Wayne Rooney doubts whether Lionel Messi would shine in the English championship.
During an interview with "talkSPORT" he said: "If Messi came to England with Xavi and Andres Iniesta, then yes, he would still be able to play at that level. But without them, it would be difficult, practically impossible to do what he does in Spain.
Football here is more based on physical strength. This is evidenced by clubs like "Birmingham" and "Stoke". Cristiano Ronaldo is more suitable for the "Premier" league, as he is taller and plays well with his head."
He added: "However, "Barcelona" definitely has the best team, and Messi is the best football player. I can only do what he does in reality while playing "Playstation". The Argentine's body is incredible, as is the speed of his feet."
