The last week Marcus Rashford adopted the media costs for the first time since arriving in Barcelona on loan from Manchester United. After deepening the cultural differences between English and Spanish football, Rashford has now given the lowdown on some of his teammates.
Speaking in an interview with Sport, Rashford Gavi called the Joker of the dressing room and Jules Kounde the best dressed. After he explained that United would do well to look at Liverpool to rebuild their side, he also mentioned Virgil van Dijk as the most difficult defender he has to deal with.
In the meantime, he confirmed that he would give the Ballon d'Or to one of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha or Ousmane Dembele, and that he and Barcelona wanted to win all the titles that are available for them this season.
“Yes, he is the most talented player I have ever played for his age. I have not seen or seen with the impact he has at stake. Perhaps Ronaldo Nazario, 'the phenomenon'. To have that influence on the field at such a young age and so consistently is incredible. He has a long career for him, and even he has a long. '
Rashford has been full of praise for Pedri since he arrived and explained that the 22-year-old played the game at his own pace.
“If you didn't know his age, you would think he was 28 or 29 because he is very mature and perfectly understands the game. He plays at his own pace, and that makes it easy for strikers to keep up with him.”
When asked to call the most underrated player, Rashford chose midfield partner Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman has been selected in the past as one of the best players in training by other teammates.
“It's hard, everyone is very good. But for what he does for the team, I think Frenkie.”
Rashford has now been to Barcelona last month and works under Hansi Flick, it is clear that the German manager has made a big impression on him.
“He is a very direct coach. That is important, especially with so many young players in the team, where the direction must be clear. His motivation is very high to do better than last season. That is the key to believe that the team will be successful. He is a special coach who knows how to work with special players. I am enthusiastic.”
The International in England made his debut on Saturday for Barcelona against RCD Mallorca, while the Blaugrana rode a 3-0 win. Rashford came from the bank and had few opportunities to get on the ball or to show his quality, but made a few promising runs.
