Upon the award nobody still talks about Modric been the world best player
All they know is Messi is better than CR7... CR7 is better than Messi

darkelf:
No he isn't. He's just looking for excuses.

What was Modric's stats like last year when he won it.

Excuses upon excuses. He thought he had arrived at the tip only to discover he is just starting.

I am awaiting Neymar's excuse next

That's the bitter truth....
Now Fifa best is now the amount of goals scored and trophies carried.
They don't look at your match performances again.
The painful part is that defenders are no more recognized because they don't score goals or give assist.

Let them remember that there is a difference between Best player award and a Golden boot award

True talk

They need to find a solution to this ASAP because Messi and Ronaldo will soon retire. When they had Ronaldinho, Eto o and co, the team was not built around one man but for some years now, all the initiative for attack comes from Messi and it is not fair on him. The over-dependence on his talent is too much. In the 2nd leg game against Liverpool, I don't know how Virn Dirk and co did it.....they made sure that there was no 1-2 pass between Messi and Jordi Alba and that was it. Once Messi is clipped, Barcelonia becomes terrible. During the latter stage of the match, they were just targeting a pass for Messi to make something happen but he was already well surrounded with zonal marking. About 3 weeks ago when Messi was benched, Barcelonia was so atrocious going forward. I didn't know he would be rested. If I had known, I would not have placed a bet on them to win. They played against a bottom team on the league table and could not score just 1 goal.The midfield maestros in the likes of Xavi and Iniesta that would have made things better are no longer there. Barcelonia also missed Neymar so much.At least,he was a ball walker, moves the ball and takes pressure off Messi.....Suarez cannot do much of that as he is basically a goal poacher.The MSN attack was deadly those times and Messi worried less. I honestly feel for him. How about Dembele? How is that one playing? He should be able to use his energy and youthful vigour to make Messi rest a bit during matches but I've not been seeing much of him.

With this comment. You are not a chelsea fan
Wetin consine food join putting food on your table

EmzyT:
Are Chelsea Putting food on my table? Or would them losing prevent them from receiving their Salary? Or do you think if I should see a sure game Eyimba to beat Chelsea I wouldn't play it? To hell with them

Bad things happen like that sometimes...
No be only him dey field... Liverpool were just too good

ReeLoaDead:
The same Messi that chopped 4-0 at Anfield when his Barca team had a 3-0 advantage going in? Unless you mean goat ....

Yeah, Barcelona, Trophy or no Trophy, they are shit without Messi

naturalwaves:
Yeah , he was. In the second leg , he had to come in as a substitute(he was half fit) and somehow managed to rescue Barcelonia. Total aggregate was 3:3 and Barcelonia qualified ahead of PSG on away goal rules.

You dont know what is called loyalty..
this person you are talking about is the highest paid player in the world

skyfather09:
this Messi No dey shame.. you dey one club since dey happy.

Umtiti na World plate winner abi.. Olodo

TGMISKY:
The ban is too light

Help me ask am oo

openmine:
Really?
Thats the most horrendous excuse i have ever heard!
So liverpool "luckily" beat and humilated barca 4-0?
or ajax "luckily" beat juventus at turin?
We can as well say that Real madrid used "luck" to win all their 3 champions league trophies!
You are no different from that misguided fellow here who thought the UCL matches were fixed!

It seems you are single abi... Nairaland Lover

Johnny Drille

But he played as a good CF in 2012/2013 season...
That time Song was kinda benching sergio Busquet because of attacking agility and speed but due to his much focus on the attack as a defending 4, barca conceeded too much goals.. Messi was one of the highest goalscorer then

naturalwaves:
What do you disagree with?
As a centre forward, Giroud, Lukaku etc are more suited for the role than Messii. The CF role is not about being able to play exceptional footbal. There are certain body builds that fit the CF role. Aguero is one of the few players I know without the physical build but still deadly as a CF.
Messi is too diminutive to play as a CF...............crosses cannot find him, he can also be easily sandwiched between big Centre backs. Would you compare Messi as a CF to players like Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Ronaldo etc? This is impossible! That is why the best he can play is a decoy or if you like, a false 9. Do you understand my point? This is not to say that Messi is not an exceptional player.

He was injured remember

naturalwaves:
Thanks. At least, you were able to bring out something unlike my friend that was dribbling in circles. Having said that,on the formation counter or arrangement, Messi was placed as though he was a CF. As soon as the match started, he switched. In fact, if you watch the full match, you will see that no sooner had the game begun than David Villa became the target man for Barcelonia. In fact, the goal Messi scored was from the left hand side of the attack. Villa and Sanchez were also alternating positions sometimes(it was on one of those occasions that Sanchez was brought down in the box)but there was no time Messi took the CF role in that match even though the formation before the match showed that he was supposed to play as a CF..........He most likely played the false 9 role we earlier stated. Nevertheless, David Villa played a far more CF role than Messi in that match that ended 2:2.
Here are the highlighs of the match;

Yes an all English final

Man Utd fans right now

Messi lacks the ability,, I disagree with you man

naturalwaves:
On a lighter note, I just saw the Indian you quoted from quora and attached the picture
It is so amusing you had to go and quote an indian for back-up
Anyway, you should have attached his entire write-up where he emphasized same things I have been saying...where he clearly stated that Messi lacks the abilities to play as a CF(9). Hence, his being deployed as a decoy.

I am not a professional footballer. I am a computer programmer. However, I have played football in the past and I've been at Pepsi in my teenage years

PSG vs Barcelona - Champions League Quarter final 2013

naturalwaves:
Oga, why do you find it difficult to understand simple English.
MENTION 1 MATCH WHERE MESSI WAS THE CENTRE FORWARD
Messi played as a false 9 several times but never as the Centre Forward (CF-main striker).
MENTION JUST 1 MATCH WHERE MESSI WAS THE CF

U go dy stupid well well ooo ,,,,, messi was playing rubbish - see talk

LuciferKoran:
I've said it several times that this dwarf shouldn't be allowed to come anywhere near a football pitch.

He is a tout.

He tried to strangle Roma's Yanga-Mbiwa
He headbutted Inter's Felipe Melo
He fought Shakhtar Donetsk's Darijo Srna
He spat on Malaga's Duda
He elbowed Mexico's Raldes
He wrestled Inter's Maicon to the ground
He bundled Uruguay;s Andreas Perreira to the ground & fought Arevalos Rios

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bt4TZMYyYM

The worst of all, he refused to go off TWICE.

1. Luis Enrique subbed him off against Eibar in 2014 & he refused to come off. Neymar was subbed instead.
2. Tito Vilanova subbed him off against Bayern in 2013 for playing rubbish.
He defied his manager and continued playing and Barca lost that tie 7-0.

Tito Vilanova died shortly after and Messi is responsible for his death.


Lionel Messi is a disgrace to football.



*spits

help me ask oo....

CoolAmbience:
