The last 10 goals of the `10 'Barca in Europe were held at the Camp Nou. Yesterday could break that streak in the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen
Leo Messi is not hidden or in adverse scenarios, such as the Parken Stadion, which Solbakken, the coach of Copenhagen, was charged with arson and turned upside down. Messi is different because it is always shown. Other players often do, irregularly shaped, or almost always, but Argentina never fails. Leo again be the scorer of Pep Guardiola, has scored 7 goals in the last four games, "a coach who has improved so that it seemed impossible to improve. The numbers say it all and `10 'Barca yesterday scored his goal number 100 with Santpedor coach on the bench. And the third season has just begun.
The hundred or so many of Messi is even more amazing considering he has played 117 games under the command of Guardiola. Given that amount and seven seasons with the Barça first team, the growth is spectacular. He has scored as many more goals in two seasons and the months that we have of this than the rest. In total, 142 total goals Leo Messi, a dizzying figure at 23. More than two second parts of this figure has been achieved with Pep on the bench. It is no coincidence, since Guardiola has improved the system for Rijkaard, has turned the team over the rival goal and given freedom of movement completely. But not only their performance has improved since the arrival of Pep, but year after year Guardiola has squeezed better. In their first year together, the `10 'scored 38 goals in 51 games. The second year was 47 goals in 53 games, almost at par, while this year are already 15 goals in 13 games. Someone like Messi has no roof and if you follow this progression will record all scorers Boat and European football figures which take many years overcome.
The difference between Leo and the rest is that Villa and Peter sent the ball to stick in the same way, but Messi for the ball ends up going, while in the case of his companions just outside. As Harvey says, "is one of those players that appear every 50 years" and the big challenge is to keep the Barça few more seasons best at full capacity. Messi will be what has been for Real Madrid Raul, Del Piero for Juventus or Giggs for Manchester United at the club level, but it is what has been Maradona, Pele and Cruyff worldwide. Messi is everything and proves it game by game.
In Europe, the past ten goals from Argentine had scored in the Nou Camp, to Stuttgart (2) and Arsenal (4) last season, and Panathinaikos and Copenhagen this season. His last goal at home in the Champions was in Kiev. Until yesterday. It has also surpassed Rivaldo in international competitions. The Brazilian had 31, and Leo sum 32. And best of all, the only thing that makes him human and unlike others, is his humility in the field. Do not give either his goals and his dribbles, but his relentless willingness to help. The best evidence was given yesterday, recovered to 6 balls, significantly higher than that usually offered, with an average of 1.6 turnovers in each game. In a physical encounter, ugly and rough in which the Catalans had to fight every inch, Messi was first placed at forefront of the fight. Messi is everything: the harp and drum. Pep Guardiola has in hand a player who can leave the history story written by other famous gold of this sport called football.
