Togo’s Djene Dakonam on how Messi, Griezmann and Ronaldo improved his game

Getafe defender Djene Dakonam says it is always exceptional for him to face top strikers like Barcelona ace Lionel Messi as well as Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann in the Spanish LaLiga.

The 27-year-old joined the Deep Blues in 2017 from Belgian side Sint-Truidense and has continued to be consistent for the side.

He made 34 appearances for Mauricio Pellegrino’s men to help them clinch a Europa League ticket after finishing in fifth spot on the LaLiga table.
