There's no greater football myth than “Messi is a one-way dribbler.” He chose to be.

I've seen Messi out-juggle Neymar, the guy we all consider more skillful and aesthetic. I've seen him manipulate the ball at a level I've rarely seen from anyone. Hell, I've even seen him do it while sitting down. 😭

So clearly, Messi could do all those things we call “skills.” Stepovers, tricks, flicks, all of it. He just rarely used them during actual matches.

Why?

Because Messi is probably the most efficient footballer we've ever seen.

Why spend a whole minute doing stepovers to beat a defender when you can just nutmeg him, burst past him in five seconds and finish the move with a goal?

Messi understood football on a level nobody else did. He didn't play football like he was trying to show you what he could do.

He played it like he was born to do it.

Because he actually was.

I recommend everyone to just watch this video and focus on Leo Messi.

I'll not say anything more.

@theberneese He should ask Ancelotti what his eyes saw 😂

“Messi plays to the right.”

Someone whose 90% of his goals are from the right side, cutting inside and finishing towards the left post. 😭

No wonder dem dey squeeze your babe right under you. 😂

You watch ball, but somehow still can't understand the most basic principles of football. 😭😂

[INDUSTRY MACHINE ⚙️ @Odumodublvck_]

@FabrizioRomano Good riddance. He is a very terrible Sporting director. Can't even find a proper RW to replace Salah after spending half a billion
