Football Update: Messi takes away the Golden Boot Award
A prestigious honour was given to Lionel Messi. He was acknowledged for his great football skills and his thrilling expertise.
The Golden Boot award went to Lionel Messi yesterday for being the crown scorer in all the local leagues in Europe in the previous season. The centre forward from Argentina had been given the reward for the 35 goals he had scored for his club Barcelona.
It was his amazing performances time after time that assisted Barca to maintain their top spot in the Spanish league.
The young man from Argentina joined a team of elite players and legends. He was appreciated throughout the globe and has proven himself yet again.
Getting any award is special, but this award has a separate meaning to it. It is more prestigious than many other awards. Messi has been helped a lot by his team members to get where he is and has also had some great coaching. He is still very young and
has a long way to go.
Only three other players have won all three of the most important personal achievement awards. The Most prestigious awards in football are the Golden Boot, FIFA World Player of the Year and the Golden Ball. Messi was also the European player of the year.
The centre forward for the mighty Chelsea and the prolific striker for Udinese namely Antonio Natle made it to second place for their personal 30 goals
The honour comes after an uninspiring Messi had shown a futile effort to score even one goal at the World Cup in South Africa. Either way, the previous Argentina trainer Diego Maradona was of the view that it was the correct decision to reward the kid and
would like to see Messi achieve greater things.
The young boy had made himself only one out of the two Barca players that were ever honoured by European football magazine. The captain of Barca Carlos Puyol was very happy for Messi and had congratulated him for his achievement.
Messi is among the greatest in the world but his humility is the key to his greatness. Most of team mates felt he had won the award through his hard work. He truly is extraordinary and getting this recognition was an important motivator for him.
Messi is not a selfish player. He makes sure that his skills are used in any way that will benefit the team over all. He is a team player; hence, he has gained their trust and is often preferred for the execution of a scoring opportunity. His lightening
speed on the field is a sight to watch and he is probably the greatest finisher in today’s football world.
There are only a few players that can be compared to him. He has created himself a spot with the best footballer’s in the world and will be mentioned together with all the other greats playing in different leagues and his own Spanish league.
The attitude he has will take him very high up in the world of football. He has no ego and is always willing to make sacrifices for his team. Even when he is not playing for club, he is out playing for his country his personality will not alter, and he will
remain the humble yet deadly footballer he is. He is a one man show and at the same time gets everyone involved in the game.
He has a bright future ahead of him. If he keeps going the way he is, he is bound to make history in terms of personal achievements.
