Messi is incomparable - Williams

The Brazil star says he would love to face
Argentina in a Copa Amarica semi-finals as he
would find it an honour to share a field with their
gifted No.10
Lionel Messi is an “incomparable” player who
everybody stops to watch, according to Willian .
Brazil face Paraguay in the Copa America quarter-
finals on Saturday knowing that the reward for
winning could be a last-four encounter with
Messi's Argentina.
The Chelsea attacker says it is a prospect he looks
forward to with relish, especially since he will get
to see the Barcelona superstar at close quarters.
“Messi is an idol for many people, a player of great
quality who has managed to be crowned the best
player in the world four times,” Willian told
reporters on Wednesday.
“I like to watch him play, of course. He is someone
who, when Argentina play, he has many people
stop to see him at work.
“Undoubtedly it is always great to play for Brazil
against Argentina, and if it happens it will be really
cool. Everyone dreams of playing against
Argentina.
"We are getting ready for the possibility of that
happening, but we must not get ahead of
ourselves.”
The 26-year-old admits that Paraguay could cause
Brazil significant problems, having beaten the
Samba Boys on penalties at the same stage of the
Copa America four years ago.
“Paraguay are competitive opponents, and it will
be a fight for the full 90 minutes. But as a national
team we know well how to play against these

sides,” he added.
“In the last Copa America we were eliminated by
Paraguay, but I hope it can be different this time.
Hopefully, we can play the game the way we like,
with joy and responsibility and can eliminate a
tricky opponent.”
Brazil will have to play the rest of the tournament
with captain Neymar, who has flown home after
receiving a four-match suspension for his
behaviour during and after the 1-0 group stage
defeat to Colombia.
However, Willian insists the rest of the squad have
what it takes to get on with the task at hand.
“There isn’t really any difference in our manner,"
he added. "With or without Neymar, I will try to
play my best football.
“Our total focus in on Paraguay. We just have to
be focused and attentive in what we do. We will
watch videos, get information and hopefully play a
great game.”
