Feints are some of the earliest things young kids learn while training, but most dont keep up with it... Messi is a true master of this basic but effective skill
Once a legend said that :- “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” that simply for messi one skill
and to be fair he doesnt have one skill maybe this is his most used because it works well for him and is efficient but every now and then he employs other move and techniques
From my point of view being short and the way he runs by taking small steps are his greatest advantages. With this physique and proper techniques his center of mass is lower to ground than the other players which results is greater stability and ball control. He uses his weakness as his strength. REAL AND ONLY GOAT.
Dude, that's not the only reason. Ton of small players out there. It just his intuition and his insticts are on another level. He sees the game like no else. I remember watching Messi in his prime. He made passes I couldn't see while i was watching the game on TV.
His reaction time is also of the scale. When a player tries to stand him up he sets little traps to make them go for the ball. As soon as they make a move he shifts the ball and it's bye bye
Although taking small steps requires more stamina since there is more leg movement, and considering Messi throughout all his prime played full matches means he must've had insane stamina and endurance.
He's dancing, he does art with football,- more than just goals, assists, or any sport statistics (which his numbers are also mesmerizing)... Art,.. Something that unmeasurable, not counted in statistic numbers, yet extremely divinely precious. Nobody else does both, artistically and statistically, especially constantly, weekly, always does it entertainingly at highest level for almost 20 years now.
Absolutely, his artistry on the football field is unparalleled. He's not just a player, he's an artist who elevates the beautiful game to another level. His statistics are impressive, but it's the way he creates magic on the pitch that truly sets him apart. It's a treat to watch him play every week and he's been doing it at the highest level for almost two decades now.
Master in physics and aerobics and movement , messi doesn't think about the opponent that much as he does on his next move, he's out of this world super level of entertainment I'd been receiving out of watching our man here... Salutes GOAT 🐐🐐
Incredible. His balance is otherworldly. Its not just his momentum and agility and the way he dips his shoulder. The strength of those knees to hold him up when he leans so heavily into the feint and then to twist his hips and explode the other way is incredible. And pay close attention to his other foot, the one he uses to escape after making the feint. Its almost always completely bend before he even completes the feint, allowing him to take his next touch so quickly and so sharply. But for him to do all that while balanced on one leg, and to do it for so so many years, he's just too good.
If he goes left the defender goes left then he escapes right If the defender doesn’t go left when he goes left then Messi can just escape left The defender has no choice but to always go where Messi goes cause his acceleration is fast
3:22 wow... amazing that move and the song with the piano is just flawless. Great video with such a great song for a genius player. Ladies and gentlemen, Leo Messi ❤️
Now that i think about it, i should make more Messi videos with classical music, i haven't seen that many on youtube and it's an emotional and beautiful combo, thanks for the comment man
Messi understand exactly how players will react on his movements and he outsmarted and outmanuvered them based on that. For me thats the highest skill you can achieved in football.
Not only that, Messi has perfect control of the ball while his eyes are reading the defender's body movement. Also he places the ball close enough to the adversary to make them believe that they have a shot at taking the ball away from him but they fail because it was just like a bait.
It takes more than skills to make what Messi does, make defenders believe he's going to run in certain direction, them he moves the other side leaving defenders chasing shadows
It looks so easy but anyone who played pro or semi pro soccers knws that Messi ball control and agility is out of this world. He is so quick with the ball but at same time the ball never leaves his feet.
This guy showing the world that a small touch and tap on the ball from by 2 sides of foot with the art of decieving Defenders all enough to beat any defense.
For all Messi's jaw dropping moments, there's little flash or fancy. Very efficient at how he wins! Personally, I use Messi as a metaphor to help me attack my goals with his laser focus and energy explosions in mind! It really helps!!!
Pasarán los años y las nuevas generaciones volverán sus ojos al pasado para ver al mejor jugador de la historia del futbol. Gracias Dios por ponerlo en mi equipo y darme tantos momentos maravillosos, me hiciste feliz, me hiciste llorar, me hiciste tantas veces campeón. Gracias Messi, gracias maestro. Eres y serás siempre el numero 1
There were many like messi able to move pass defenders, but one thing for sure is that messi was on a whole nother level with those body feints. So simple yet effective as fuck. Messi truly is one of a kind and so is every other footballer. Don’t fight over who was the better player instead become a better YOU bc nothing is more amazing than becoming the best version of your character.
bullshit, there was no better player than messi stop the cap. he is one of a kind full stop. there never was any competition betwen him and others, ronaldo was just a good goalscorer but as a player he is nothing compared to messi
His ability to chip the ball on someone so close to him and get it exactly where he wants is incredible. And this skill carries over to his shooting too.
His ability to wait for opposition to commit and then still quick enough to move the ball before he gets there is absolutely ridiculous....greatest EVER
Its not about the feints but your ability after the feint that matters. You can say messi uses feint but he's moving real fast like a dart from right to left
It really is art, like watching DaVinci paint a masterpiece. No one can do quite what Messi can do. His low center of gravity helps him make such quick directional changes, too quick for the defenders to keep up. If you watch videos of him as a kid & teenager, he was doing this from the beginning. He just honed that skill to perfection over time, along with his many other skills. ❤
minuto 1:43 esa habilidad en los pies es bestial, tiene una tremenda habilidad a su manera no necesita de tantos lujos si el quisiera los hiciera pero prefiere jugar a su manera
It’s not just the body feints, it’s also his acceleration. He goes 0-25 mph in half a second laterally and can change back in the opposite direction in the next second…
Imagine Messi in his prime, imagine you´re a professional football player, imagine your team is facing his team, imagine your coach says before the match "well you stay on Messi tonight"
There will probably never be a better dribbler than messi. I dont know if its even possible to be better than he was at his prime. Probably not. He solved most difficult situations with kindergarten simplicity. No one ever was so chill by dealing and overcoming the most difficult situations. No one change direction of running faster than he. 3:22 it's just art.
Feints are some of the earliest things young kids learn while training, but most dont keep up with it... Messi is a true master of this basic but effective skill
It's Messi's number 1 skill and it doesn't require that much speed with age Messi's speed has gone down but his body feints are still 💯
Agreed, feints are fundamental for young players to learn and Messi's mastery of them is truly impressive.
The single most important skill in football is to get past an oponent. aka 1vs1.
The best players are those who master this.

@@aminetanouyat9643
But he doesn't need as large a skill set as the ronaldos dinho neymar robinho etc.
Bruce Lee,, Love..
But his teammates say he doesn't even practice freekicks too much!
The world is in slow motion for him..he sees the opponents movement before they even move😂😂 ...he has different eyes and brains to everyone else
@Honest Manchester United Fan if his brain is faster then the others' is slower so tactically you're agreeing with me
Yeah his reflexes are too fast
That's why he's a goat
Fact is messi can see the future 🙏
@@reemoaphrodi6319 That´s exactly the explanation of a friend of mine, when I asked him... ;-)
This man can bring you to tears with beauty and elegance of his work. No man, alive or dead, has ever come close to Messi in his prime. GOAT
He is an artist. His every single touch is poetry.
AMEN
Lucky to be born in Messi's Era what he does on the pitch is exceptionally magical
1:20 Legendary defender Roberto Carlos gets fainted by the awesomeness of Messi the GOAT
carlos was hit by a truck🤣
Truthfuly a little magician, it's so satisfying to watch
My favourite part of Leo's playstyle for sure
It's safe to say that he has the strongest knees in the world.
Spot on, too agile and quick for everyone
Also those knees and legs got hit by defenders during every dribbling. Safer to say.. strongest knees
Actually true, Ronaldo Nazario tried this and he fucked his knees
Work ethic. You won't see Messi hooking up, drunk or partying like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc. He is just driven to play football.
Nop
The split second decision making, the vision, the BRILLIANCE IS, and will be for many decades to come, be incomparable to the talent of LIONEL MESSI.
Not only did he dribble defenders but he Beat my EYES beat my MIND beat my SOUL.
AND MY AXE
😂 loved that. Same mind ;)
Something so simple yet so beautiful 🥲
YOU NAILED IT!!!

Salutes GOAT 🐐🐐
Great observation! Messi's focus on his own moves rather than his opponent's indeed sets him apart. Salute to the GOAT!

когда я смотрю видео с участием этого грандиозного чистейшего гения, у меня слезы на глазах! ведь он по настоящему радует меня, уже более 15 ти лет!
I can' t stop watching him, it looks so easy. Enjoy him as much as you can !
That double tap cut @3:24 is ageless. I remember it like it was yesterday. Then the finish!!
Body feint is another football skills entirely and Messi does it better than any player❤
This for me ,is the most effective dribble ever!.🐐
Same
And step overs
Master craftsman of Modern football 👍👍👍
1:31 I love the way Messi just waits until the guy drops to the floor so he can just run past him. 🤣
Not only are his skills out of this world, but Messi seems to be a half second faster than everyone else.
Ninja 🥵
@@ninjarap1330that is why zidane said while he is a second ahead of anyone Messi is three seconds faster
Distinto, es el arte de tener una zurda distinta, no tengo palabras de agradecimiento por poder ver tan gran artista, gracias.
naaaaaah! is not just body feints. it's also the fact that he is able to quickly see how the defender leans one way and he goes the other way. damn!
If he goes left the defender goes left then he escapes right
If the defender doesn’t go left when he goes left then Messi can just escape left
The defender has no choice but to always go where Messi goes cause his acceleration is fast
It’s the most incredible ball
It's the magnets in his boots.
its almost as if he has future vision
His brain always works in the moment..not some planned routine 🎉
3:22 wow... amazing that move and the song with the piano is just flawless. Great video with such a great song for a genius player. Ladies and gentlemen, Leo Messi ❤️
Thank you! 🙌
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Beautifully worded 🙌
That ref-shakeoff just never gets old.
Who else does that?? No, who else COULD do that?! lol
Messi:piernas,fuerza, inteligencia,sagacidad objetivo,todo en un solo jugador, el es fantastico!!!!!!
Carlos Tevez: *"Messi plays a different sport than us"*
Accurate words
That dribble at 1:53 was insane. Xabi Alonso did so well. He had an additional 2 players supporting him. Still could not stop Messi.
Something about Messi and classical music that makes me wanna cry 😭 that part in the beginning
Now that i think about it, i should make more Messi videos with classical music, i haven't seen that many on youtube and it's an emotional and beautiful combo, thanks for the comment man

Beautiful... Every movement evey touch.. it's jst beautiful..
O drible dele as 3:23 minutos de vídeo é impressionante é humanamente impossível pela velocidade do lance e sem olhar para a baliza
Nunca te retires genio, me hacés muy felíz con tú juego🙌🏻😃⚽...
The amount of times I watched this video is unbelievable…
Glad you enjoy it 🙌
People do tons of skills still can't beat 4-5 defenders and messi generally uses no complicated skill and go past 4-5 like they are school boys
He is simply a genius
oh theres more skills then youi could possibly imagine you just dont see it
Centre of gravity baby, it's all the game of center of gravity.
It takes more than skills to make what Messi does, make defenders believe he's going to run in certain direction, them he moves the other side leaving defenders chasing shadows
Messi has no skills
At 4;36 Messi breaking dybalas spirit gave me pure joy

Great point! Messi's efficiency and laser focus can definitely serve as a great inspiration for achieving our own goals.
Efficiency is the key word
i can watch messi doing this for hours, while i get bored very quickly of players that do flashy moves and barely beat 1 2 defenders
One of the best video i ever seen about messi's magic 🔥
Thank you 🙌
He's been doing this for more than a decade and a half, non-stop. Barely believable.

One word, he is a legend that has always been in our hearts and minds

Idk why but for me, the thumbnail hits different. Brings back some good old memories ⚽💝
Absolute God of football...... Fantastic video, very well made.
Agree and thank you ❤
Messi fans watch this slow mode... its pure beauty.. i was awestruck
His ability to chip the ball on someone so close to him and get it exactly where he wants is incredible. And this skill carries over to his shooting too.
The evolution from when he is young and using his quickness to when he gets older and the technique is flawless and he is out thinking opponents
He plays with his body more than the ball , so fast so smart and destructive for any defence
He's like reading the minds of his opponents
he doesn't need to dazzle you with fancy tricks and dribble moves, he just straight up goes for the kill
He is the Napoleon of football
Messi is all time greatest footballer.
messi is most talanted player in football history
An instantly iconic video !
