Google is ur frnd. U guys luv to b spoonfed.

Anyways,former Chelsea player Didier Drogba has spoken on the performance of Lionel Messi so far this season as a fan fabulous one. Lionel Messi is an hero, I have played with him for some time so I know he is a god and powerful player.

Lionel Messi is an incredible player on the pitch following his incredible performances while he played against mg formal club Chelsea said Former Chelsea player Didier Drogba according to a speculation.

Lionel Messi is said to be known for his incredible performance, his wide dribbling skills, his long range legs which appear to conquer his opponent on pitch.

Didier Drogba also said that the Catalan player Lionel Messi shouldn't be compared to any other player in the world because of his incredible performance on pitch and outside pitch as well.

Former Chelsea player concluded that, Lionel Messi is a strong, fast player while dribbling accrued with his goal mentality, He is the greatest I have ever played with following his incredible performance.

You guys like making silly references. You just go to one useless blog and start posting unverified nonsense. Can you grow up and use your head.

BTW I didn't see any reference to where he dribbled 11 opponents as you claimed in your initial post.

Go and get a life and stop disturbing us with your incoherence.

alfredilly:


I'm sure you never witnessed the era in reference, or you simply weren't mindful of it enough. I first saw Ronaldo in 2001 or 02. It was in an age group match with England. He scored both goals as England fell 2 nil. But what caught my attention wasn't the goal. It was the skill display. Stylishly and slowly, he cut deftly through the England defence. Seeing the name Ronaldo made me Marvel at the coincidence. It was the era of the Brazilian superstar. He completed in several age group competition for Portugal and emerge top goal scorer in each of the competition. I even read recently that in 2001, he was named by the FIFA dou of blatter and platini as the best young player around.

The second time I saw Ronaldo was in 2003. Man utd was playing sporting Lisbon in their last pre season campaign on the heel of impressive win over Barcelona and Juventus. The game held in Portugal to mark the opening of sporting stadium. United lost 3-1 and Ronaldo was the star of the night. So much was the skill on display that united player put pressure on Ferguson during their flight home to sign him.

Messi competed in 2005 under 20 and what he showcased never match what I saw of Ronaldo three or four years earlier. His dribbling improved exponentially why Ronaldo decline started as soon as he joined Manchester United and I remarked about it earlier. A friend of mine called it improvement and I didn't argue. The reason I noticed was the role Ferguson entrusted on him. On his first match, Ronaldo took everyone spell bound. United was struggling to beat Bolton Wanderer and then the 18 years old was brought in as substitute. Every touch of the ball was a skill exhibition. The commentator were flaggerbasted. He did magic on each occasion and in the end, united won 4-0. Three of the goal came through his assist, the last of which was a penalty after he was fouled.

But Ferguson had one thing in his mind, it was to replace Ronaldo with the newly departed David Beckham. After losing his target Ronaldinho to Barcelona in a last gasp switch, Ronaldo became his ideal man. But Ronaldo was more adept with the left flank. He only switch position when he so pleased during the match. His first united match was also started from the left and later, he switch to right, Ferguson had no intention of giving him such free role. He was to replace David Beckham, the right wing legend, and so in subsequent matches, Ronaldo was confined to right wing. What was the result, his game continue to change. The slow stylish dribbler began to run with full speed. His dribbling was only showcased in quick step over and gradually, he metamorphose to a player in likeness of David Beckham. Run, set piece and goals.

Do you believe Ronaldo only had three goals in sporting Lisbon despite his heroic status.
To be fair, I never watched Ronaldo at Sporting Lisbon.

I'm using you to catch cruise and you are already sweating. Bros life is not that hard.... drink plenty water this morning, you'll be fine trust me.

You'all sha like chest beating, stand up to you in real life... that cracked me up. Trust me you'll be begging for your life if our path ever crossed. Small banter you are already losing your sanity. It seems issues of life have really delt with your deranged life. Just tell me your imaginary teams that Messi dribbled 11 opponents (he dribbled goal keeper too be that) you are telling me to ask Google, who ask Google stupid questions. Ode oshi

Can we now say it was Inesta and Xavi that gave Barca all their treble and UCL accolades, your Messi couldn't achieve anything close to that ever since those 2 left.

You are yapping dust. Why can't your Messi replicate even such prowess at their departure. Ever since Inesta left your Messi hasn't won any trophy outside his domestic league. I keep saying it, he should leave that barca if he sure for him, person wey dey fear to leave.
