Argentine star Lionel Messi is so revered by Barcelona’s demanding fans because of his attitude, which has not altered since the days when he linked up with Fabregas in a Barcelona youth team that produced a harvest of footballing beauty.
“To me, football is the most important thing. It is more important than the money and the personal glory. When I am on the pitch, it doesn’t matter if it is a Champions League Final, I feel like a child,” News of The World quoted Messi, as saying.
“When I am running with the ball, nothing else matters and I think I am the only person that exists in the entire planet. When I am playing football I am totally free, no amount of awards or money can buy you freedom that is why I am so totally in love with the game,” he added.
It is an ethos that would surely find favour with Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger, the manager charged with finding a way to thwart the World Footballer of the Year.
