A facebook user blames Messi for his teams failure to qualify into the finals of the the Champions League. He explained that Messi is a bad captain who can't motivate his team to get the desired one goal necessary for their qualifying.
A case study of Liverpool/Barcelona.
Sometimes you need a motivator. The talent is not enough.
Messi needs to go through thorough training on captaincy. He’s a great footballer on the pitch but that ends when the game favours his club.
Whenever Barca is losing, you wouldn’t imagine the captain of the team rubbing hands on his head.
Istanbul history of Liverpool vs AC is fresh, imagine a Liverpool team by 3 goals down. Gerrard’s magnetic actions was historic, cheering the fans, the players and force their mind to know anything is achievable.
Ronaldo at the Euro semis got an injury. It was a heavy news to digest, our dear CR7 wouldn’t play in the final, look what he did in the final.
His coaching prowess overshadowed the original manager, he shouted at the line, motivated, dramatized and Portugal won the trophy without their best player. That’s how captains behave.
Henderson is one of the most useless player in Liverpool’s squad, but look at his actions yesterday, he’s the one running to pick balls, when a captain acts like this. It’s a motivation to other players.
Messi is a football god but lacks captaincy traits. A player who has lost finals in country side and all what he thought of was retirement. Dang! A whole captain of the team.
All what was needed yesterday was an acting captain, shout at your players, vex at the ones playing rubbish, be the coach inside the pitch. Your team needed only 1goal, it would come out. You were not in your best but you could ginger the beast in others. Omg!! Just only 1 goal.
