The Argentine international has heaped praise over his compatriot once again, claiming that his ability to score goals is unmatchable.
It appears that Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 will not a let an opportunity to talk about Lionel Messi slide without hailing the forward’s talent and skill. The defender/midfielder has taken to the press once again and has expressed that La Pulga never fails
to impress.
Mascherano emphasized that it is Messi’s desire to excel that drives him to progress and move forward as an athlete. He remarked that the footballer is absolutely unique and distinct, stressing that his statistics set him apart from his competitors.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 appears to be a killer on the hunt whenever he takes to the pitch as he is just unstoppable in terms of scoring goals.
The Argentine made the statement in regard of the recent record broken by the Barca number 10. The athlete has become the footballer with the highest number of goals scored in one year. After scoring 88 goals in 2012 so far, Messi has ousted the record previously
held by Bayern Munich legend Gerd Muller.
Muller’s record stood at 85 goals, whereas the Rosario native has scored 88 goals this year and is yet to play 2 more matches for La Blaugrana.
Mascherano emphasized that his teammate competes against himself and thus he is able to keep on improving. He also pointed out that the attacker has a massive desire to play and win.
"With regards to football, he is a killer. He takes to the pitch to collect victims. He likes to play football and does not care who is in front of him," the 28-year-old told Mundo Deportivo.
"He competes against himself. This is a great virtue and he has reached that level when is now more like a golfer than a footballer - every day he wants to lower the handicap. The biggest weapon of this team is the desire to play football. People like Xavi,
Messi and [Andres] Iniesta have passed on this attitude to the team and it is producing results."
