10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[raskolnikov]

Maybe us fans are to blame. In this era clickbaiting headlines means huge money since for some reason we are more interested in gossip and bs than football related relevant questions.
So obviosuly a reporter will ask stupid questions about cr7, neymar, ballon d'or, leaving Barca, epl, world cup etc. just to get a nice clickbait headline.
Logically footballers with their pr training avoid these easily (except for the Dani/Pique and Ronaldo's of the world), so interviews either get very boring like Messi's or pety and milked with responses by everyone in the weeks after.
All by all a greedy broing circus that makes football fans look into 15 year old gossiping girls.
Same reason why a marketing hypejob like Kim Kardashian gets famous for no reason or why Nicki minaj has 1000x more hits on youtbe than Stephen Hawking explaining the universe.

Messi with the 99 pr skills. His interviews are always so annoying, its extremely correct and you always get this idea that he just wants to get it over with as quickly as possible and just sits there annoyed forcing prepared answers to every question.

Something to keep in mind about this interview is that it was done by email. That's why there's a bit of a weird tone going on.

Funny thing is he got a hat trick but could of got 5 or 6. He was so unselfish and showed why unlike Ronaldo he isn't about just goals. He's about the team.

Penaldo would have got 5 or 6 so that's the frustrating thing. He preys on weak and beaten teams.

Leo and Luis are even sharing their mate (tea)

That tea-sharing part was so heartwarming

Not sure if this has been mentioned earlier, but he's now scored 30+ goals in 8 consecutive seasons.CR has done it in last 7 seasons.

Gerd Muller did it over 12 consecutive seasons, that's some record !

Gerd Müller has to be the greatest striker ever. All the records used to belong to him, he did it in a normal era, a top 5 league. Even with Pele logic he is up to nearly 1500 goals I think. Truly bossed it consistently year after year. I compare Messi in la liga currently to him back then statwise.
If Messi can leave with similair stats like he ended up producing it would be amazing. Logically preferably with twice the awards.

He has 20 goals in 2016,while he had "only" 17 at the same time period in the record-breaking 2012.

And the guy is not even in full GOAT form yet (?)ffs.Insane!

Diego Maradona on Messi's indirect penalty: "If I'd have been on the pitch for Messi's indirect penalty, there would have been punches thrown, regardless of whether it was the A, the B, the C or the D division, for sure there would have been punches thrown."

I dont think he wil ever get close to 91 again, we probably wont live to see anybody reach that.
His numbers were insane even in the summer and then afterwards he scored like a brace everytime we played for a few months.
