Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against England.
🗣️ “People keep asking me how Messi is still doing this at 39 years old. My answer is simple because football has never seen anyone like him. Age defeats everyone, but somehow it refuses to defeat Lionel Messi. What he did tonight was beyond football… it was art.”
“England didn’t play against an old player. They played against the greatest mind this sport has ever produced. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, controlling the rhythm of the biggest match on earth as if he were playing in his backyard. That is not normal. It is impossible to teach.”
“I’ve stood on the touchline and watched Leo do things that left me speechless. Tonight, sitting at home, he made me feel exactly the same. Every touch had purpose. Every pass carried danger. Every decision was perfect. He didn’t run the most but he made everyone else run for him.”
“The frightening part is that he no longer needs his young legs. His football brain is ten seconds ahead of everyone else. By the time defenders realise what is happening, the ball is already in the back of the net or a teammate is celebrating. That’s genius. Pure genius.”
“People obsess over goals, but tonight Messi reminded the world that football is about creating moments no one else can imagine. Two assists that changed a nation’s history. Two passes that carried Argentina into another World Cup final. That is the definition of greatness.”
“At 39, most legends are sitting in television studios talking about football. Messi is still writing football history. He isn’t surviving at this level he’s dominating it. That’s why I will always say there has never been, and there will never be, another player like Lionel Messi.”
“When this World Cup is over, don’t just remember the trophies or the statistics. Remember that you witnessed a 39-year-old genius walk into a World Cup semi-final against one of the strongest teams in the world… and make them look ordinary. We are watching the final chapters of the greatest football story ever written.”
@LolaN32552@SiempreAndy@jmdelalamo@sanchezcastejon Siempre hay en todos los países , me imagino que todos los inmigrantes españoles de los 40/50 no eran todos lo mejor del rebaño ( pero en general vimos que colaboraron como mi padre a construir una mejor Argentina ).
@DeloElmo Puede llevar a todo Calchin con todos los gastos pagos y no le mueve la aguja ni un milímetro . El que puede hace lo que quiere y está muy bien .
@FisayoDairo Gran cuerpo técnico , grandes jugadores . Podrán perder pero son un hueso durísimo de roer .
Muy poca gente en el mundo ve el futbol como los argentinos .
@LolaN32552@jmdelalamo@sanchezcastejon Sin ninguna duda que alguno habrá pero en proporción te aseguro que son muchos más los que ayudan a hacer grande a España que los que no .
