🚨🗣️ Novak Djokovic: "I met Messi at a restaurant in the United States. He asked me for advice about tennis. I told him: 'Please, Messi, don’t ask me that. I won’t give you any information. You dominated football and now you want to dominate tennis. No, no, play football. When I retire, then you can play tennis.'
"He laughed and told me: 'I’m lucky that football is played with the feet and not with the hands.'
"But the truth is I’m lucky Leo isn’t a tennis player, otherwise I wouldn’t win any titles. He’s the best football player of all time. I love watching him."
Los Ángeles bíblicos según Ezequiel, siempre me han dado mal rollo...
