Zitat des Tages über Messi:
Lionel Messi is a wonderful player. Very skillful. Highly intelligent. He is not good in the air.
I don't think a player like Messi is a selfish player.
I don't want to disrespect anyone, but it's clear that any team which has the chance to play with Messi, Suarez, and Neymar has devastating attacking power, which any coach would love at his disposal.
Messi is one of the best in the world.
Messi is an alien that dedicates himself to playing with humans.
I don't want to surpass Messi.
The Ballon d'Or is one of my objectives, but it will be complicated so long as Ronaldo and Messi are around.
When I arrived at Barcelona and saw Messi's face, and later Luis Suarez, I felt like it was a videogame.
The first time I met Leo Messi, I didn't know who he was, only that I couldn't believe the boots he was wearing. But he is like a brother to me. It was at the start of 2005, when I was with the Argentine under-17 squad and I saw him chatting with Ezequiel Garay and some other players about the boots he'd brought back from the U.S.A.
Messi deserves to win this World Cup for all he has done for football.
Messi is a great player. Playing against him is not good - it is bad.
I cannot say who is better between Messi and Ronaldo. Because they are different players. Both are superstars.
Of course Messi could handle a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. He'd be drinking tea and relaxing beforehand. Me? I'd probably be the same.
When people mention me and Messi together, it's amazing because, to me, Messi is the best of the best. You can't say anything to him; he's the boss.
I'm always in the 'butcher' role. But the only way to stop Messi one-on-one is to foul him. Otherwise, if I'm alone, I'll only get the ball one in 20 times. I have to use other weapons, I know the best way to stop him. I know he does not like playing with his back to goal, you must be right on top of him when he gets the ball.
Lionel Messi is awesome.
I respect his decisions, but football without Messi is not football. It is very hard to imagine football without him.
Messi has the best technique in the world.
