Marcel Ritzmaier compares Yusuf Demir with Lionel Messi

Yusuf Demir is one of the greatest talents in Austrian football – fans and experts agree. Rapids midfielder Marcel Ritzmaier now compares the offensive player with Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi collected an astronomical 658 goals and 287 assists in 764 games for FC Barcelona, ​​making it the best kicker of all time for many.

Rapid kicker Marcel Ritzmaier is now locating a playful similarity between Messi and super talent Yusuf Demir.

When asked whether Demir can become a world star, Ritzmaier told the daily newspaper today: “Yes, definitely. What you read and hear everywhere does not come from anywhere. He is still very young, but has huge potential. Comparable to Messi when it comes to dribbling and his left foot. If he stays so humble in his head as he is and continues to work so hard on himself, it can be a really big one. “

Postscript: “There is definitely a similarity. Logically, Yusuf is still young. You have to give him the time to mature in his development.”

The 17-year-old Demir scored six times in 22 games for Rapid this season and scored a total of one goal every 112 minutes. Demir’s Rapid contract ends in the summer of 2022 – a farewell after the end of the season is very likely. Most recently, Demir has been linked with Manchester City, Juventus and Fenerbahce.
