Magnificent. Magisterial. Utterly undeniable. The absolute best in the world.
Nothing short of superlatives of this caliber can describe the talent of Lionel Messi, on display in the video you are about to watch.
Think back on the last time you played soccer. It could have been a pick-up game, or you could have some real talent and maybe it was in a legitimate competitive setting. Think back on what it took to beat a man one-on-one, how you had to judge, predict and calculate in a split second to know where the space would be, and where you had to put the ball. This is the thrill of soccer: that exhilaration is impossible to fake and is worthy of addiction. And, it is something that has been cooked and cut to perfection by Messi throughout his career.
We invite you to watch a concoction of dribbles and feints the likes of which should be avoided by those who operate heavy machinery. Lionel Messi is the pusher man of the craving we live to satisfy, and pay to watch. He takes what we long to do against one defender and does it against 3, 4, 5, and even 6.
This video is mesmerizing; it doesn’t make sense half the time; it’s the most attention you’ll pay for 15 minutes for the foreseeable future.
You’re welcome.
