I Feel Fortunate To Be Messi’s Teammate – Matias Rojas

I cannot describe how it feels to be Lionel Messi’s team-mate at Inter Miami, Matias Rojas has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he has no words to describe how it feels to play alongside the Argentine forward, and he feels fortunate to be opportuned to share his days with the best player in the history of football.

Rojas added that Messi is always available for his teammates, and he talks to everyone before matches.

His words, “Leo is always there, he watches everything and he talks to us before games. He communicates more with those who can speak Spanish, he pays attention to what is happening, and he gives his opinion. We are proud to be in there, enjoying these moments. Sometimes I talk to my family to realise what is happening, but as I always say, I will not get tired of saying that we share the day with the best player in the history of football. There are no words to describe what I feel every day.”
