10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Yannick03]

From Balague's book;

During the warm-up, I thought it was the whole training session Makes it less dramatic, it's like chewing gum effectively...

Will try to find the remaining piece(Next page)

That's some quality scoring.

Im pretty sure Messi will improve when he faces Neymar in a battle of two worldclass strikers. If there is competition for him he will evolve even further in his age.

Messi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Neymar.

Fact.

I love Neymar; he has been impressive at the confederations cup, but to say he's remotely close to Messi is laughable at best. Sorry NeyNey fans, but Messi is on a whole another level.

I always hear people saying that Messi told Guardiola to play him in the middle but the truth is that he already played as false 9 against Madrid in the previous season and this was one of our best games ever. I don´t get how people never think about that....I really doubt that Guardiola only did this because Messi told him so...

It is a well known fact that Messi didn't celebrate our 2006 Champions League win with the other players, because Rijkaard left him out of the bench. I don't know why the Troll Quarantine.
Messi acknowledged his mistake after some time, as well.

He did not want to celebrate the league win a couple of years ago against Deportivo and had to be dragged onto the pitch and missed the official photo. Because he wanted to play.

 

[Mr Hulot]

Is this a random rumor or has anybody from the club commented on it? I don't know that story you are referring to.
Anyway, I don't know if Messi is as mature as he was in 2006 now, but I think and hope that he is not the same guy.

Being that young, I think it can be forgiven. Same deal with one or two dives/on pitch incidents he had around that age. Considering that his negative aspects are few in number and related to him not playing, I don't find it to be sufficient evidence that he's a childish and power hungry person.

He did the same two years ago.

I saw the 2009 CL final again last week, even though Messi started that game on the wing, he played large sections of the match in the center as Barça's deepest man while eto'o moved to the wing.
