There is only one Lionel Messi (Part 2)
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 and Lionel Messi are having a personal goal scoring war, Messi won the battle in the first season as he scored more goals than Ronaldo. However, the very next season, Ronaldo scored the highest amount of goals in the history of La Liga to claim
the Pichichi award.
Most recently, the AC Milan’s newly signed star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901.
Pato at such a young age has done a lot to impress the fans. Despite the fact that he is quick with and without the ball, there is no doubt that his dribbling skills are very weak. The Brazilian youngster can finish perfectly once he is inside the 18 yard
box but getting past players is not his traits. Lionel Messi on the other hand is not only a goal scorer but an outstanding dribbler of the ball.
In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 was compared Lionel Messi. The fact that the English youngster was even named in the same sentence as the Argentinean maestro is an insult to the best player in the world. Theo Walcott is, if not the worst, then one of the worst
right wingers performing at top level at the moment. Not only is his game predictable, in fact he has less to do once he is in a crowded situation. His finishing technique is all-time low and his crossing ability is even worse. The Englishman has done nothing
in his whole career that would make people believe that he can be something close to Lionel Messi.
Another player who is often being compared to Lionel Messi is his fellow Argentinean play maker Javier Pastore. The PSG midfielder was himself quoted saying:
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 is a very tranquil person. He is a great person and we have a similar character."
While Pastore was busy emphasising only on the “character” of Lionel Messi and believed that he was just like Lionel Messi mentally, his former team-mate Abel Hernandez had other thought. Hernandez decided to cross the line and said:
"Maybe in a year, he (Javier Pastore) will be ready. I think he can become just like Messi.”
The only thing that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082’s ability to finish is as good as Theo Walcott. There is no doubt that Pastore is a great midfielder and an extraordinary play-maker but to become something like Lionel Messi, you
need to be complete.
The only player that even comes close to Lionel Messi is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and even he slacks off sometimes when it comes to assist making or even goal scoring. Leo is a one-man-show in a few games and Pastore can simply not turn a game round singlehandedly.
The headlines often read that a particular club is about to sign the “next http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.” There are videos linked with the player’s name and the player is usually seen dribbling the ball past two to three defenders and finding the back of the net.
It is true that Leo loves to get around players to score but the fact that he can also pass the ball perfectly and can also move back in an attacking midfield role is often neglected.
