Lionel Messi usurped all the glory that belonged to Ronaldinho
Lionel Messi, the young Argentine right winger has in all honest usurped all the glory that once belonged to amazing midfielder Brazilian Ronaldinho. Both the players play hand in hand for Barcelona FC. With Ronaldinho out of form, Lionel Messi took charge and blazed forth on the pitch scoring goals and gifting his side the much needed wins. He thus slowly came to occupy the slot in the hearts of millions of fans that once belonged to Ronaldinho.
In fact, he has come to be adored as the new ‘Messi’ah of the game. True to his brilliant form, at Barcelona Lionel Messi is treated as a shepherd without who the Catalan flock seems to get lost in the wilderness of defeats. In spite of the roaring accolades in the press, Lionel Messi silently does his job and “prefers to do his talking on the pitch.”
At twenty, Lionel Messi the brilliant footballer has plenty of years before him. With his head firm on the shoulders he rightly said, “I want to keep on learning and the thing is to help the team as much as possible.” If Lionel Messi nurtures his passion for the game and maintains the same spirit of enthusiasm that has so far come to be admired by Barcelona officials and fans then the sky is indeed the limit for this amazing striker.
First full-squad practices
After returning back from their Asian pre-season tour two days ago, the bulk of FC Barcelona’s squad were joined in training yesterday by Lionel Messi, Gabriel Milito and Rafa Marquez, the three players who had been following a separate preparation plan after their participation in the Copa America.

“I am very happy and hopeful thanks to our new signings. Most of all, I am happy for (Diego) Milito and I want to get to know my new team-mates. We are armed to be one of the best teams in the world and to fight for all titles.
“I think that we can play together, it would be spectacular for the fans, but everything will depend on (Frank) Rijkaard. To my view, I would kill to have a place in the eleven.”
Messi confident of starting for FC Barcelona
Barcelona striker Lionel Messi does not believe his place in the Barcelona starting line-up is under threat despite missing the club’s tours of Scotland and Asia. The superstar was given extended leave by Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard in order to recover after having represented his country at the Copa America Cup.

When asked if he had been thinking about being pushed to the bench, he told the club’s official website, www.fcbarcelona.com: “I am relaxed in that sense.
