The Argentinean maestro believes that teams these days only play football to win games, whereas they should be playing to have fun.
Lionel Messi recently criticized the teams who play football only to win games and would do anything to get a positive result.
The Argentinean attacker is currently being considered as one of the best players in not only the world, but in fact the history of football. Playing for Barcelona, Lionel Messi has managed to achieve everything he can put his hands on; however, all he has
left to win is the FIFA World Cup.
While performing for the Argentinean national team, Lionel Messi has not been as phenomenal as he is with the Catalan giants. This season, Messi has managed to score 50 goals in only the Spanish La Liga, beating last season’s record of the Portuguese striker,

However, Barcelona were unable to get their hands on their fourth consecutive Spanish La Liga title. Moreover, they also lost their chance to win the second consecutive UEFA Champions League, as they had to surrender to the Premier League giants, and current
European champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
While competing for the Spanish La Liga title, Lionel Messi had to face a tough competition against Real Madrid. Los Blancos were able to give Barcelona a run for their money and even though Messi helped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 win three consecutive La Liga titles, he
was unable to do it this year, as Jose Mourinho was able to come up with the perfect strategy.
However, the reason why http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 gave remarks regarding football being fun might be because of the criticism he receives from the Argentinean fans, and also because the way Barcelona were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Chelsea were ready to park the bus and Barcelona found it hard to find the back of the net.
While speaking about how he wants football to be fun and not ‘only’ to get positive results, Lionel Messi said:
"That's why I do it. The day I stop having fun is the day I retire...I never want to lose that spark, that passion.”
"Today, teams are playing more statically, more for the final score than producing good football.”
"For them, it's more important to win than to play well. We need more players with passion coming up for the good of football."
Lionel Messi is currently enjoying his vacations in South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390, and is expected to become a father soon.
