The Spaniard has taken out time to heap praise over the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international once again as he emphasized that he is a great example of what La Blaugrana represent as a football club.
Barcelona president, Sandro Rosell, has expressed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 is an ideal footballer in regard of the modern game and that his humility is one of the things that set him apart from all of his competitors.
The Supremo stated that Barca are a club who embody humility and teamwork as one of the key aspects of their style of play. He argued that no matter what goes on and around the Nou Camp outfit, they are representatives the key values which make football
the beautiful game.
He was of the opinion that respect, ambition, effort and humility are the important factors surrounding the sport and should always be upheld. He then established that the Catalan giants are a team which abide these principles and Messi is the perfect example
of a modest athlete.
The Catalan national made the statement while addressing around a 100 children in a primary school.
Once again, he used the occasion as an opportunity to hail the Barca number 10 as one the best players in the world.
Continuing the discussion, Rosell quoted a few past incidents in order to emphasize his words. He stated that the way Messi celebrates his goals, victories, trophies and even individual accolades is simply impressive and that he should be considered the
role model in terms of an athlete’s behaviour on and off the pitch.
"Respect, effort, ambition, team work and humility are key values," the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 president was quoted as saying by Marca.
"Humility is not being cocky. Like Messi, or the way that Barca celebrate its title wins modestly, without offending its opponents. When Messi was awarded the Golden Boot, he said that it was thanks to teamwork. Without that, there are no individual victories.
"Messi ran the length of the wing against Rayo [Vallecano] to defend, even though his team were winning 5-0 and he’d scored two of those goals. He made an effort. Even if you've done all the hard work, you have to keep making an effort."
Barcelona will face Celta Vigo on Saturday.
