Oh I certainly don't. I always liken Messi (showing my age here) to the tennis player Bjorn Borg. A natural genius and ice cool when playing but privately his ego knew no bounds apparently.Everyone who is successful has a huge ego it just manifests itself differently, just because Messi appears slightly more humble than Zlatan or Cristiano don't assume his ego isn't huge.
Salah and Aguero arent very good with speaking English. You ask one question to Salah , he goes off on a tangent about something else coz of not understanding the question in English. Maybe they speak very well with the Egyptian and Spanish speaking media respectively.All the goals that Salah and Aguero have scored, nobody has heard them speak, cardboard
At least Zlatan gives us a reason to watch a game
The clubs in Italy are fighting over him. Mainly Napoli and Bologna.Definitely a Marmite personality - I've finally grown to find all his bravado quite funny. Thought he was finished before going to Man U but then he carried them in that first season. And he didn't do too badly in the MLS for a 38 year old. One of the most impressive players of his generation. But too old now to come over to Spurs though, maybe he'll go and add a few more millions to his bank account in China?
I think he went to MLS at the right age. He can go to China now and still be brilliant.A lion in words. If he had really had this mentality he would not have gone to play in the MLS. After the MU he could stay in Europe. For him in Italy we talk about Milan, Bologna, etc.
You are at a higher level.

Here, there be trophies.Perhaps we'll end up with Jose and Zlatan...
Totally agree, if ever there was a case of someone 'Walking the walk' it's this guy. The stats don't lie.There's definitely a bit of that. Kid from a relatively poor immigrant background that has always had to prove himself. A lot of it is without a doubt for show and to keep attention on himself. But he has backed it up throughout his career. 31 club titles (33 if we count the two Serie A that got removed through the Calciopoli scandal). Not to mention a fuck ton of individual achievements.
He's a loud mouth, but he backs it up.
Very serious.Trying to work out if those espousing this as a serious and positive idea are being serious or having the rest of us on No thanks!
