MESSI TREATS US LIKE CONES - UMTITI

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has admitted that Legendary Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi treats he and his teammates like cones during training.

"He has so much ease on the ball," Umtiti told France Football. 

"His talent is innate although he works a lot. In training he does things that are out of the norm.

"Sometimes he dribbles past everyone as if we were nothing more than cones, including me".

Umtiti who said he was unimpressed with Barcelona's style of play during Guardiola's time at the club feels the attacking style under the current boss is much more exciting than it was under the new Manchester City manager.

"It was less passionate," the defender claimed. 

"I said to my friends, 'I adore Barca but when they keep possession for 10 years it's boring'. Later their play changed again."
