10 - Lionel Messi - v3

^ Pipita doesn't have an official facebook account.

He does have one ( https://www.facebook.com/HiguainGonzalo.Ok ) but this message is fake nevertheless.

Anyway:

That is fake.

Well having read over ten pages ...since i posted about Leo not been fit etc, i was wondering what people's thought's are about him taking say a couple of months off ! ...or getting him back and working on his fitness ?

Lucho will surely take care of that. He is a specialist in fitness.

That's nice to know ! hope they sort Leo out.

I think if it were just nerves, it'd happen prior to the match, not after 60 min. I have a hiatal hernia and reflux, and I know what a pain it is to have stomachal problems.

But sometimes it happens at the begining or during half time, so it's not always during high workout

“I think that Messi wasn’t up to standard during the World Cup. He may have scored four goals in the first few games but I don’t believe he showed he was the best player in the world by the end of the tournament.”

That looks like fair criticism to me from Kempes. Not "a smearing campaign" at all.

Suárez being banned and Neymar injured will not help him taking some time off... However, Lucho should try to avoid playing him more than necessary...

I think Leo should know by now that playing every single game and getting in petty goalscoring races is not the best for his health, so he should learn to miss a game here and there, and being subbed off when there's no need for him to be on the pitch...

That looks like fair criticism to me from Kempes. Not "a smearing campaign" at all.

I agree, Kempes is a level headed guy, who I highly doubt has any interest in taking part in a smear campaign... He has praised Leo a myriad of times in the past, and he's not blaming Leo for anything here, he's just saying Messi didn't show he's the best player in the world, which is a very valid point...

B) Jumping on the bandwagon is so easy. This guy is the one that calls himself the football journalist hipster, together with Sid Low they have this football talk that lasts a couple of minutes on youtube. Look at the picture, 3 of the guys are already turning away, Biglia and Messi are two of them. To me it looks like Masch's motivation talk was already over. But it is better to upload the picture / retweet it, as it fits to the story perfectly. Having an original opinion / thought is rare these days. While it was always clear that Masch was the leader in persona and Messi the leader in the game, they tend to stretch the story. I too believe that a captain should have the ability to lead his team by motivating them with talks / tackles / attitude / strength. Just as Puyol always did. Therefore, I think whether Ronaldo nor Messi should be captains, they lead there team in the game by their genius not their leadership skills! There are leaders and there are thought leaders in the world! Incredible, how media wants to rip Messi apart... Hope his answer is another record breaking season.

Did't Messi do the teamtalk against Netherland?

Exactly. People with their agenda. .

Whatever. They can go on with their blah blah blah and nobody gives them a rat's ass.

Messi took the team talk in the tunnel before 2nd half started as well in the final.

Who cares? Messi is no captain, that's a fact

More hard talk at Messi. This smear campaign is picking up momentum. Even those remote voices like Mario Kempes have joined the crime.

“I think that Messi wasn’t up to standard during the World Cup. He may have scored four goals in the first few games but I don’t believe he showed he was the best player in the world by the end of the tournament.”

Kempes in his day, unlike Messi, had top class junta support. Anyone from the '78 Argentina squad mouthing off surely has a lotta balls.
