Yeah should try tackle him like an Englishman in an English team would.
IMO Citeh aren't an English team!
Was that Delli?
if Messi was playing in the English league he would be the greatest ever footballer to play in this country, it's delusional to think otherwise.
As delusional as your statement is an assumption
i think it's a pretty good assumption considering any rivals to greatest player ever such as Maradonna or Pele didn't play in our league.
Compare their world cup performances. Hmmm!I can understand that Zidane, Pele, Maradona, Cryuff, Puska, Eusebio, Ronaldo and Beckenbauer etc could all be seen as the best, certainly they were all among the very best.
But the amount of goals and the difference of skill he uses to do it, season after season.
Maradona was fantastic, but it's also about the longevity Messi (and CR) are doing it, which is historic imho.
He's not even the third best in mine...Best player in my lifetime for sure!
He's playing in an era when pitches are like carpets and tackles are pretty much outlawed.I can understand that Zidane, Pele, Maradona, Cryuff, Puska, Eusebio, Ronaldo and Beckenbauer etc could all be seen as the best, certainly they were all among the very best.

u wot m8?I never understand the cream fest that surrounds Messi.
Difference being that the F2 boys take 10+ shots to achieve what they show on their video. They certainly aren't doing it 90th minutes of elite level games consistently and without the wonder of editing.but it's nothing that those non-league playing F2 Freestylers would have difficulty with.
Done it again.
