Without the rest of the barca team around him he wouldn't be half as good, let's be honest...
People miss the whole point in both Messi and Barcelona.
They play the same way as the spanish division, or i'd rather say it's the other way around, which isn't surprising since half of those players are from barca.
The point being that barca keeps passing, no glory hounds in the team, iv'e even noticed that sometimes in a perfect oportinity to shoot, the player hesistates and passes.....
Why i love Messi personally is just because of that, he's an excelent attacker, he passes so many alone, yet he will pass the ball as easely which many other great players don't do.
Glory hounds who rather shoot from anywhere if they can then to pass the ball and really get a good oportinity.
And playing on 1 player means that if 1 that one player is covered the whole team losses, which is not the case of Barcelona, nor of the spanish division.
Spain vs Italy 4-0
And yet David Villa, and puyol couldn't participate, Villa being one of the best spanish attackers, and puyol being one of the best defenders....
While Torres only came in at the 70th? minute, Torres being the Fastest attacker iv'e ever seen.( he runs as fast with the ball as any other player without it, outrunning him is quite hard)
