The longevity is INSANE. 🇦🇷🤯
Messi’s creative passing & finishing are best in the world level. But instead of acting as a dribbler all the time, he’s now moving into smart spaces off-the-ball to utilise both skill-sets. Even his 2022 World Cup version was more of a dribbler. But now it’s about his elite IQ.
Never been so less enthusiastic about an #England World Cup campaign than this.
There's not a single manager in the world - barring TT - who would have the likes of Chalobah, Spence, Quansah, Henderson, Madueke ahead of Maguire, TAA, MGW, Foden, Palmer etc.
