Thierry Onti, the former French player and current coach of the Belgian team, has now commented on Lionel Messi’s performance. He said Messi is in ‘terrifying form’ at the moment.
Onti added that Messi, who does not show much interest at the start of the match and changes his style after a while, scares the opposing team’s defense. He was speaking to American sports website El Futbolero.

”Messi’s performance confuses most defenders. Because at the beginning of a match, Messi looks like he is not interested at all, but in the next moment, he changes the course and style of the game.
I have played with Messi before. It was only now that he seemed to have changed into a frightening form,’ Onti clarified.
