Lionel Messi – 5 things that come to mind?

#3 Soft-spoken

Messi is a quiet man

Being a player with superior skills has both advantages and disadvantages, like everything in the world. The fact that Messi is above the rest makes it easier for him to beat his direct opponents more often than not.

However, it also makes him susceptible to be at the end of harsh tackles from the defenders. Every now and then, you will see opposition players swarming against the Argentine and making him a subject of tackles that are borderline dangerous.

But what makes him special is his reactions to those tackles.

Like a Shaolin monk, he is often calm and doesn’t give way to wrath when being made a victim of brutality. Yes, there are times when he does lose control and show his displeasure, but he almost always keeps himself in check in these situations.

He rarely reacts and is soft-spoken in his approach, even when faced by the media.
