Not Mbappe, Xavi Consider Neymar Plays Like Messi

DBasia.news – La Pulga or Lionel Messi is 31 now. Sooner or later, the Argentinian player will retire. His competition with Cristiano Ronaldo will end soon and it’s time for their successors.

Ronaldo is 33 and Messi 31. Later, there will be the players replacing them or at least play just like them. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker Kylian Mbappe is one of them. He is the current top-scorer of 5 Europe top leagues with 11 goals from 8 matches in Ligue 1.

However, Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona legend, has his own opinion about the player predicted to play like Messi. He is the former Messi teammate in Barcelona, and now in PSG, Neymar.

“He’s a very superior player physically. It’s impressive that at his age he has those differences, but he could also get stuck, it’s very difficult to predict,” Xavi talked about Mbappe, reported by FourFourTwo, Saturday (3/11).

“He still has no football maturity but, he could be one of the good ones. He is so strong, but that does not always work in elite football, he has to learn to think. Neymar is the player that I have seen if he manages to acquire that maturity, that might be more like Messi,” he said.
