The Italian coach of Naples, Gennaro Gattuso, addressed the way in which the Barcelona star, Lionel Messi, can be stopped in a sarcastic and laughable style, when he told the Spanish newspaper "Sport": "I can stop Messi in my dreams, or when I play the Playstation for my son, to play a match between Naples And Barcelona. "
Gattuso's comments came before Napoli faced his opponent Barcelona on August 8 in the second leg of the Champions League 16 round, at a time when the first leg in Italy had ended in a 1-1 draw.
Gattuso added: "I really tried to score against Barcelona, when I was playing with Milan, and my weight was less than 10 or 15 kilograms from now ... It will be a great and different match, and we should not think that the goals should be scored, but we must reach Camp Nou With raised heads. "
He continued: "Barcelona depends on quality, so we have to play as a team and trust our chances ... we know the match will be difficult."
