The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mali-c2951 international has taken out time to heap praise over his teammate, stating that he is more than impressed by the Argentine’s exploits this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, emphasizing that the forward’s goal-scoring ability is outstanding.
Keita exclaimed that he is awe-struck by the Argentine’s continued growth over the years, admiring Messi’s passion for the game and stressing that he is astonished at the fact that the 24-year-old appears to improve every day.
Last season was predominantly believed to be the year of Lionel Messi as the Barcelona star managed to reach the absolute top of the footballing world. Along with winning several individual accolades, the Argentine led La Blaugrana to a European double.
Not only were the Catalan giants champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, they also established themselves as a destructive force across Europe, as they triumphed over the UEFA Champions League trophy for the second time in three years.
Messi’s role in his side’s achievements was of course more than pivotal and many believed that the player was the main force behind the Spanish giants.
However, it is more interesting to see that the Argentine international has only improved, scoring more goals and providing greater amount of assists as compared to the last season.
Even though this season’s campaign was hardly a memorable one for the Nou Camp outfit, the Rosario native has made a huge impact on the game, breaking several individual records.
While talking to reporters, Keita was quoted as saying:
“Leo is a star, he gets better every day and every match. We're lucky to have him in the team because he's a machine."
Barca’s first player from Mali, then went on to bid farewell to Pep Guardiola, expressing that he is the best coach in the world.
“Pep has given everything to this club. He's won a lot of titles. It's a source of pride for the supporters and the club to have him. Thank you Pep."
Barcelona's only chance of ending the season at a high is by winning the Copa del Rey. Will they be able to accomplish that feat with the help of the pint-sized attacker? Only time can reveal.
