"Barcelona" team star Lionel Messi named the coach who had the most influence on his career.
According to the Argentine, the Dutchman Frank Rijkaard helped him the most.
"All coaches left their mark, but I can name Rijkaard as the most important one.
If he hadn't taken me to train with the first team at the right time, maybe I would never have played for "Barcelona".
I always said that he was a very significant person, because he trusted me and let me show myself in the main team", spoke the football genius who debuted in the ranks of "Barcelona" at just 16 years old.
