Sir Sachin Tendulkar 4

[kid-glove]

Took a shite team singlehandedly into 96 semis and 03 finals. Strip off messi from his famed midfield help we will see what he is upto.

Messi is one man army.

Good thing for Messi, he still has a lot of time to put his WC record right.

But let's face it, club football >>>> International footie. CL is the real deal. He plays something like 40-50 games a season and then goes to a World cup under a joke manager like Maradona ( ) , to play against defenders like Mertesacker (with all due respect, he isn't one of the best), Heitinga in semis/finals. Sorry that's bull. The best defenders play in CL KO phases, Lucio, Thiago Silva, Maicon, Rio, Cashley, Koscielny, Carvalho, Ramos, Samuel et Al.

As for the midfield strength, I'm sure it's not the midfield strength that gives him drive to go past challenges & move out of closed spaces like magician!


He could take 4-5 touches per second at full speed and has vision to find players moving into space with technique to pull out a orgasmic through pass.

Barcelona - Messi = wouldn't win CLs.

Argentina + Messi =could win WCs. The kid's just 24. Rest assured he wouldn't hide in big finals and clutch scenarios.
