It comes as no surprise that a player with the caliber of Messi is recognized by many players and coaches as one of, if not the best player ever, but how many? And what do they have to say about Messi specifically? That's the topic of today's entry, so without further ado, let's get into it.
Players such as Rooney, Lineker, Piqué, Mario Gómez, Terry, Cassano, Venables, Lampard, Hazard, Shearer, Ronaldinho, van Nistelrooy, Souness, Barton, Fowler, McDermot, Helguera, Gerry Armstrong, David Silva, Reus, Gündoğan, Vitolo, Turan, David Luiz, Chilavert, Koeman, Xavi, Rakitic, Bartra, Ben Yedder, Sergi Roberto, Vidal, Gattuso, Song, Pina, Hudson, Rashford, Phil Thompson, Guardado, Leo Franco, Steve Nicol, Burley, Winks, Trippier, Bellamy, Sidwell, Villa, Fàbregas, Puyol, Coutinho, Alves, Dembélé, Roberto Pereyra, Arthur Melo, Icardi, Robertson and Hope Solo call Messi the greatest player ever, an incredible amount as we can see, and many recognizable names appear. And if we go to the coaches, Guardiola, Luis Enrique, Wenger, Escribá, Capello and Lopetegui, again, well known names. It can be easily seen that Messi is the greatest player ever by consensus of players, but what do they say specifically?
Guardiola perfectly explained that "Don't write about him, don't try to describe him. Just watch him.", since Messi can't be explained, only enjoyed. Henry said that "Every player on the planet is in Messi's shadow. If you want to step out of Messi's shadow, you should try another sport.", highlighting Messi's complete superiority over everyone else. Finally, we have Esquivel's words: "Messi saved football. There has never been such an overwhelming, devastating, decisive and unique player.".
Messi is a very unique player, and that has been noted by everyone, which is why I made this entry. See you next time!
