10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[FCBarca]

I find the Brau/Leo issue a bit odd...Considering how much success Messi had paired with him throughout Pep's tenure, would be unusual to deviate from that recouperation with a different physio...This statement from Leo, rather than clearing it up or putting the rumours to bed, leaves me feeling like it's to redirect the focus or media attention onto something else rather than let it build and create/exacerbate internal divisions

This would be the 3rd physio or trainer that there have been issues with some of the key players at the club - Valdes, Iniesta & now Messi...Very odd

It's Ricart from the sounds of it. From what I've read, his contract was inexplicably not renewed this season which meant Messi's personal trainer, Brau, had to fill his place.

...also from doing some digging on Ricart, he apparently was pretty close to Pep. Yet another member of that team leaving the club...

I'm telling you, it's Rosell. He seems determined to purge any resemblance of Pep and more specifically Laporta's era and it's an absolute shame.

The fact that he is making decisions that are hurting the club all over his pride is ridiculous.

I really hope Laporta beats this clown in the next election.

Bilardo (coach ARG 1986): "Messi seems to have a muscle tear. Same thing happened to Maradona before the World Cup in Mexico in 1986." [ole]

It actually seems just like the thing rosell would do, as it was Pep who put Brau with Messi.

For all the discussions on his diet causing these injuries - it says in a few reports that Messi hired a dietician this summer after his injury problems last season.

Yeah, he hired Thiago, it hasn't worked out very well.

Kinda funny, if you try to touch some parts

Cool but also kind of creepy.

Still think he is the main candidate to win the Ballon D'or.

Still think he is the main candidate to win the Ballon D'or.

The bookies don't think so. CR7 has surpassed Messi to become the 2nd favorite to win the BD, after Ribery, according to them.

I wonder how accurate the bookies' predictions had been in the past?

 

[suckabov]

The bookies are terribly overrated for events that can be predicted by using common sense (or those that can't be predicted at all). Having said that, they predicted Germany to win the Euros and Snejder to win a BDor.

voting ended today so it really doesn't matter what a player does from now on.
Most probably voted a couple of months ago anyway.

Hahaha, his brother is such a troll. You should have seen the tweet of his on a comparison of Messi V Cristiano in terms of trophies.

Great man.
