What is talent on the football field?
In my humble opinion, a strong physique, absolute speed, agile footwork, keen intuition, and broad vision are all talents. Messi possesses some of these qualities, and in addition, has a unique "foot frequency."
In one-on-one duels, with his ability to dribble and maneuver since childhood, he doesn't even need to use fancy moves like stepovers. In 0.5 seconds, before the ball drops, his ankle can produce a phantom - it's terrifying enough.
Stepovers only hinder his dribbling efficiency.
Messi swept past Chen Zhong like the wind, his nimble figure resembling a "flea," hard to catch and pin down in the haste.
Barcelona fans on the stands expressed their surprise and excitement, and Boarcelona fans broke into cheers, albeit faint under the hissing.
Pellegrini clutched his heart, mumbling something, no one knew what.
His gaze looked urgently towards the team's defense, with Pepe and Albiol still there.
