The brain is wide open. What if Messi is a native of Spain?

If Messi was born in a small town only three hours' drive from Barcelona, perhaps no one would question his position in the world football. But unfortunately, he was born in Rosario, Santa Fe province, and he is an out-and-out Argentine boy.

Messi was born in Argentina, grew up and lived in Spain. Spain frantically won three world series trophies from 28 to 212, and many of the masters of the king were Messi's teammates in Barcelona. Just imagine, if Messi can win these trophies with them, will anyone doubt Messi's position in world football? Even if it is not Spain, Italians, Brazilians and even the old French team have made some gains in recent World Cups. I can only say that it's a pity that Messi is not Spanish.

Spain, which played in the world series with Barcelona as its main team, stood on the top of the world many times. Even in Barcelona club, all the players are not as dazzling as Messi, but Messi wearing a blue and white sword shirt can't taste the joy of victory like them. So there is such a joke in the football world that Barcelona without Messi is the Spanish team, but Messi who left Barcelona is completely "hopeless"!

compared with his performance in Spain, Messi's performance when he fought for his country was relatively unsatisfactory. Looking at the statistics, he scored 31 goals in 76 national games, while Diego Maradona scored 34 goals in 91 games. It seems that Messi's goal efficiency is higher than that of Diego Maradona. But there is nothing to show off at all. In 26, at the age of 19, Messi had already entered the list of Argentina's national team playing in the World Cup in Germany, and Messi's performance was not remarkable. Look at the World Cup in 21. At that time, the head coach of Argentina was Diego Maradona, but Messi still didn't show his dominance in the club team. He lost nothing in five World Cup matches, and Messi failed to save the team when the German team beat Argentina with two straight goals. It is also for this reason that those fans of Pele or Diego Maradona always feel that Messi is not as good as their idols.

But if you think Messi is a failed player because he hasn't won the World Cup, you are all wet. In 212, 25-year-old Messi won three Champions League medals. As we all know, it is no less difficult to win the Champions League than to win the World Cup. Moreover, in January 213, he is likely to complete the four consecutive Golden Globe Awards, which is undoubtedly the first time in history. Not to mention, he scored twice against Betis, which helped him surpass legendary German striker Gerd Müller and become the player who scored the most goals in a natural year in history. England defender George Cohen won the 1966 World Cup with England. Is he greater than cruyff or Platini? This is simply nonsense! I can only say that Messi is great enough, but he is still one step away from his real throne.

Some people have questioned Messi's goal record. They think that Gerd Müller set a record of 85 goals in 1972, and there were not so many games at that time. Messi was able to dominate the goal record because there were a group of teammates who won three important trophies behind him, and another reason was the schedule of modern football. They think that the stars of Gerd Müller's era simply can't imagine that there will be so many games in modern football!

But these skeptics are simply critical. Mill's record has existed for 4 years. Diego Maradona failed to break, cruyff failed to break, and so many great strikers failed to break in recent ten years. If Messi was touched by the schedule, why didn't others break? Even they can't get close to this record?

Let's talk about the schedule again. In 212, Messi participated in competitions in 13 countries and scored goals in 8 of them. In late May 212, Messi won the final of the Spanish Cup in Madrid, Spain, played the World Cup qualifiers in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and played a friendly match with Brazil in New Jersey, USA. In just two weeks, Messi scored in three countries. In mid-November, 212, Messi just played La Liga in Mallorca, then went to Saudi Arabia to play a friendly match on behalf of Argentina, returned to Barcelona to play a league match, and then went to Russia to play the Champions League match against Sparta Moscow. Pele, Diego Maradona, Gerd Müller, which of these great stars has encountered such a harsh schedule? In November 212, Messi not only participated in all the competitions, but also scored 6 goals! Messi's records are solid, which proves his own strength and makes everyone realize his greatness.

Lionel Guardiola, Messi's mentor, once commented on him: "We will never find anyone who plays football like Lionel Messi. He has achieved a style by himself. " Such a Messi, if he were a Canadian, the scouts in Barcelona would also find him and make him the most perfect player in the world. No one would ask him to lead the Canadian team to win the world championship. Alas, he is not Spanish, but an Argentine who has won the championship and has a higher heart than the sky.

However, Messi's career is far from over. In the 214 World Cup in Brazil, Messi may have a chance to lead Argentina to the top, and he can be crowned king in Bailey's hometown. This is not an idiotic dream. Argentina is now ranked first in the South American regional qualifiers, and the whole team scored 2 goals. Guess how many goals Messi scored? Seven!
