LIONEL MESSI JUGGLING CHALLENGE | testing Messi's skills

Hi, I'm Lionel Messi. So, Lionel, when you first arrived in Spain as a young boy, what were some of the new things that you remember learning? For example, the physical or maybe the tactical side of football. A lot. It was a big change for me because I came from a different philosophy, a different way of working than what I find here. So, everything was practically new for me. Alright, on to the challenge. And to get Messi warmed up, we're going to start with the regular football. Not that Messi would actually need any warm-up. But you get the point. Obviously, Lionel, your ball touch is legendary. But at a young age, what kind of exercises did you do to become the best friends with the ball? Well, a little bit of what I was telling you before. When I arrived here at 13 years old, all the training was to always be close to the ball. All the training was based on the ball. Messi now, in full cross. And Messi! It's fantastic, Lionel Messi. In the modern game, what do you think is more important and why? Physique or being talented with the ball? Okay, time to step things up a bit. Let's see how Messi can handle a golf ball in just one attempt. That was not too bad at all. But we do have one last object. And this will be exciting. What makes the Nemeziz the perfect boot for you? I think he tries to show what I am on the pitch. Innovation, agility, speed. It's a boot that you see and it draws your attention and I think I identify with it. It's fascinating. Messi, first touch from him. It doesn't seem to matter what the conditions are like for Messi. Lionel Messi, what beautiful control. Unbelievable. Well, you can't ask for much more than that. A difficult moment he simply had to deal with.
