Although Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already found the back of the net twice for Barcelona, Lionel Messi is reluctant to say that he will be as big a success as Samuel Eto'o was.
The 21-year-old did not deny that the former Inter striker was an outstanding player, however, and is interested to see how he will adapt to his new surroundings.
"Ibra is a high quality player, but he plays differently to Samuel," Messi affirmed to Sport.
"He is new and must integrate himself into the team and us with him so that we can understand each other better.
"Besides his quality, he is very big physically. We will see how he adapts to his new role at Barcelona."
Ibrahimovic will come up against his old club when the Blaugrana face Inter in the Champions League tomorrow evening at the Giuseppe Meazza. It will be then that Messi and the world's viewers will see just how dedicated he is to his new side as his old fans prepare a cold reception for their erstwhile idol.
