10 - Lionel Messi - v3

Robben didnt lose speed or acceleration, he outrun pique and ramos like they were fools at age 30.

And watching Ribery in recent Games, he didnt lost it either.

What's your point? I didn't say every player.

I thought his acceleration before the 2nd goal vs Ajax was pretty amazing. That would be a recent example that Leo did not lose any of it.

Who couldnt outrun Pique really. Ramos on the other hand have decent pace.

LoL Robben at World Cup made him look like batra lol

What im trying to say, accelration can still be good even at the age of 31

The loss of Acceleration and Explosiveness is mind boggling, it should not happen at this age at all, its either the training or the injuries he had.

Agree 100%. Add lack of passion. Wonder what the fitness coaches are doing with him, he is so out of shape ...needs to lose weight aswell.

Have you even been watching him this season? He's in unbelievably good shape. Some of the moves he's pulling off are amazing.

He runs fast when he really wants to, i think its a mental thing, cause in the world cup he was sprinting past players with ease, this season too, unless its the injury he had during the el classico thats causing this.

The selective amnesia in this forum relating to Messi is very troublesome, truly. It's like Messi running riot on Ajax just 5 days ago never really happened...

The hell is that supposed to mean? Bartra has decent pace for a centerback. That he couldn't catch Bale while injured doesn't make him slow.

Nobody denies that, but he just had a bit more burst before however you look at it.. perhaps its also due to his playstyle, muscles that are not used often are not so well developed, he was very explosive in his early 20s and so on, same as Robben is now or Ronaldo or Ribery for that matter, but Messi is not, he strolls around the pitch alot, walks alot, RARELY do we see him explode and use his speed, hence his muscles are not so used to it and they deteriorated a bit in that regard, his playstyle really is odd, he should use it more to get past players like Neymar but doesn't.
