Training with Messi sometimes makes you a bad player - Former Barcelona goalkeeper

Training with Messi sometimes makes you a bad player.

Jasper Cillessen who recently left Barca to join fellow La Liga side Valencia, has opened up about his three year spell at the Catalan giants.
Cillessen revealed in an interview with Spanish publication Diario AS that he "misses nothing" about his former club.
"I was not playing there, and I had no choice but to leave, as I want to play." he said. "I need to be playing matches, and not just training. Ter Stegen is a great goal keeper, and he keeps improving."

The goalkeeper made just a handful of first team appearances for Barca, playing second fiddle to arguably one of world's best, Marc-André ter Stegen.
But one thing he did learn from training sessions was the immense quality of five-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi.

When asked if training with the 32-year-old helped him improve, Cillessen doesn't exactly sound convinced.
"Sometimes yes, sometimes not so much." he said. "Messi is Messi. He can turn you into a better 'keeper but at the same time, can make you feel a little inadequate about your abilities."
One thing is for sure, Messi is just as phenomenal on the training ground as he is on the game day.
Just ask former teammate Thierry Henry, who described what the Barcelona forward is like in training when he's upset.
