“Yes, I asked for the shirt, but i think i was a little upset. Okay, I hope you give it to me next time, “replied the Canadian.
Before that game, Davies had recognized that Messi is one of his idols: “As a child I used to see it all the time, and now I face him. “
His father called him
Even his father made him realize that the day before, as he said: “He called me and said: ‘You’re going to play against your favorite player, I see.’ And I replied: ‘Yes.’ And then both we started laughing on the phone. And we honestly couldn’t believe it, because he knows that he admired Messi when he was younger, and now, playing against him is very nice. “
David, 19, was born on November 2, 2000 in Buduburam, Ghana. He joined Bayern in 2018. (D).
