Inter president Massimo Moratti believes that Barcelona’s style of play has become boring.
The Nerazzurri supremo is an admirer of Lionel Messi however, though he believes the little Argentine is the only thing which lights up the Blaugrana’s possession-based game.
Indeed, Moratti would rather see a quicker type of football, more direct and lethal on the counter attack. For the Italian, that would surpass Barcelona’s "tiki-taka" offering.
"I think watching Barca is quite annoying", Moratti told Italian daily La Stampa.
"It would be even more so without Messi", he continued.
"I prefer a more direct style of football and for it to be faster.
