The Chilean tactician has taken out time to laud the individual performance of the Argentine international.
Malaga’s head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 claiming that the left-footed forward is worthy of all individual accolades in the world of football.
The 58-year-old appeared more than impressed by the Argentine’s exploits in the duration of the current season’s campaign.
In wake of his side’s defeat at the hands of La Blaugrana, Pellegrini did not fail in noticing Messi’s impact on the match.
Malaga travelled to the Catalan capital this past Wednesday to take up the challenge of the Spanish giants at the Nou Camp. The match, which was clearly dominated by the current UEFA Champions League title holders, saw the visitors humbled to a 4-1 defeat.
The hosts created a few early chances and took only 14 minutes to break the deadlock, as they scored the opener through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331.
Puyol’s strike was followed by a hat-trick by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 Messi, who was simply outstanding throughout the proceedings of the game. The Argentine was seen performing at the top of his game and once again he left audiences in awe of his brilliance on the ball.
Messi’s latest hat-trick takes his total number of goals this season to 68 as he broke the record previously held by Gerd Muller.
Pellegrini believes that the Rosario native deserves all the appreciation he has received by football viewers all over the world, claiming that Messi was the rightful winner of the Ballon d’Or this season as he has done everything to deserve it.
While talking to reporters, the former Real Madrid boss quoted:
“I don't know the parameters for the Ballon d'Or. I only know that Messi deserves to win every trophy."
"We did not lack ambition and the result did not reflect what happened at all. [Barcelona goalkeeper Jose] http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pinto-c30032 made three very important saves and Messi's two penalties decided the game.”
Messi has scored 46 goals in the Spanish La Liga this season and with two games left to play, it will be interesting to see if he can manage to beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 in the race for the Pichichi.
