“Do not, whatever you do, speak to Javier Mascherano when he is having one of his crazy days,” Messi said.
Speaking about his Barcelona and Argentina team-mate, Argentinian superstar explains that Mascherano comes in wanting to talk and make jokes, but he also has “crazy days”.
Messi said: “When that’s the case it’s better not to talk to him. We see him there and no one dares to say anything.”
However, Messi notes: “Masche knows how to handle each situation. He is a very positive leader. At the World Cup in Brazil I had the armband, but he was by my side the whole time, fixing each error.”
