http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160 defends Lionel Messi’s international form
The Argentinean maestro, Lionel Messi, is hailed as the best player in the world. However, his form with the Argentinean national team has not exactly been anything close to what he has accomplished at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Messi is considered to be the most clinical finisher in the world. In the past two seasons with the Spanish club, Messi has scored 100 goals. It means that the Spaniard has scored 50 goals at an average in the last two seasons.
While his goal scoring statistics are off the hook, his assist making abilities are also brilliant. Messi has managed to assist his team with 11 goals in the 2009-2010 season and 24 goals in the 2010-2011 season.
This season, the Argentinean has already found the net 16 times and assisted his team mates with 10 goals.
While his goal scoring charts at club level are extraordinary, he has not managed to accomplish the same thing with the Argentinean national team.
Despite having an extraordinary line-up in the South American side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 has not been as prolific with Argentina as he is with the Spanish club.
Many claim that Lionel Messi is nothing without his favourite team players, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas. However, there is no denying the fact that he has only been unlucky in front of goal.
While playing for the Argentinean side in the FIFA World Cup 2010, Messi tried his luck on goal a number of times but he simply couldn’t find the back of the net. Later, his goal scoring form with the Argentinean team only darkened as he could only score
three goals in the twelve games he played for the national team in 2011.
While Lionel Messi is booed by the Argentinean supporters, the Argentinean legend, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Armando Maradona, has defended his poor goal scoring form. Maradona said:
"Just leave him alone and stop with those stories that he is Catalan."
He further added:
"If he cannot perform for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 like he does for Barcelona, we just have to wait. He will get tired of all the jerks who comment on him and have never kicked a football.”
Lionel Messi played as an attacking midfielder while he performed for the Argentinean side under http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Batista-c7379. However, now he is being played as a striker in a two-man attack force. He has managed to form great chemistry with Gonzalo Higuain and goals
might fall for him in the new found position.
