Player Review
93 - Normal
He is truly a magician. Although he didn't suit my style of play but every touch he had while I used him was magical! With him, you gotta be patient, smart and wait for the moment! His long shots are sure goals most of the time. His free-kicks are fantastic.
- Finishing: Long shots, 1 v 1, driven shots, finesse shots - name it.. he's the best at it. He barely misses!
- Dribbling: I use Ronaldinho 91 card since the beginning and enjoy his dribbling. Messi is the 3rd player after Dinho and Sanchez that gave me the pleasure! It's like the ball just sticks to his feet.
- Calm under pressure: He never lost calm under pressure - whether I was losing or had 1 v 1.. His composure and reaction were on point. He would finish everything like it's the training ground
- Strength: Oh man this is a disaster for me. I use my wingers to body a lot but he couldn't stand any body check! He is more suitable for a ST and CAM position.. Since I used him as RW/RF, his strength was a weakness for me
- Positioning: He would not always get into open space. He would rather come down deep and get the ball.. get the play going and create chances.. That's why I couldn't get more than a goal per game from him
- Stamina: Not really a disadvantage for me as I used him as Stay forward winger.. but after 75 minutes he really stopped running for me so had to switch him to CAM so it wasn't really affecting me too much
