’ve always practiced shooting from afar, but MESS he never committed a foul. It was only natural for him. They say that the practice is perfect, with him it was not practice and yet it was perfect! “He added.
The defender wore the Barça shirt for three seasons, adding a total of 124 games, 2 goals and 6 assists.
He remembered his debut with Barça, he remembered what he was thinking when he saw Leo beating rivals.
“In one of my first matches in Barcelona, MESS he caught the ball and passed three, four and then five players. Unconsciously, I was on the field thinking, “How can this guy do that?” It makes good players look bad. “
