“I can’t say much about Mourinho. I don’t really know him and have never spoken with him. I can only talk about what he has achieved, and that’s winning a lot of titles. I know that his players speak well of him, but I don’t know him,” he said.
“I always say what I think, but I do not feel the need to get myself into trouble. I’m not interested in creating conflicts or problems.
“I see no point in speaking badly of someone who I don’t really know. I prefer to be respectful toward other people.
Messi, however reiterated that he prefers to win titles than individual accolades. The 25-year-old Aregntine Maestro, says that he wants to be the ‘good guy’ and keep his reputation intact till he retires from the game.
“I prefer winning titles with Barcelona over setting new records or winning individual trophies,” Messi told El Pais. “I am more concerned with being a good person than with being the best player in the world. When I retire, I want to be remembered as a good guy. Scoring goals is nice, but I also want to have made friends among the people I’ve played with.
“Individual awards are nice and I’m thankful for winning them. But I wouldn’t have won anything without the help of my colleagues. I am fortunate to be playing for this club with all these great players. I’m just trying to help the team.”
