In an interview with the club, Amad was asked about the best player he’s ever played alongside.

Without hesitation, he named Marcus Rashford, affectionately referring to him as “Rashy.” However, when asked about his childhood idol, the Ivorian winger revealed his admiration for Lionel Messi.

“I think maybe because he’s left-footed like me, I want to do some things like Messi. But yeah, I like Messi, how he plays,” Amad explained.

When the inevitable question arose—Messi or Ronaldo—Amad gave his answer with a lighthearted apology:

“Sorry, guys. Lionel Messi.”
