goal keeper messi 

STYLISH LEO.......

Messi has been compared to  Diego Maradona, due to their similar playing style and stature, which gives him a lower center of gravity than most players, allowing him to be more agile and change direction more quickly, helping him to evade tackles. His short, strong legs allow him to excel in short bursts of acceleration and his quick feet allow him to keep control of the ball when dribbling at speed.His former FC Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola, once stated: Messi is the only player that runs faster with the ball than he does without it." Like Maradona before him, Messi is dominantly a left footed player. With the outside of his left foot, he usually begins dribbling runs, whilst he uses the inside of his foot to finish and provide passes and assists to team mates.
