00:00Ronaldinho
00:10This is the first one, and Messi can achieve the goal!
00:15What a goal!
00:18Leo Messi
00:20The connection is interesting with Ronaldinho
00:23No, the truth is that at that moment I didn't think of anything
00:27I was enjoying playing in the Camp Nou
00:31To be able to participate in the first Barcelona
00:35The truth is that I didn't think of the goal
00:53I was able to get this into the first Barcelona
00:55The Nein
01:03The win
01:04The win
01:09The win
01:12The win
01:15The win
01:17On the win
01:18Well, I felt a little nervous and with a lot of desire, I had a lot of anxiety to be able to debut,
01:46because it was so expected for me, so I was a little impatient.
01:54I had been training with them for a long time and I had all the tranquility and the confidence necessary
02:04of the whole team and the team to be able to debut with tranquility.
02:10It was a very special day for me, for what it meant,
02:14for the dream I was looking for.
02:18To be honest, there wasn't much of a buzz about Messi making his debut with the team,
02:30because at the time it was just a kid that came in with number 30 with a shirt that was bigger than his size really.
02:36When he actually came up into the first team to train and he had already jumping teams, because he had been in the B-side not for long,
02:46but obviously, like I realized under the recommendation of some of the coaches in the academy that he was a special talent,
02:53so I decided to bring him into the first team.
02:55And at the end of that first training session, Ronaldinho approached somebody and said,
03:01that guy who just came in, 17-year-old, is going to be better than me.
03:06This is Ronaldinho, who was the number one in the world at the time, but realized that there was something very, very special there.
03:12Well, it was a very fast game, where the archer stayed at the middle of the road,
03:26where the player was just hitting me, like to throw it up.
03:31The truth is that everything was done to define it in that way.
03:35It was a very nice moment, the way they celebrated it with me, the joy of everything, it was very nice.
03:48Ronaldinho looked after him and Ronaldinho wanted to give him the ball.
03:51And then, of course, Ronaldinho asked him to jump on top of him.
03:54And you could see this kid, this young Argentinian, jumping on the back of what he was at the time,
04:01the best player in the world, Brazilian.
04:03So Brazilian and Argentinian, but they got on very well.
04:06And you could see in there that Ronaldinho had a special feeling, and still has, for Messi and vice versa as well.
04:13That relationship grew and that allowed, for good and bad reasons, allowed Messi to learn a lot.
04:33It was a very beautiful day, for what it meant to be a goal in the world.
04:45I think it was the second game.
04:48The first game I didn't have entered.
04:50I had to go for a while and make a goal, and it was really nice.
04:54We played Serbia, one of the toughest defenses in Europe at the time.
04:57I think he got to the World Cup with, I think, zero goal conceded.
05:01So that was a great game.
05:04There were some great goals, some great football.
05:06There was a goal that we all remember that we touched the ball 27 times.
05:10I think Cambiazo scored.
05:12Messi started on the bench, I think, and then he came on later.
05:15And then he added to that festival.
05:17We smashed two pieces, one of the toughest defenses in world football.
05:21But then we thought, you know, we did okay.
05:25Maybe it is fine.
05:27Messi coming in, bringing something extra.
05:30But not at the time.
05:32He was a good player, a very good player.
05:34But not what he was about to come.
05:36New Guitarากon Review
05:50As I said, it was really cool to try the game out of match.
05:55Even before球 season 1, Hikimi 것이 gonna compete with English,
05:59it was awesome to have done 3 rounds in the world.
06:05the world
06:10the messi cambia cambia realmente el ánimo no de no del equipo de todo el mundo o sea cuando leo
06:16messi en vez en sus ojos yo lo sé ver yo lo conozco desde que tiene 16 años yo le miro los ojos y
06:24veo en sus ojos cuando él decide ganar los partidos y veo los ojos de messi cuando es
06:31capaz de crear en el campo una psicosis absoluta en rival él como hacía ronaldo el gordito el fenómeno
06:41provoca miedo provoca miedo y ese miedo inmoviliza al rival es de los pocos futbolistas que es capaz
06:51de como de congelar la imagen parece que el resto que los defensas no se muevan parte como si estuvieran
06:58congelados por el efecto de leo messi leo messi provoca ese efecto y lo provoca sobre todo en
07:03los jugadores de real madrid
07:16nada la verdad que no pienso en la jugada cuando cuando estoy dentro de un campo se va dando y
07:24bueno se fue se fue dando así se fue se fueron abriendo los pasos fue encontrando el camino para seguir y bueno
07:32terminan en el gol que terminó siendo pero era apenas recibir el balón la verdad que no no imagina
07:38no lo que yo siempre me acuerdo de una jugada en el entreno a los niños del bar sabía que estaba en la jugada
07:45siempre a gente mistura el equipo yo estaba en un jugador de bar sabía que el messi encaró a él y yo estaba
07:50atrás contra un gol no no entra no entra no entra no era el hombre que fue para atrás y fue para
07:56para para cuando el fue chutar y nos atacamos y nos hicimos así para dentro los dos en el chão
08:02y nos hicimos con el robo a un lado entonces si tú entras va a tirar de base si tú aguentar
08:07él va a tirar también es una cosa casi imposible marcarlo
08:11el messi ya venimos enfrentando desde categorías de base cuando el messi surgió desde futebol en 2005
08:18el mundial en la holanda a gente hizo la semifinal brasil y argentina y el fue el mejor jugador de la partida
08:25fue el mejor jugador de la competición entonces todo el mundo ya vio que allí estaba naciendo un fenómeno
08:31todo el mundo va firme en él, da mucha entrada dura en él y él no responde nada
08:35él no reclama, yo nunca vi él reclamando de una pegada así más fuerte
08:39eso es diferencial, todo el mundo sabe que cuanto más se bater, más él va a ver para encima
08:43entonces es genial, yo admiro él
08:45la verdad que ese campeonato, ese viaje fue uno de los más especiales en mi carrera
09:06uno de los más recordados, de los más lindos por lo que significan los Juegos Olímpicos
09:12por no solo por ser campeones que tuvimos la suerte de conseguirlo
09:16por la vivencia que me tocó vivir en el poco tiempo que tuvimos en la Villa Olímpica
09:22tengo un recuerdo muy lindo de ese campeonato
09:26bueno, los Juegos Olímpicos fueron increíbles
09:29hemos probado muchas veces, perdimos las finales
09:33y fue especial, Bielsa convirtió a todos de que lo valió
09:38Leo, creo que tenía problemas con Barcelona, sobre ser lanzado
09:44se logró llegar allí
09:46fue muy importante, fue un increíble
09:48que ganamos los Juegos Olímpicos
09:50es algo que realmente queremos
09:52en realidad, nuestros vecinos, los Brazilians
09:54tuvieron que esperar un poco más que nosotros
09:56y también esperaban mucho tiempo
09:58así que el Juegos Olímpicos
10:00no es un campeonato mundial, pero es muy importante
10:02y fue algo que Leo Messi
10:04fue fundamental para lograr
10:06pero para nadie a dudar
10:12lo que ha estado haciendo para Argentina
10:14es maravilloso
10:16y creo que probablemente van a realizar
10:18cuando se ha ido
10:20Argentina pasa un GranADero
10:22porque han estado en la final de la final de la final del mundo
10:24de la final de la final del mundo
10:25serán en dos finales de la final de la final de la frontera
10:27y lo ven o ganas
10:31es que solo son los detalles
10:33podrían van plan un camino
10:34o la otra
10:35y algunos, por supuesto
10:37fueron puntos en el salón
10:39o fueron ganas
10:41en penalti shootout
10:42So to say that Leo Messi is not doing well with Argentina is basically not realizing that
10:48they are living in a special moment.
11:12But that time we didn't have to win like that.
11:16It was special for everyone, because it was a new position for me in that game.
11:27We had invented something new with him and we were probably talking about all of that.
11:35Well, for sure it's not the easiest player to stop.
11:39You know, he has so many qualities and he can do so many different things that it's difficult
11:47to find out how to stop him.
11:49I was in that match, I remember that when we ended the match, we came back together in the
11:56flight and I said, have you seen the best match of Leo Messi?
12:01He said no, the best match will be the next match.
12:05But that day, you saw the faces of the people in the Bernadéu and all of them said,
12:12oh my God, why Messi is the Barça?
12:15Yes, obviously that in that moment I thought, I imagined that goal and well, I entinted and
12:30thanks to God, it came out and it was a very important goal in all the senses, for me in the
12:39individual, for the team, for how it was put in the final, it was one of my goals most beautiful
12:48for me.
12:49The truth is that in that moment it seemed difficult to win with Ferdinand in front, but well, it
12:56fell right where I was, where I didn't have a mark and it was just the center to win.
13:03We always tried to defend ourselves well, we had a very good team, we had the Ferdinand,
13:18the Vida, the Patricio, there were players who were experienced in football and we knew
13:23that we would be playing with a great quality team.
13:25At the same time we had to defend ourselves, but we had players to attack like Cristiano
13:30Ronaldo, like Tevis, like Rune, like Disson Parque, like Giggs.
13:33So, for us, we were at the same level of Barcelona this year, because we had already won the
13:38English Championship, and we were also disputing the second Champions League team, so we were
13:43very confused.
13:51That was the moment of the game where we were above the Barcelona, where Tevis had
13:55errado a ball, where he had crossed, he had shot, the goalie had caught, and we were
14:00watching Barcelona.
14:01At the moment, with a little bit of care, he ended up making the goal in this.
14:04Daniel's crossing.
14:05The final Champions League 2009 started really in the Clásico previously, because just before
14:14the Clásico, Pepe Guardiola asked very late in the day, Leo Messi, to come to the training ground.
14:22Messi doesn't live far away from it.
14:25And showed him some clips, some videos, and said, you know that space here, in between
14:29the holding midfielders and the centre-backs, I want you to play there.
14:32That was the beginning of the false nine role that he played for Barcelona.
14:37Barcelona killed Real Madrid, but of course, it seems to me that Manchester United had not
14:42stood that game properly, because what happened in the Champions League final was that Messi
14:48started on the right-hand side, Eto'o was in the centre of the attack, and after ten minutes,
14:55having Cristiano Ronaldo had a chance for Manchester United that could have put them ahead,
15:00still nil-nil, and Pepe Guardiola asked Eto'o and Messi to change places.
15:05So Eto'o went on the right-hand side, Messi came inside, and then he became not just a false
15:11nine, but linked as well with the midfield. They created superiority in the midfield.
15:15Manchester United did not know how to deal with that, and basically that was the beginning
15:20of the victory of Barcelona.
15:23Florida Eto'o and Miaka
15:25started his first time.
15:26Juan Llano
15:29What do you think of BFPL from Barcelona?
15:31It's really nice to be the goalkeeper of a great league, so important, with so many players
15:46of a lot of level level, and to be the best goalkeeper, it's a very good statistic.
15:57This is a player that my generation has not seen before. I don't think we've ever seen before.
16:18And it's down to the consistency of his efforts, his performances in big games as well.
16:24The fact that he's carried a team like Barcelona to win everything.
16:28And Barcelona won with Pep Guardiola, with Tito Villanova, with Tata Martino, with Luis Enrique.
16:35And in the middle of all that, there was one thing coinciding, and that was Messi.
16:40So we're talking about the team that perhaps is one of the greatest in history, certainly
16:44one that has changed history, but again, it coincides that has Messi in it.
16:49The truth is that it was a long day because everything was done, right?
17:02It was the goal 500, the 3-2 in the last minute.
17:06It was a game where, if we didn't win, we almost left the league.
17:13It was a goal that gave us hope to continue to dream about the league.
17:18It was a game that we deserved to win by the way it was given.
17:22And, well, winning in the last minute was very special for all the barcelonists.
17:29For me, because he's the best player in the world, it's for me.
17:33He managed to stay for 10 years at the same level.
17:37And his level is different from the rest.
17:41To be able to do that for 10 years, it's something very little or almost nothing.
17:47After that, he adds up to the quality that he has,
17:52and he's already transformed into the best of history.
18:10I think that the goal is not all in a game or in a player.
18:17Meaning because the goal is probably unusual.
18:20I think that beforeother Xson definitely works and points without the standard of distinction verse.
18:22The goal was to give me a perfect come in and give up for all of our players.
18:25In a very good way.
18:27geometrIe game must be also recognized in the X pelosuars.
18:36Bル laxecchi game must be known and never watched the football season
18:40eines era.
18:42Montaise JRC at the time.
18:46The impossible is to do simple.
18:54In training, he does things that nobody does, but in a way that he hasn't been able to do.
19:03So I think that's the difference.
19:05The most important thing about him is that he doesn't have any comments.
19:17What he does inside the field is inexplicable.
19:19He's a great player.
19:25Leo Messi is a source of happiness.
19:28Happiness is higher.
19:30Here they say that Leo Messi is better than making love with your partner.
19:35Because the happiness that Leo Messi gives you.
19:38And that's what people here in Barcelona feel.
19:46This question about Messi being the greatest player ever.
19:49It's one that perhaps in ten years time we'll look back and say,
19:52why didn't we even ask?
