How does Messi manage to be the best player in the world? Does this prove that mental gains are above anything else?

he is strong for his weight and size
Football is a sport that perfectly balances athleticism, strategy and teamwork, and technical skills. A player might not be the fastest, strongest player on the field, but with decades of experience and a great understanding of the game, they will still be a great player.
>Football is a sport that perfectly balances athleticism, strategy and teamwork, and technica-ACK!
Isnt that a technical skill?
Euroturd cope
VAR took the that kind of stunts out of the game, so yeah.

lol
Bachira is my favourite
why did france employ so many Black folk wtf
go play for cameroon or something???
The african colonies they used to hold poured into their borders after these overseas territories were relinquished.
White man reaping what he sowed.
Sweden didn’t have colonies and it’s also full of Black folk. Your argument is invalid.
>Sweden didn’t have colonies
Wrong
>Not particularly strong
That's what most people get wrong. He has a very strong core. That combined with his high performing autism for the sport is what makes him great.
>Not fast
Not as fast as he used to be, but his acceleration from 0 is still on of his biggest assets
>Not particularly strong
You don't need to be strong if your opponents can't push you over because your center of gravity is so low. Messi is not only small, but also has smaller legs and a bigger torso so his center is very low.
He is strong and he was fast
Messi is absolutely fast and resilient you dummy. These players run 10+km per game.
He has above average lower body strength. Explosive and a low-center of gravity. A lot of strikers are on the shorter side (Maradona, Pele, Neymar, Mbappe, Modric). Average upper body strength since you don't really use it that much (though, you do have to be tough a lot of times).
Also, Messi is a unique player in the sense that his skill comes from game knowledge and setting up plays. Take his goal against Mexico for example:
The genius comes from the fact that he saw that opening in a weird angle, and scored a goal with two touches (one touch for receiving AND setting up the shot, then a second touch to finalize).
Whereas other players are more "athletic" in a traditional sense. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best example of this. He's average in game skill, but he runs faster, jumps higher, kicks harder, etc. than everyone else.
>He's average in game skill
Filtered
Well, CR7 is obviously above average in game skill as well.
I'm just using him as an example since that guy is a machine. He's more traditionally athletic than Messi. But Messi has a game vision that is better than Ronaldo's.
Football is life
Skill
whens the last time a white team won the WC? 2014?
There are no white teams left.
sad
Soccer has never been a white mans sport anyway. You should watch cricket or rugby instead.

>white
This is going to hurt some feelings...
But its literally just natural talent, he is genetically superior.
Just an amazing level of talent, practice and strategy for the game as well as his athleticism.
?t=92
I know frick all about football but look at this goal he sets up here, the ability to run the ball down like that with one of the best players in the world on him and then do that feint, spin around and then through the legs of that player pass it perfectly to his teammate who scores. What a goal.
Ok IST doesn't want to embed it, but it's the play starts at 1:33
>Messi
>not fast
moron. Also its a highly technical Sport and he is the most technically proficient Player ever
He is extremely fast what are you talking about?
Also nobody wants to talk about it but you cannot pretend being injected with copious amounts of HGH in his childhood didn't contribute to his seemingly superhuman abilities.
Well he's the best player in his position. Surely you won't argue he would also be the best defender.
low center of gravity means he can out trick his opponents probably
rigged
Speaking only about football....
Being short helps maintaining a good balance in accordance with person's center of gravity.
Hi IS FAST. One of the fastest players when carrying and dribbling the ball ever recorded.
Being strong is not really super necessary in his position on the field. Especially nowadays as attacking midfielder.
Also, he has a really fast understanding of the situation on the field.
>pic another mf that had all that when young
He doesn't. CR7 is the greatest.
Faster reactions and thinking, he lives on a different time plane than us mere mortals. Retirement will be so boring for him.
>being autistic
sinple as
HGH
