Master
All the hype about Kaka and Ronaldo going to Real this summer was just erased byt a master performance by the 22 year old Lionel Messi. I think he is by far the best player on the planet. If there was some doubt about his class before last night i think he erased it. Ok so his goals were not acrobatic or solo runs from his own half but to score 3 goals in a game is a feat in itself, let alone 4, and even more in a UCL quarter final game against Arsenal! I am an Arsenal die-hard, and even I have to admit that his class is way above anything we have produced in the last decade. Even the Iceman, DB, can’t compare to Messi at the moment. (i know that sounds like blasphemy).
Even Wenger is quoted as saying “Barcelona is more than Messi. They have other players in the team who are top class. They are an exceptional team with an exceptional player and in the exceptional games the exceptional players make the difference.” And that is the truth he is an exceptional player. At the Emirates a week ago he seemed subdued. but with the absence of Ibrahimovich he really took the game and mad it his. After Arsenal scored the opener i figured the game would have started to pick up a feverish pace, i just didn’t expect it to be Messi fever! I think with that said I wouldn’t begrudged anyone for thinking that Barcelona is going to win this entire competition now. That said, I believe he would go on and take all the awards this season, World player, European player, South American Player, Asian Player, African Player… i think they should all just hail the master that he is.
A a young age he has some good years ahead of him, in which i am sure he is going to terrorize defenses around the world, and with that in mind i think with the likes of him, Aguero and Tevez, Argentina must count as one of the faves for this summer’s tournament. I hope they all stay fit for the next few months and produce in South Africa. Oh the excitement!
Well that’s about all i have for today. Peace out Homies!
