10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[diegomessi]

he has not played against brasil many times

 

[VivaBarca]

He has played against them a couple of times like Copa America 2007 and the earlier World Cup qualifier in Brazil.

so what would you do? messi might get injured so he does not play friendlies, that is just unfair.. Do u think Messi does not want to play the whole game? He loves his country and just like for the olympics he wants to play every game... i am confudent maradona will prove you wrong with his coaching abilities

Wht wud i do? I wudnt play him in friendlies esp when there are imp imp games cming up...
And, from wht i have understood, Messi is keen on appearing in all Arg games...coz he wants to show tht he loves and cares abt his NT not tht he doesnt but because he stayed away frm home for almost a decade so has this insecurity tht if he refused to play in sme game, ppl bck home might start questioning his loyalty...So, i feel if his manager & those concerned were to reassure him, he wudnt be desperate to play every meaningless game...i think it ll be for the good of all parties concerned.

And, i wasnt bad mouthing ur manager. U seem to have got offended.
I say it, how i see it...I said hez fat which he is and clueless as a manager & i dnt think any1 wud dispute tht...
1) Hez handed u one of the worst defeats in Argentinian football.
2) He still plays the worst LB in the world
3) Doesnt call up players who deserve to be there on merit
4) His decisions are more based on prejudices and not on fair sense of judgement.
5) Plays his most imp player full 90 mins in a friendly
6) Half the time, hez confused & doesnt know wht to say
First he said "Argentina is Mascherano & 10 other players", thn wen he realised, Mascherano had bin playing shite for the side and leo looked like his only ray of hope...he changes it to "Argentina being Messi, Mascherano & 9 other players"
And, now I'm eagerly looking forward to his next quote...


All im trying to say is, both messi & Argentina deserves better...

And btw DM, how abt joining us on the soccermanager thing...Chck tht thread on Caffe catelonia if ur interested

Aside from a few Italians Cruyff is the only great player to succeed in management. I'm ready to be confronted with a list of names to contradict that statement though

sorry not argentine wish i was.
And im not saying maridonna doesnt have what it takes to be a good manager i jus havent seen it yet

Being a good manager is more than just knowing about football. I don't think Maradona will succeed as manager. The reason Argentina is still winning games is because they have so much talent, Maradona is a mess though.

Beckenbauer won a World Cup did he not ?

 

[Cule Angles]

...and a Bundesliga, and a UEFA Cup as well as finishing 2nd in the '86 world cup. I'll give you that one!!!

 

[VivaBarca]

Apart from Beckenbauer and Cruyff has a world class player ever been a world class manager ?

 

[Cule Angles]

Fabio Capello? Obviously I never saw him as a player but he won 4 Serie A and 2 coppa italia as during his playing days.

 

[VivaBarca]

I don't think he was in the top 10 players in the world during his playing days. Maybe he is the level below that.

Messi - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 World Player of The Year, European Player of the Year!

 

[VivaBarca]

That would be good. But I want Xavi to win one as well.
