“Messi is such a strange character. He is different and special,” the Ivory Coast legend told BBC Sport.

“You never hear him talking a lot and he is always concentrating and focusing on his football. He is a perfect teammate and enjoyable to play with.

“You give him a pass with two or three players around him and it is so difficult to get the ball from him.

“For me, the guy has taken football to another level. He is always ahead of his opponents and his teammates.

“To train with him, he adapts to you and you have to adapt to him. When you play with him, he will win trophies. He always wants to play in all the games.”
