From Uefa:

World at Messi's feet

Lionel Messi's fans are not just paying spectators. Juan Sebastián Véron says: "I see Maradona every time he grabs the ball and accelerates. But he is shy, like a little brother who likes to hang out with PlayStation rather than talk. We must protect him. I'd personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table." Johan Cruyff, whose mantle Messi is set to inherit at FC Barcelona, says Messi "deserves ten out of ten for doing what he does. The problem is that a policy of 'me against the world' might turn against you if you try it every time. He needs to regulate himself, learn when to pass it quick and when to try the impossible dribble he is so capable of doing. He must learn that when you have four players marking you, there are team-mates unmarked. When he learns this, he won't win a single Golden Ball, but an entire collection."
