LIGUE 1 - Arnaud Kalimuendo amazed by the professionalism of Lionel Messi

Playing under the jersey of RC Lens (4 goals in 12 matches), the striker loaned by Paris Saint-Germain Arnaud Kalimuendo was nevertheless able to participate in several training sessions with the new big recruit of the club of the capital : the six-times Argentinian Ballon d'Or Lionel Messi.

In an interview with Onze Mondial, the young and talented striker said he was impressed by the ethics of La Pulga in training.

“I trained with him for two weeks. I immediately understood that he was very, very high level. He never loses the ball. No kidding, I was watching him in practice and I was like, "Has he ever lost a ball?" However, he was given well-supported passes, but the ball remained stuck to his foot.

He sees everything before everyone else, his head is always moving, he watches everything. Beyond that, his professionalism impressed me. He comes super early in training. I arrived early, but he arrived before me with Paredes and Di Maria. With all he has already accomplished, he continues to be demanding of himself. That’s what has kept him so high, for so long, ” he said in the magazine’s columns.
