La Masia youth academy product is in awe of teammate Lionel Messi and believes the Argentine deserves another Ballon d’Or to his list of personal awards.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 continues to improve his performances at the Camp Nou as he matures into one of the best players to grace the beautiful game. The pint-sized attacker broke the 50-goal mark in La Liga, scoring a total of 72 goals so far in the 2011/12 season,
with 28 assists to go with.
With the world tumbling at his feet, fellow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 youth academy graduate, Isaac Cuenca, came out in the open and praise the reigning World Player of the Year award holder.
Cuenca claimed that Messi does not have any parallels in the world of football at the moment, and gave him his backing to claim another Ballon d’Or award, the Argentinean’s fourth successive award.
"Messi is the best in the world and deserves another Golden Ball," the midfielder remarked.
In the absence of David Villa and persistent injuries to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979, the youngster has made his mark on the first team. Alongside his toils on the pitch, Cuenca was involved in a much publicised bust-up with Messi on the pitch.

Continuing on the topic, Cuenca added that the atmosphere in the dressing room is very pleasant, with the experienced players always stepping up to help the younger members of the squad.
"Everything is fine, I have never been any problem, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 helps us, tries to correct. We do not check fights or anything, always very happy and helps young people."
With Pedro Rodriguez showing glimpses of his returning to his established high playing standards, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Tello also making his mark, first team opportunities look bleak for the youngster.
Cuenca has been reported to be heading towards the exit door, a situation that has alerted European big wigs Manchester United, Juventus, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
