messi's control is way better than ronaldinho's & zidane

[l10nelandresmessii]

When this ball was on its way i was hoping Messi would control the ball like this

/watch?v=d2O-34UNJlg

But what Messi did was also really nice offcourse :)

[emsctemsct]

I think what messi did is safer (or maybe even better) than a direct control, since he could keep on moving to the opposite direction after the first touch.

[84warrenjames]

At club level those 3 years were but not for brazil, to go next to maradonas,peles, zidanes etc you have to do it on that stage and ronaldhino there was no excuse, he was never that great for brazil just like messi for argentina, messi again is the best club player ive seen but dont forget hes in prob the best club side evr with world cup winners he has scored 18 in 64 for his country that isnt good enough, 0 in wc and cops, zidane turned up on every big stage and condcuted france.

[WTFSTRIKEZ3]

Zidane and Ronaldinho probably have the best Ballcontrol of all time, but this takes nothing away from Messi's sublime qualities. Messi is getting faster and faster to an All-Round player : Midfielder,Attacking Midfielder,Striker,Second Striker,Winger.

[Erick102442]

/watch?v=5KiO5kdjvpM I ABSOLUTLY LOVE MESSI, BUT I CANT STAND WHEN SOME PEOPLE SAY MESSIS BALL CONTROL IS THE BEST...

[YkPlayA1]

Messi is better than Ronaldinho,C.Ronaldo,Zidane etc. I have so much respect for Zidane and Ronaldinho, but Messi is the best.

[rally511]

Are you people frigging dumb? He controlled the ball with one touch. Ronaldinho nor Zidane`s ball control can come close to Messi`s. 90% of you people have never seen Messi when he was playing with Ronaldinho, and that is when his touch was so fantastic. Messi`s ball control is out of this world that is why he can run past players like they are no there. Thats why he beat two defenders with his first touch in the first goal of this game.

[WTFSTRIKEZ3]

@rally511 i know you like messi , but dont get too happy with it. Messi is the best, we all know that now, but dont fool yourself saying that he has better than Ronaldinho's or Zidane's. thats a big mistake right there.

[84warrenjames]

@WTFSTRIKEZ3 Ronaldhinos are not in same league as Zidanes, he totally flopped at wc 06 and was only at the top with Barca for 3 years, you cant compare what hes done at Brazil to what Zidane done with France, r9 was brazils star, Zidane orchestrated France. Messi has outdone Ronaldhino for Barca, his goal and assits record and dribbling totally blitz ronaldhino. Messi top scorer in champs league and turns up in the finals against united, Ronaldhino didnt against Arsenal.

[WTFSTRIKEZ3]

@84warrenjames i said better ballcontrol, not better player. Messi is indeed, better than ronaldinho and in my opinion at zidanes level already or even higher, time will tell. its true ronaldinho was only at the top for 3-4 years, but those years are enough to be one of the best of all time, and thats what ronaldinho,messi,zidane are.

[cha0sstrik3r]

Lol at idiots saying Ronaldinho had better control. I dont know if Im watching the same video but Messi JUGGLES the ball, if he wanted to control it with 1 touch he could have.

[richarichie2007]

no offense to messi and ronaldinho... but ZIDANE had the best ball controll...

[Edmelvinster]

watch?v=ochSStj6jS0

Messi = 4 touches to control the ball

Ronaldinho = 1 touch

[elmagicomessi]

@Edmelvinster

messi dribbled 2 players after his amazing control

[keenanza]

look how messi just plays with the defenders. its like he's not even trying! beast

[messivert]

MESSI is god . . . . . .

[utuberish1]

yes ur right ronaldinho is the master at ball control

[gopu66]

Lio is Legend !

[AesopTV]

Messi is not human. His mother must have been probed by aliens during pregnancy, because he's definitely out of this world!!

[messihardstyler]

Ronaldinho has better "joga bonito" ball control than messi meaning tht ronaldinho does tricks while playing...Messi has a better "dribbling" controll which is harder because messi dont lose the ball when he is sprinting and dribbling at the sam time...theyre 2 different types of controll people!!

[ZedBazinga]

american commentators are so bad...

[DonFarshido]

It cracks me up how people think somebody's got a better "technique" than Messi. Concerning all aspects of football Messi has the most accurate touch ever. When it comes to first touch him and Dinho and Zidane are equals, with Dinho it looks most spectacular, with Zidane most elegant and with Messi most natural. Yes, Dinho took one touch sometimes but it depends on the situation. There the ball comes volleyed from 60 yards. And on the run, neither Dinho nor Zizou do even come close to Messi.

[Method775]

lol this is fantastic but we have to be honest the camp nou has seen a man who had better ball control then messi the name is ronaldinho

[7serendipity3]

Messi will become better, than Ronaldinho or Zidane, at "touch" and "close control" in a year or 2.

,did anyone know that messi is the only player in the world can make ray hudson SCREAM insanely on TV ?

ray hudson,,,i Fuckin Love You !!!!!!!

[ohnoothepig]

@SAD90901 Ray Hudson and Graeme Souness :)

[Ipwnnubz117]

/watch?v=ochSStj6jS0 <-- ronaldinho's touch

[zakaria10002001]

this is not play of the game

this is play of this min >>

he do it every min in the game

[boss180888]

@zakaria10002001 i think the skill-pass messi did to xavi in the end was the play of the game, followed by iniesta's dribble and shot!

WOWWOWWOWWOWWOW

[Naguiboy]

Just WOW

[14G302]

i never knew maxwell was able to do such kind of things

[ThePawlosik8]

OMG. I respect Messi, but that was normal

[chriko1904]

fantastic;)

[34vMikkel]

Do you UnknownGenius01 and allasFCB work together?? Love both of your channels!

[VolverinBVB09]

Ray Hudson! I missed him! :D

[elmagicomessi]

zidane, ronaldinho who ? ^_^

messi's control is way better

[Cooltys]

Play of the game should be Iniesta move, when he hits a post.

[kaqio]

messi could control the ball with his head..very smooth

[messi10everywhere]

amazing first touch 

[lpsebz]

great control, maxwell hit that quite hard, and he just put it to sleep

[SoccerKid615]

i would love to see ronaldo do that.

[khaoula490]

i love Ray Hudson!

[shotinthedark90]

Fuckin unreal.

[UnknownGenius01]

Great control, but Ronaldinho is better. He could kill a ball dead with one touch. He has done it more than once.

[atridastidar]

@UnknownGenius01 agreed, with all respect to messi, ronaldinho's ball control is the best i've ever seen. though messi's dribbling is better :)

[LeWydadi]

@atridastidar i dont think so messi controlof the ball is unique the ball is always near to his feet

[julianken2008]

@atridastidar I'd say Zidane had a better touch than either of them. But Messi just has this animalistic pace and agility

[BarcaFury]

@atridastidar Wouldn't dribbling be part of ball control? I still think Messi is the best at getting around defenders. He doesn't need to be flashy, his moves are purely about efficiency.

[zenmonkey666]

@atridastidar ??? messi's ball control maybe the best in the history.

[Cezarfcb25]

@atridastidar I found zidane to be a little overrated(some says that he is the best of all time) but imo he had the best first touch that I have ever seen.

[Hydro2oo9]

@Cezarfcb25 I agree, I think Zidane was a bit overrated. Laudrup was better(in my opinion), yet nobody speaks about him and everyone speaks about zidane like he's the best ever.

[Cezarfcb25]

@Hydro2oo9 True but sadly I am not old enough to have seen Laudrup play. But he must be really,REALLY good at football to be still like by the barca fans.Every barca fan that I know have forgiven him for joining real madrid, and we don't forgive players joining real madrid just like that..

[tqlax21]

@UnknownGenius01 i would argue zidane's touch was better, either way, imo messi is a better and more dangerous player than both of them, legacies aside

[rubzza]

@UnknownGenius01 true but what do you think about xavi he has a better dead touch as well.. messi was brilliant yesterday though. i don't know about villa; he's a little average lately

[JimmyGuitarist]

@UnknownGenius01 Ronaldinho just had a different kind of control, if Messi controlled it like you said, the defender would have (had the chance) to tackle him.

[AugustFreestyle]

@UnknownGenius01 Ronaldinho at his best is in my opinion better than Messi. Too bad he didn't stay at that level for more than a couple of years.

[harleyboiii]

@AugustFreestyle You are entitled to your opinion but as good as Ronaldinho was he just didn't have the killer instinct that Messi has. He may have better technique and creativity but Messi is consistently brilliant and the way he can just run through teams by himself is unique.

[AugustFreestyle]

@harleyboiii Yeah I see where you're comming from and you definitely bring up a good point. Maybe you're right, perhaps Ronaldinho was just more entertaining to watch. But let's not forget some of the goals Ronaldinho scored, he was also an incredible player and he had the ability to run past several men, eg. against Real Madrid, Chelsea and AC Milan, but yes, Messi is better in that aspect.

[19messi33]

@AugustFreestyle

I dont agree, Because its just your opinion. I dont think Ronaldinho is a more creativ player then Messi is. Messi is just brilliant and I may say this because I am following him from his 16 at the world cup -21 in the Netherlands. I just love the way he plays the game. He isnt always on his best because he doenst need to be at his best. Because he knows that the games that are the most important he will shine like he always does.

Best technique in the world. Best vision too

[mwaka369]

@UnknownGenius01 If it was Ronaldinho, he could've killed the ball on his first touch. Wouldn't even need to juggle it a couple of times to settle the ball.

[SAD90901]

@UnknownGenius01 everyone in the world knows that Ronaldinho is way way better in Control+technique,,

but if you wanna talk about dribbling ..Messi is unbelievable,,he can pass against the best defenders in the world,,and look at messi's body..it's so small against giant defenders,,i mean it's somthing you can't see it only once in 50 years :) messi is too small if you compared to Ronaldinho's body ,,i mean messi doing difficult thing with his situation .

[UnknownGenius01]

@SAD90901

Messi is the best dribbler on the planet, no question. Ronaldinho was more entertaining to watch, though. Even if the match ended 0-0, I'd watch the delayed telecast just to watch Ronaldinho.

[mwaka369]

@SAD90901 Two different styles of dribbling. Messi has better close control. I've never seen that. His touches are so delicate. I've never seen a player touch the ball so many times while dribbling. But Ronaldinho is different. Both players have the glue effect while dribbling but Ronaldinho uses his imagination. "If I use this trick, the defender will do this and then I will use this trick to get past him". When you watch Maradona play, it's like a combination of the two.

[Buck88Bla]

@UnknownGenius01

Ronaldinho's control is indeed better. Though Messi is by far a greater player than Ronaldinho was. And this guy is only 24. When will it stop?

[messihardstyler]

@UnknownGenius01 ....a 50 yard pass all the way up in the air, with about 4 feet away from the line and a defender on you???

[edgarsalinas11]

@UnknownGenius01 It's true, look at his last touch in this video. Kills it beautifully.

watch?v=-y4W2Obw8go

[JigglyPuffHAHA]

@UnknownGenius01 /watch?v=Tdv3pJoTTq4&feature=r­elated one touch

[tomroxelf]

@UnknownGenius01 but messi is a better player so it doesn't really matter, and this is the "play of the game"

[Ganstaz003]

@UnknownGenius01 I would say that the best control I've ever seen from a player is Thierry Henry's. I'm pretty sure you will agree with that too.

The control and volley vs West Ham, first touch vs Weiz, and plenty more. I'm sure you've seen all of them. He along with Bergkamp, have the best technique to control an aerial ball.

[tadm123]

@UnknownGenius01 dunno man I agree but I think Mesis wanted to make a directional control in this one since some dude was on his back

[1234567894675]

VISCA MESSIII N BARCA!!!
