Nah, the argument just evolved into whether Messi's not being the same for PSG was solely due to age.
I bring up these Argentina numbers because they show that Messi in his prime was also not nearly as good away from Barcelona based on his NT form.
Literally what the FUCK is the POINT of this line of argument?
Ok fine let's concede that Messi could only succeed in Barcelona's "system" (even though there were a variety of styles of play throughout his tenure and he excelled regardless but let's ignore that)
SO WHAT?
It's not like there's some catalan cosmic controller pulling the strings on Messi whenever he's wearing a Barcelona jersey. It's still HIM, INDIVIDUALLY, PUTTING OUT CONSISTENT WORLD CLASS performances throughout an almost 13 year period. It's
still messi dribbling past 5 Real Madrid players and scoring a solo goal in a CL semi final. It's still Messi scoring 50 goals or so every fucking year.
It's literally the dumbest fucking anti-Messi argument there is. I just don't get it.
It's like arguing that ok sure Einstein may have been a historical genetic freak in regards to his intelligence, but if he was never born to a decent family in a decent country and had access to quality education then he would've never achieved what he achieved.
But so what. He was born to a decent family, he was born in a good country, and he did have access to a good education. That doesn't change or diminish the fact that his
inherent talent was immense nor does it take away from his achievements.
Like literally the whole point of your argument is that, oh oh...a talented person heavily benefited from all the good infrastructure surrounding him (in this case sporting infrastructure), like it would benefit literally every type of person on earth.
I mean, duh?
Once again, so what?
Seriously shut the fuck up with this shit.
Unfortunately this forum was once a place you could actually talk seriously about football, players and FC Barcelona. Too bad Bojan and others allowed this forum turn into an utter shit.
