Messi: “With these guys it’s all very easy”

Messi: “With these guys it’s all very easy”

Chosen as FIFA Club World Cup’s best player which earned him the Adidas golden ball, Lionel Messi downplayed his contributions and said he was just happy for the team.

“I am very happy [for] we had played a great match. I was lucky to become once again [the best player]. It’s nice but it is to win us the title. Perhaps you cannot get a feel of what all this means to us.”

While the result seems special, he didn’t see it as a one off.

“It’s not the first time we played that well, but being a final against Santos perhaps it stands out more. The reality is this team is used to doing this.”

For him, the key to the successes of this team lies in “the dressing room atmosphere. The strong desire we have in wanting to achieve more. A coach who keeps on pushing us, and preparing for all the matches as if they were finals…”

“The idea is to always have the ball, regardless of the opponent. But the truth is, playing with these guys just makes it all so easy.”

Finally, asked whether he had spoken with Neymar and what his thoughts were of him, Messi kept it short.

“I did speak a bit with him at the end. Nothing more,” accompanied with a wink at the reporters.

    ot:

    *guys,i said last year that we won 6 cups in 2008/09 Bcuz we scored 6 goals many times in that year in any game.

    *We won 5 cups this year same number in our goals in more matches in last year.

    *now we score 4 goals in more matches and maybe we will win 4 cups in next year.

    If its correct and continue i want that 4 be LIGA,UCL,CWC,europ SC.by God help.ensha’allah.

    *if number of our goals are related to our championships I dont like number of our goals be decrease!

      5-0 is still our most common scoreline this year. In fact, I don't think 4-0 is our second most recurring. It's 2-2.

      • love me barca says:

        u can count them.
        vs viktoria-saragosa-rayo-al sadd-santos we scored 4 goals(4-0) and vs villareal-at.madrid-mallorca-levante-bate scored 5 goals (5-0),now i hope we continue in resume of season more with 5 goals than 4, it remember us same well known 5-0(manita) and add 1 to our cups for next year.

        barca 4 life.

    messi also got a key to the city!!! now he can go back to japan whenver he wants. my japanese isn't perfect, but i understood the guy in the funny black coat to say somethign along the lines of "here is a key that opens the important locks to the city", and then asked him a question abotu his life in spanish. messi didnt like japan, that is why he didnt want to talk to them anymore. watch this youtube video for proof:

    ‎​Ȋ̝̊̅ ‘m proud to ßε̲̣̣̣̥ A̶̲̥̅̊ partaker of such A̶̲̥̅̊ great historical moment like this. BARCA TILL DEATH.

  15. Haneen says:

    Wow Leo! your such a great player, and what a great day was this everyone, V.happy! V.grand. And I only felt like this with Barca.

  16. Trays says:

    Leo hardly winks but WHENEVER he does, it is his body language sign of good things to come. Remember the last game he winked at a camera??? Remember how many goals he scored that day??? That aside, he is not one that really cares about the glitz and glam the camera has to offer, over the years from what I know, he is straightforward, business focused, face frowned, more direct, like A MAN even on the pitch, unlike a certain player in a certain brutal-white-team, that is concerned with a ”prettyboy” image so much that he even wears lip gloss to the pitch… And so, in Neymar’s case where he winked at the reporters after admitting he had a word with him (Neymar), you can bet on it, it is a sign of good things to come…

  17. melissa_fcb says:

    leo is so humble and kind……….i am sure whatever he said to neymar is sure to lift the kid's spirits after the game ………..
