In the last Year Leo Messi has increased the rythm.
On 11 November, Messi scored twice at RCD Mallorca, his 75th and 76th goals in 2012, surpassing Pelé's milestone of 75 goals (1958) in a calendar year, and moved within nine of German legend Gerd Müller's all-time Guinness World Records title.[156][157] His 77th and 78th goals came against Real Zaragoza at Camp Nou which moved Messi seven goals away from the record.[158] On 20 November, Messi scored twice at Spartak Moscow, his 79th and 80th goals of 2012 and moved to within five goals of the record.[159] Messi continued his scoring run against Levante UD on 25 November with his 81st and 82nd goals of the year which moved him within three goals of Müller.[160] On 1 December, Messi scored twice against Athletic Bilbao,
his 83rd and 84th goals of the year, meaning he pulled to within one
goal of Müller's record set in 1972. The two goals also meant Messi
equaled Barcelona's all time leading goalscoring record in La Liga, which was held by César Rodríguez with 190 goals.[161] On 9 December, Messi scored twice against Real Betis, his 85th and 86th goals in 2012, surpassing Müller's milestone of 85 goals scored in a calendar year in 1972 with Bayern Munich and the German national team, as well as surpassing Rodríguez's record for most league goals for Barcelona.[162][163][164] On 12 December, Messi increased his record to 88, after scoring twice against Córdoba CF in the first leg of a Copa del Rey game.[165] Messi then sent an autographed Barcelona shirt to Müller in acknowledgement of beating his record.[166] On 16 December, Messi scored twice in a 4–1 Barcelona victory against Atlético Madrid, increasing his record to 90 goals.[167] The tally found its end at 91 goals in a year after Messi scored once against Real Valladolid.
On 18 December 2012, it was announced that Barcelona would renew the contract of Messi, extending it until 30 June 2018.[168] The contract was signed 7 February 2013.[169]
On 7 January 2013 odds-on favourite[170] Messi won the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or, again beating Cristiano Ronaldo into second place with team-mate Andrés Iniesta third. In doing this, Messi became the only player in history to win the Ballon d'Or four times.[171] Messi described receiving the accolade as "really quite unbelievable" and "too great for words".[172] The achievement fuelled media comparison of Messi with former greats of the sport such as Diego Maradona and Pelé.[173][174]
On 27 January 2013, Messi scored 4 goals in a 5–1 win against Osasuna, including his 200th goal in La Liga, becoming the 8th player and the youngest player to do so.[175] This brought his La Liga tally for the season up to 33, and his goalscoring total to 44 goals in all competitions.
On 16 February 2013, Messi scored his 300th Barcelona goal the La Liga match against Granada CF, later scoring again in the match to bring his tally to 301 goals in 365 official matches.[176][177][178]
On 2 March 2013, Messi scored a goal against Real Madrid in a match
that Barcelona lost 2-1. With that goal, Lionel Messi equalled Alfredo Di Stefano's Clasico goals record of 18.[179] On 9 March 2013, Messi scored after coming on as a substitute against Deportivo de La Coruña, scoring in his 17th consecutive league match and breaking the all-time world record.[180]
On 12 March, Messi scored 2 goals to help Barcelona to defeat AC
Milan(4-0) in the 2nd leg of Champions League and helps Barcelona to
quarter-finals.[181] With this he became the 2nd all-time top scorer of UEFA Champions League excluding qualifying rounds.[182]
This year an incredible fight between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo projected in the clasic FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid battle, opens the question about who is the best football player? Cristiano Ronaldo in the last years has showed a great scoring capacity even playing as left wing, Messi has similar performance in La Liga playing as false striker, but with less penalty shots oportunities. Cristiano seems superior in long distance shot, head-kick, and penalty shot efficency. Messi doesn´t need open spaces to score, has better dribling and high speed ball driving, he has an incredible left leg precission and more game vision, with more definitive passes. Ronaldo is both leg oriented, Messi rarely uses his right leg.
But If we compare numbers at current Messi´s age ( he is 3 years younger), we see that the argentine player is far away from Cristiano.
Messi, age
24, has broken last 21st March, the score record in FC Barcelona that was
in possession of the mythic Cesar, who played for Barcelona in 40s and
50s, scoring 235 goals after leaving Barcelona at the age of 35.
Frannk Rijkaard gave him his league debut against RCD Espanyol on 16 October 2004 (at 17 years
and 114 days), becoming the third-youngest player
ever to play for Barcelona and youngest club player who played in La Liga.
In the 2003-2004 season, when he was still only
16, Messi made his first team debut
in a friendly with Porto that marked the opening of the new Dragao stadium
But let analyze, are we in front of the best football
player ever?
Messi is the
fourth football player to win three
Ballons d'Or, after Johan Cruyff,Michel
Platini and Van Basten and the second player to win three consecutive
Ballons d'Or, after Platini. It is always difficult to
compare different generations of sports people. However I have seen the best of
what these great
players have done and compared to Messi it seems rather ordinary. Maradona is remembered most for his wonder goal against England but
Messi has scored a number of goals
like it. Pelé has won three World
Cups which is unbelievable but I question the standard of opposition he came up
against. He never played in top European leagues, and while I don't rule out
South American leagues completely, his goal scoring exploits in Brazil have to
be questioned. Messi is playing in an era where every team is organized and
very professional. In the Champions League he plays against the strongest,
fastest and smartest defenders around, and he destroys them. That coupled with
the fact that sport evolves and naturally players
become better and better suggests that Messi is the best player who has ever lived. But the numbers appoint Pelé was the best at age 24.
The goalkeeper position has always required a high responsability, and technical conditions. Great football players have palyed in the history, in that position. Amadeo Carrizo, one of the begginers in the innovation of technics and strategies in the goalkeeper position., as get out from the box, and participate in the defense, throwing on the feet of the striker to remove the ball or using the long pass to initiate the attack. Selected by IFHHS as the best everSouthamerican goalkeeper.
The great Rugilo, and his renembered game in Wembley against England. The incredible René Higuita, and his spectacular scorpion save. The temperament and personality of the great captain of the Paraguay team, Chilavert. Or The great Brasilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni, good in savings but also the greatest scorer from that position of all the time. What can we say of the worldchampion Taffarel, or the legendary Gilmar Dosantos or the well known Mazurkiewicz from Uruguay.
Out of the america continet, we have to mention the best african goalkeeper of all the time,the cameroon Thomy N`Kono, legend of the Espanyol of Barcelona. It is honest to include also in the list the great Korean Wonn-Jae Lee, one of the few asian football players that have played in 4 world champions.
Chose your favorite between the top25. Here you have the best 25, most of them from Argentina. Let´s vote.
I will begin this blog trying to select the best goalkeepers of all time. To make it easier this week we will focus on the goalkeepers from Europe. I will leave here the 25 best names, to open discussion.Moderns names asIker Casillas or Gianluigi Buffon or well known as best ever football players lists as Lev Yashin.
