On the hills of the gods, the destiny of a great game, fulfilled by sweat, pleaded by blood, delivered on a platter of chaff. Through thick and thin, agony, anguish, angst and near disappointment dead ends. Immortalized in cloak, walking like an enigma, accompanied by the greats, LIONEL MESSI LIFTS THE WORLD CUP.
The 2010 Spanish side became a model after the entry downfall to the Arabian Sheiks. In the midst of the shockwaves, putting up an unexpected performance against one of the top sides rated sides Qatar, the Saudi Arabian coach, Hervé Renard says: “Argentina will qualify from thegroup stages and win the world cup”. Written in the stars!
No one would have given a group of little boys a chances, but they have the man who does know ‘the impossible’. Give him ten log of woods and he would give you ten shades of joy. Messi does the impossible. The impossible does not know him.
In the land of the round leather greats: exemplary Scholes, finesse Iniesta, legendary Alves, Thiago Silva, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cafu, Buffon, Ronaldo, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Zizou, Maradona and the tales of Arantes Do Nascimento (Pele), one man stands tall: Lionel Messi.
The flea, la pulga, the witch, the myth, the fairytale, sizzler, perennial seizer of the day. The magic man, the mystery man, a man of tales that exists in reality. ‘Genius’ devalues him,‘brilliant’ undermines this man:Lionel Andres Cuccitini Messi. Ray Hudson says of him: “this man is just mainline to pure footballing magic, that belongs in a different galaxy altogether that we are living in! Absolute astonishing jaw-dropping genius from Lionel Messi… he emasculates them individually and collectively!
…as cool as a bomb-disposal expert on the run. He knows the laws of physics, but they don’t know him!
Samuel Etto bore him witness: “the god of football, if there is, is Messi”. It is a common saying that the gods wanted to play football and they came in the body of a man and named him Messi. The whole world adores Rosario; thank you for giving the man who was going to be the soul of the greatest gameforever, the opportunity to thrive.
Other footballers after him can only read the books of history to emulate the ‘inmessionante’ skills of Messi. The Messiah of the round leather game.
A world cup in a desert, a place of emptiness, there did Messi harvest great joy to the hearts of all fans, stans, legends all across the world.
Thank you, Lionel, the best there is, the best there ever has been, the best there ever will be.
P.S: ‘Inmessionante’ is a word in the Spanish culled from word ‘Messi’. The word means: ‘the perfect way to play football, an unlimited ability to self-improve’. It also ‘describes the Greatest player of all time’
