[@MarcelMatani]

with ronaldinho and messi its like 2pac and eminem in rap, ronaldinho=2 pac and eminem=messi

[@agaz2272]

the reason they dont get the ball is the fact that he has a plan no matter what you try. Its not simplistic as hes going left and right. He has the ball so close to his feet due to his unreal control that he can change direction as if the ball was part of his foot. The man has unreal quick thinking. He identifies the little space that youre not covering way quickly and becauseof the control and balance due to his core strenght he is able to get there

“Just get the ball” lmaooo Messi waits for the defender to make a move then he reacts to it. It’s impossible to stop because he’s always one step ahead of the defender. And along with being the best dribbler ever, he scored the most goals and got the most assists in the 2010s decade out of every player in Europe. Hands down the most complete player of all time and the GOAT

Messi is a complete genius of the game for those who know football, don’t get me wrong Ronaldo is a legend. but Messi is not from this planet. & what he’s the best at is changing his direction, body feints, & accelerating with the ball at his feet. He doesn’t really need skills when at the end what he does majority of the time leads to assists & goals. keep up the entertaining videos btw 💪🏼

[@BaffourHD]

lovee🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@jein7079]

They need to change the narrative. That IS his skill. Skills are done for either entertainment or to beat a player and in a professional game the latter is true. Why would any moron that posses Messi's abilities even attempt a step-over? That's the most inefficient skill you can do if you have the skillset Messi has.

[@shamanampui4350]

[@Actornenad]

The best defenders in the world don't get the ball and that dude seriously thinks he could. Thanks for making my day. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@benjaminbronnimann3966]

The reasons why no one can get the ball is messi's close ball control, he never let's the ball go far from his foot plus his reaction time is insanely quick due to the high amount of touches he gets on the ball every second. Add to that extremely effective body feints, acceleration, peripheral awareness, intelligence and superb decision making, the quickest changes of direction and greatest balance I've ever seen on a pitch, his low center of gravity, Messi excels at every single skill that is needed to be a good dribbler, that's why he's the best dribbler (and player) of all time. He keeps his game as simple and effective as possible but to pull it off at his level you have to be one of the best in the world at every skill I mentioned above and that's basically impossible.

[@gonpo5611]

Just for knowledge, skills and showboating are two different things , Messi’s football skills is out of this world but he don’t want to waste his energy for showboating.

[@ncerdan97]

I'm argentinian too, we're proud as shit to have players like Messi and Maradona, both of them are literally the best players of all time, there;s people of course who will name some other players, but there's no chance there's someone better than those too... for me it's Messi. And yeah, he got a yellow card for taking his shirt off, you can't do that. Plus, you can watch "The Goal of the CENTURY" by Maradona against England in the world cup, THAT'S the most amazing goal, then everyone will have an opinion. If you're looking for another argentinian player to react, (as you both say) he's my favourite player, but I KNOW that Messi is the greatest ever, his name is Juan Roman Riquelme, a legend from Boca Junios (greates club in Argentina) Maradona also played in Boca. Riquelme destroyed Real Madrid in the club world cup in 2000

[@darkwolf1202]

saw Maradona play,Messi is better.

[@tfelst1147]

The defender who was dropped at 11:16 is Jerome Boateng, who at the time was the best defender in the world. He fell over not because he's shit of course (he's actually world-class) but because Messi is so insanely good. My guy, if the best defender in the World, in the most played game in the world gets not just beaten, but violated, why the flying fuck do you think you'd be able to tackle him 😂😂.

[@Actornenad]

First these guys have to understand the Game before talking about the game and know the world class players. The best defenders look poor against Messi. It's like saying I get the ball from Michael Jordan.

[@chinyscentsforyou8681]

Lolol he keeps saying "get the ball" like it's that easy😂😂😂. Ask Sergio Ramos. Otumfour Kojo Agyemang

[@christmg4682]

There are personal favourites but when we talk about a football player being the best we gotta consider these four things primarily. 1)Dribbling 2)Pass 3)Creating chances 4)Assist 5)Goals 6)Longevity As good as Ronaldinho was, he was inconsistent and couldn't last long. Same goes with the Ronaldo9. Pele literally scored plathera of goals when there was no offside rule, meaning he could just wait at the box behind every defenders, receive the ball and score no problem. Neymar is very similar to Ronaldinho but he's always injured. Ronaldo is one of the GOATS enough said. But Messi, he is the GOAT. Everything you ask, he has it. To nitpick, he doesn't have much skillset but there are enough street footballers and futsal players with skills, are they the GOAT? No. You gotta dribble well, don't dive in every chance you get, should see your teammates in the most difficult situation and make the accurate pass, score and create chances. Messi has them all. To enjoy other players you gotta watch the highlights. You watch Messi live and the whole match is the highlight. To do all aforementioned aspects of the game well is great but to those things for seventeen years in a row staying at the top is something esle. Like I said people can have their different favourites but there's only one GOAT and we all know who that is. Kobe Bryant : I wear the number 10 for US team, in honour of the greatest athlete I've ever seen, Messi. This should sum up the debate.

Ronaldinho is the most gifted player ever in terms of pure talent.. Ball control, shooting and creating plays. Ronaldinho's problem was his partying. It caused problems in his career, but during Ronaldinho's 2 yr run as Fifa world player of the year, No One in the history of the game is better imo. Messi is raw talent to, hone and trained to perfection. His ball control is insane. He is the best player ever just based on Records and Silverware. C. Ronaldo is an amazing player to, but he isn't pure talent like Messi, his is talented based on insane work ethic and training. Either way, I was alive to watch all 3 of them play!! I'm blessed! 🙏

6:45 lol that's exactly what he wants 😂 he makes you think you can get the ball he's literally waiting for you to attack, just to change directions on you so quick that your body can't keep up, cause as a defender you're the most vulnerable when you try to tackle. That's why most defenders just try to keep him away from the goal cause they know as soon as they go for the ball he leaves them in the dust, his reaction time and change of speed are too quick.

[@jhamler1]

[@lethalchocobo1886]

Your bro seems to understand a bit more than you about the game ;) but you're right about one thing: he's efficient and supremely so. His game doesn't rely on fancy flicks or tricks like say Ronaldinho (who I absolutely love) but body feints, nutmegs and change of pace and/or direction. Most of the defenders simply can't get near him and he makes them look like kids. What he does master more than any other great player in history (trust me on this one) is close control of the ball. When he dribbles, the ball is so close to his foot that you just can't take it away from him without either fouling him or selling yourself short by you sticking your leg out (which is exactly what he waits for). His footballing IQ and vision are also miles above the rest and he thinks 2-3 steps ahead of his opponents. Also don't underestimate his body strength: he's incredibly tough and his center of gravity is very low. All of this makes him a nightmare to defend against and the opponent never relies on individual man marking but more on a team effort with 2-3 players around him. The greatest defenders acknowledged as being the toughest player they have or had to face. The best way to keep him out of a game is to prevent him from getting the ball.

[@funyarinpa336]

I know he was just joking about "just getting the ball" but still, you gotta wonder how often Messi didn't feint but committed to those moves for the defenders to go "I can't delay even a little bit. The only way I catch him is if I react the second he starts moving." and all of a sudden, when you finally think you'll be able to stop him he suddenly hits you with the first feint of the game and breaks your ankles. Messi if probably the only player to really deserve the title of GOAT, as in he might not be the best player right now, at an age where he is getting ready for retirement, but during his prime he was not just the best active player, but the best player in the history of the sport. Yeah Ronaldo is a better shooter, but being an A+ at a single skill does not compare to being an A across the board. Shots, passes, dribbling, feints, defense and so on and on and on. As Pep Guardiola said, Messi is not just the best Number 10, he is the best "Number 9, Number 10, Number 11, Number 7, Number 6, Number 5, Number 4 [...]"

[@xbl4ze]

What they can't see... is the 2-3 feints messi does with his body before he touches the ball, every time before he does a directional change. Because it's too fast for a blurry camera

[@bynahelemaal]

The reason some defenders don’t get the ball is bc they used to, but he’s so fast, physically, but also mentally that if you tackle to get the ball you’re already to late and now you’re on the ground and he’s running away... it’s like a chess player who’s already 3 steps ahead! stay on your feet and you have somewhat of a better chance to defend! It’s not like they never kick or hold him, plenty of videos of defenders hanging on his shirt or kicking him, but usually that’s still not enough! (Google ujfalusi vs messi and check that picture of messi’s ankle in a full 90degree bend) Also ronaldo has more power and thus a better longrange powershot, messi has more technique. Also messi is statistically more efficiënt than any other player... conversion rate etc during his entire career.

[@mike12431]

at the speed he's going himself its almost impossible just without the ball its astonishing, but just imagine, he's accelerating like that ahead of everyone else with the ball.. its almost impossible, he's known to set the pace if you see his best runs, but the killer tricky thing is that he does it keeping the ball so close to his feet, making the attacking play, always keeping it a close distance, many people think that even if you tried like your life depended on it and dedicated your whole life, many many wont come close to Messi's ability, that's why he's one of one, and especially not close to defending him too that's why if you search theirs a compilation of him getting pulled or slide tackled, dirty plays cuz that's really the only way to stop him 😂😂 its crazy too considering his size he always able to go against bigger opponents, takes a lot of strength. If you're still on the edge about it you should watch this edit, it goes hard and is cool and best show cases that relentless energy and skills, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYmlYoumj7V3lck if you react to it on your channel or not you should still watch it, I recommend you react to it.

[@mike12431]

and he does have skills, like the way he moves the ball and feints, its really hard, but I do agree that those fancy cool skills like Neymar, Ronaldinho, and young Cristiano Ronaldo, are immensely underrated and should be respected in their own way, I'd say in my footballing journey I was also a lil oblivious like you I really didn't see how impossible it was to do what Messi does till I tried it and same with those cool skills, just as hard especially in what speed they do them, aqnd "in game" but they really go unnoticed unless you're able to score a lot of goals and be consistent but ig that's what sports really was always about, like in the NBA with Kobe, Lebron James, and Steph Curry
