JAKARTA - Adil Rami has a bad record against Lionel Messi in La Liga. Even though he never won, Rami said he was lucky to get five jerseys from Messi.
Twelve times against La Pulga, Rami did not record a single victory. However, Pamela Anderson's ex-partner joked.
"Indeed, I never won, but there was a draw and (chuckles) I got four or five jerseys from him," Rami told the Ligue 1 website.
"He was too strong, at that time he was always behind me. He will be in an offside position and then he will move back to touch the halfway line and then leave again.
"Now he's more of a passer, so it's easier for the defenders because we can wait.
"I don't think he can do his slalom moves so much (at PSG)."
Now, both are competing in Ligue 1. Rami is in Troyes costume, while Messi is defending Paris Saint-Germain. At the first Ligue 1 meeting last August, they had not met because Messi had just completed his move to Les Parisiens.
Rami then discussed the duet of Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
"I am a big fan of Kylian Mbappe and I am happy that he is staying at PSG because Messi will give him so many passes," said Rami.
"Honestly, if Mbappe understands his role then this team (PSG) will hurt other teams a lot."
