Just watched again what I consider to be a football genius, yes its that little man LIONEL MESSIE, in their win over Porto tonight.
This guy defies logic when you perceive a complete modern footballer to be tall, athletic have physical presence and what do we get - a little guy, stubby, frail stature BUT with absolute awesome skills not witnessed in the modern game for decades.
His attributes defy comprehension - two footed, jet heeled, low centre of gravity, creates chances, scores at will, endless stamina.............stop me I can go on
Reluctant as old boys are (me) to compare with yesteryear but surely he ranks up there with Pele, Best, Zidane, Cantona etc and in some aspects shades them because of his overall qualities which also include defensive duties and hold up play when necessary
.
Other attributes include rolling tackles, not making histioronics when inevitably fouled, and being a gentleman on and off the pitch.
I think we all should feel priveleged to be in an era where true genius reigns and where we have the media to watch every week this footballing phenomenom from sunny Spain.
