Young Messi juggling the soccer ball. Just watch how focused a very young Lionel Messi is on juggling the soccer ball. Messi is about ten years old in this video, with the soccer ball nearly as big as he is, but this doesn’t stop him from keeping the soccer ball up and off the ground. Supposedly this juggling skills demonstration was just after playing in a youth soccer tournament in Argentina.
As Brian Phillips notes over at Grantland, Messi just loves playing soccer and trying to master the soccer ball. And that’s why he became the best soccer player in the world. He loved to play and only wanted to try to get better and better. Even now Messi has said he’s always trying to improve, as in how he now scores from free kicks, bending the ball into the upper corner for Barcelona when he didn’t do that before.
Then watch this juggling display by Barcelona’s Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi. |
