That sounds too intellectual for Messi.

A reply to quote of Leo always should contain a even if it's the most stupid thing one can say.
however if I didn't know whose words they were I would guess Xavi saying those looking like this:


oh btw if it's a leo quote:

"Play for the name on the front of the shirt and they’ll remember the name on the back".
Lionel Messi.

Liverpool legend, Alan Hansen

Barcelona have taken football onto another level and possess one of the finest group of attacking players I have ever seen.

Very little surprises me but there were moments in the final when I saw things I've never seen before.

The inter-passing, Messi's ability to find space and their attacking brilliance left me wondering how on Earth you could stop it.

I say that without hesitation. For all of the dominance we enjoyed at Liverpool or the sustained excellence of Milan, neither of those teams encapsulated the style and sensational football that Barcelona are now producing to such a devastating effect.

Their football is so easy on the eye and, after the football cynics having had a field day for so long, Barcelona are such a good advert for the game because they are producing football that has taken the sport to another level.

Even if you are not interested in football, it would be impossible to watch Barcelona’s performance against Manchester United at Wembley and not marvel at just how good they are.

Marco Van Basten

“I would love to have played at this club. I am envious of how well Guardiola's men can play. They are like a group of kids who play football in the street without rules. That is the best football, the most authentic, unfettered by tactics or schemes. Guardiola’s philosophy is helping to change the mindset of many tacticians and that is priceless.”

"I know isn't it cool? My take on that is it's fucking awesome."

Although perhaps what he was really thinking was cha-ching!

one of the best definition of our way to intend football

Exactly the opposite of the teams trained by mourino: tactics above class, physical above talent, schemes above fantasy, fury above brain, .... a boring way to intend soccer

I think it's comments like that from Van Basten, Hansen, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Gullit, Souness, etc...I mean, it does put it into perspective to hear from the legends of the game...They see it like the fans do, they are emotionally moved by it
