It's the news of the day, Lionel Messi has been interviewed by Zinedine Zidane, in an interview organized by Adidas. The French legend asked Messi interesting questions, which have already gone viral.

The most striking thing about the interview was how Messi expressed himself about Maradona: “For us Argentines the number '10' is very special. You talk about '10' and you automatically think of Maradona. Although no one became like him, the illusion and desire was always that. He is our reference and our idol. “My children already know about him without ever having seen him.”

Not everything was joy, because Lionel Messi explained that the 10 has been lost in the current era of football: “The 10 was lost. Before it was reflected in the hook, the playmaker. There are many teams that play 4-3-3 and there they are more interior than 10. Or the linear 4-4-2 does not fit either. It is true that there are few left. Today they are transformed into false interiors or extremes. Our 10, the Argentine, the hitch, Riquelme, Aimar…"

Messi kept on talking about number 10:

"There is little of that or none at all.  In that way, the training of those players was lost. Before, he spent a lot of the game wearing the number 10 or carrying the entire weight of the team. The number 10 is still a special shirt."
