Mkuu
Sikonge nilikuwa sijaiona huo uchambuzi wako hapo juu, kumbe ulishamaliza kila kitu - hayo sio maoni, ndio ukweli wenyewe, tunaojua soka hatuwezi kudhalilisha utaalamu wetu kwa kukubishia; huyo jamaa hana wa kufanana naye hapa duniani ("he is in a class of his own")!
"Other players seem to chase the ball, while
Messi moves in concert with it, full speed to full stop" -

"I saw a video of Messi playing soccer here with his young nieces and nephews, dodging and feigning, moving the tiny ball with his feet,
the kids unable to take it away. The look on his face is the same as when he plays in front of millions of fans. There's something innocent about him with a ball. His friends laugh about how Messi seems somehow less than himself without one. Leguizamon told us a story. The last time Messi came to visit, they hung out in a backyard, and they watched him, uneasy, antsy. Finally, without even realizing he was doing it, he pulled a lemon from a tree and juggled it mindlessly with his feet, whole again" -

"'Some of the coaches told us not to tackle him too hard so as not to injure him.
But even if we wanted to, we couldn't get anywhere near him. He was so quick, he was impossible to tie down" - Gerard Pique,
