Yeah you are right about that, he isnt the same as he was at Liverpool/Ajax, way more humble now.
I do think he is more of a leader at heart, maybe its something that will grow over time at Barca.
Are we going to lack leadership in the dressing room?

Well as many of you guys said , there's no better leaders in the team than Masche , Messi and Bravo , next to busquet , but for i really think that Suarez could be the perfect one after Masche , althought i agree with those who say that busquet even thought he doesnt seem like a strong leader but he is for real , cuz puyol and xavi cant prefer him out of nowhere ! Still Messi is my fav for that role

He´s a leader where it matter the most: the pitch. The way messi performs inspires and assures all his colleagues.

He was talking about Suarez. Hence "fiasco".

Messi is no leader, he is an introvert that happens to be the goat. So inspires trough his actions on the pitch but you will never see him fire up the troops in a circle or yell at them (besides Tello and Villa) like Puyol. Not a diss at Messi either, he just isnt a natural leader like Puyol or currently Mascherano.Well as many of you guys said , there's no better leaders in the team than Masche , Messi and Bravo , next to busquet , but for i really think that Suarez could be the perfect one after Masche , althought i agree with those who say that busquet even thought he doesnt seem like a strong leader but he is for real , cuz puyol and xavi cant prefer him out of nowhere !

Its the same at Brazil with Thiago Silva and Neymar.

That picture is misleading. The ref had called Messi over.

ter Stegen could also be a captain by the time he is 30-35. He has a strong personality. What's more, do not forget about Bartra when he is 27

also lol at the arguments that messi cannot be a leader.
if i were in the pitch and i did something wrong.. and messi comes over to me and tells me i did something wrong i'm going to listen to the guy that is the best in the world.
leadership doesn't mean you have to yell or push your teammates, a good leader gives calmness to the squad, teaches his teammates and gives opportunity.. like how messi constantly looks to feed his teammates, neymar especially.. even gives the kid a penalty here and there

That makes him a good teammate not a leader. Messi inspires trough his skills as a player not his leadership skills. Why does he have to made great at everything?

I know that Messi although he's the monster of monsters , but still he's so shy and i rarely see him yell at someone even those who beat him up and kick him all the time , the only time i saw Messi for real getting mad and starting to fight was in the match of la Liga againt Atletico when he defended Ney from Godin , and honestly ,that made that day for me double happy , i mean seeing Messi acting like that showing the beautiful connection and the sweet friendship between those two amazing talents and im very proud of them all .
back to topic : I personally think that Messi would be a great leader because simply everyone respect him and all the team have no problem calling him "The All team " like they called la liga with "La Messi Liga " ; including Enrique who finally understood that no one is above Messi in barcelona while he's still playing there .

There are different kinds of leaders though, some like Masch being very vocal and other like Messi that lead by example and through huge respect from everyone.
There is all kinds at Barca. Nothing at all to worry about.
Personally I would like to see Messi as capt but any of them deserve it.

There's plenty of leaders in the squad. Also Pique also assumed a captain role, and I think he'll replace Xavi as one of the captains next season. I can't see him regressing, he definitely matured this season.

You got that so right man , i'd love to see Ney fighting sometimes , his personality suits this kind of actions so perfectly
