MESSI IS NOT A LEADER AND NOT A CAPTAIN? Okay then watch this video!
Hello everyone! You are on Vamos channel! There you can find a true passion for the number 1 game, so if you love football with all your heart - do not think for a second and give us a subscribe! Here we are going to discuss everything you’ve been concerned about!
What’s in your head when you hear Messi's last name? The winner of six Ballon d'Or? Yes! Alien? Exactly! A legend who won nothing with the national team? Unfortunately, this is also a correct statement. Leo's entire career has been compared to Diego Maradona. Unlike Barça striker Diego Armando took gold at the World Cup in Mexico, which inscribed his name in the history of not only Argentina, but the whole world. What can we say, some people even created a religion in his honor!
Let’s be honest, Messi is not doing very well in the national team so far. But the key word is YET so far. Only a gold medal in the Beijing Olympics, silver in the World Cup in Brazil and three second places in the Copa America. Moreover, two years ago a bronze one was added to the mix. Wow, have you already imagined the tension with which Messi brings his team to the Brazilian pitches of the current campaign of Copa? You will not envy that!
However, if earlier there were lots of questions about his leadership qualities, now he is transforming into a real man on the football field! The fact that he played half a match against Colombia with a bloody ankle and led the national team to the final is a clear confirmation of the matter. Yes, the hero of our today's release is Lionel Messi and his acquired leadership skills that can help Albiceleste finally get the trophy!

ARTIFICIAL LEADERSHIP IN BARCELONA
Of course, club football and performances in the national team are incomparable things. In Barcelona, there have always been leaders who were ready to tear everyone apart for the emblem and show how to fight by their example! Remember with what fire in his eyes Carles Puyol played? Thanks to his strong desire and feeling of the pulsating captain's armband, he did amazing things on the pitch! He constantly taught his teammates good manners, and they were afraid of him, although they madly respected him!
After Puyol, Xavi was the captain of Barca, the megamind and constructor of all the club's attacking attempts. He was later replaced by Iniesta, another legend that brought trophies not only to Barça, but also to the Spanish national team. Do you see how the psychotypes of Barcelona captains have changed? Tough Puyol - intellectual Xavi - creative Iniesta and from 2018 we had Messi…
Leo was never the leader of the team, so did he actually need such a rank? It was more than enough for him playing like God and always deciding the outcome with his technique. Even in case suddenly some kind of hard tackles took place - Puyol and Piqué were always there to cover his back. As the players with steel ... nerves left, Messi the club had to take on the responsibilities of a leader. Like it or not, you get paid half a billion in four years. Would you kindly work this amount out? And Messi didn’t. As for the champions league, in the losses to Roma, Liverpool and that disastrous defeat from Bayern, the blame lays not only on Valverde and Kike Setien. Barcelona had no leader in the locker room!
Everyone critisized Messi for his sluggishness on the field, but why? It's not his fault that everyone wanted to make Tony Stark out of him, although he was not even something close related! Even Leo's last season at the Camp Nou was overshadowed by the fact that the team finished third with all the chances to be triumphant in the league. He could not encourage his partners to play better in the end. As a result, they had two defeats in El Classico, a draw with Atlético and Levante, as well as a loss to Celta. Adyos, possible title chances!
HEIR OF MARADONA
And what’s with the national team? Yes, the same situation! Only instead of Puyol, the leader of Argentina was Zanetti. The legend of Inter retired in 2011, and by that time Messi was already at his best and won the second Champions League final. Therefore, it seemed logical of him replacing Javier as leader and captain. However, he was only 24 years old. And yes, parallels with Fernando Torres in Atlético can be drawn, but let's be honest, they are too different in character.
