Rakitic on whether Vidal played more because he was Messi’s friend: There were decisions that I didn’t want to understand | Soccer

–

The croatian Ivan Rakitic left the Barcelona and became the new reinforcement of Sevilla, after not being considered by the new culé coach Ronald Koeman.

Let us remember that in the last season, Rakitic lost prominence in the team because Arturo vidal began to gain more minutes in the starting lineups.

In conversation with Radio Marca, the midfielder was consulted on this issue, in particular, if ‘King Arturo’ had taken his position away for being the friend of Lionel Messi.

The Croatian avoided going into details, but delivered an answer that left more doubts than certainties.

“That I do not know. I always wanted to be available to the coach and there were decisions that I did not want to understand, but I had to do it for the group… ”, he launched.

Regarding Messi, the player added that “he did not talk to me about his departure. I have found out through the media ”.
