Magical Messi

If you know atleast something about the beautiful game football then you surely know about the king of this game Leo Messi.He is the best because of his awesome combination of skills,speed,acceleration,stamina,agility,technical ability,instincts and his brilliant footballing mind.Messi is the only player with the most no. of Ballon d'or awards.He has won 6 Ballon d'or currently.Messi many times showed the world that he is the boss of the game and can play like one man army.

He has greater acceleration than anyone else on the field.That, in combination with exceptional speed, makes his dribbling a force to be reckoned with.Beating defenders is relatively easy for him because of his speed and agility, but also because of his brilliant body feints.He hesitates, accelerates, decelerates, changes direction, turns, or drops his shoulder to throw defenders off.Defenders simply don't know what he is going to do next.That is what makes him so dangerous.His dribbling is the main reason why people consider him the best,but he is much more than that.

Of course,he has fantastic technical ability.His dribbling technique of taking a lot of touches allows him to keep close control of the ball at high speeds.Furthermore,he can pass,shoot,or hit a long ball across the field with extreme ease.There isn't any hole in his technical game.

But many players have technical ability equal to Messi.But the thing that sets him apart from these players is his vision on the field.He sees things that other players don't,opportunities many others wouldn't even consider.He makes passes that most players would never think to even try.I think his passing game is highly underrated.He's actually extremely unselfish.I've seen him make through balls like his former teammate Xavi Hernandes,who has known one of the best for his fabulous vision and assisting ability.Messi isn't just a dribbler,but a passer who can provide assists for his team.

Beyond the assists, he has scoring instincts.He has natural scoring ability.Messi knows how to get the ball past the keeper better than anyone else but similar like Ronaldo.When he gets a scoring opportunity,he finishes it.His conversion ratio of chances created to goals scored is phenomenal.And when it comes to determining who is the best in the world,the number of goals you score is something that is given a lot of weight.If you score more goals than anyone else,people will start to believe you are the best.

Lastly,I think the players around him are a large reason why Messi became the best.Without the likes of Iniesta and Xavi providing him with stellar service,he probably wouldn't have reached the very heights of football.Barcelona is a team that is suited perfectly to his style of play.The players around him make him better.Messi likes to play slowly and methodically for a large portion of the game,then explode in a fury of activity.You'll see him walking a lot when he plays for Barcelona because they have possession for so long.He gets to save his energy for the time when there is a scoring opportunity.But when he plays for Argentina,he struggles a little bit more because the style of play is different.He doesn't have brilliant passers like Iniesta and Xavi on his team anymore, and more running is required for him.Barcelona's possession-based style is tailored towards utilizing Messi to his full potential,the Argentinian national team really isn't suit Messi's playing style.

To me,he is just a pleasure to watch. Professional football is about entertaining the fans,and Messi do just that.He transcends the exorbitant amount of goals he scores.Messi is a much more special player than just a goal-scorer.He's a creator,an artist,and a footballing genius.That is why he is considered as the greatest.Forms come and go but magic and class remains constant.Messi will always be one of the greatest of the game.End of story!

HUGE RESPECT TO THIS MAN!

Work hard and live your dreams!
