Messi impressions, Barca's truest secret weapon.

The recent trend of labelling lionel messi as an underperformer is by no means detrimental to the player himself. Often times we tend to be swayed by the narratives and usurp others views on a player, referring to statistics and thus comparing other people's statistical standards when evaluating a player's contribution in a game. The basic skillset of a player's in-game prowess is often overlooked for the more valued actual assist and goal stats, hence nullifying the undeniable importance of build-up and link-up play. In a footballing era that has been dominated by Messi and his Vice, any flawed performance by either of both will ultimately lead to the unbalance scale of opinions, condemning them to the ever damning feat of ordinary. Severely touted as being in decline and unrepropductive. Messi's case has been worse, because pundits have certainly pulled him from his God height, forgetting how close he was to winning the world cup. But the footballing world is unforgiving especially when an event falls into the logical explanations of IFs. If messi's sublime pass in that final and prior had been met with equal brilliance, our statistical perspectives would be changed. However, its not totally the end of the world for messi, if anything, it is a positive because, undermining a total genius and underwhelming your concentration in his abilities will effectively erupt his nucleus nature. So often we forget the barrage of on-field assault and walls he has to face, always players assigned to man-mark him to curtail his effect. Here is hoping that his recent criticisms help stimulate the mechanics of laxity in opponents attentive nature towards him. Heres hoping he becomes ordinary to that level of not being hacked and man-marked. Viva messi
