Again the guy had a short career at top level, yes. But during that short career, not only Messi, no one else came to his level and it had nothing to do with being Brazilian or Argentinian. Finishing, Free kicks, pace, dribbling, shots, passes, being imaginative, explosiveness, power, vision, in all departments, Messi has to bow down and polish his shoes for him. No one but him has been marked as if he came from another planet when he was at top form. Not even Messi. That says it all.
