Bravo Leo Messi, Bravo
Argentinian dribbling machine Leo Messi has been awarded the brilliantly named Bravo Trophy by Italian sports magazine Guerin Sportivo. It’s basically an Under-21 version of the more famous Ballon d’Or (which will be handed to Kaka in the very near future) but not associated in anyway. It’s somewhat belatedly awarded for performances in the previous season, and since 2006/7 was the year Messi scored that Maradona-esque goal for Barcelona against Getafe, who can argue? Interestingly, Messi is the first winner in five years that wasn’t playing in the Premiership.
I wish more awards were like this to be honest. Rather than imposing an unnecessary level of grandeur on proceedings with a heavy title like FIFA World Player of the Year, the Bravo Trophy sounds more like a pat on the back and a hearty well done for young player who’s fun to watch.
The great thing about Messi is that while he’s as entertaining to watch as 2004 Bravo Trophy winner Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s seems a whole lot more likeable. Despite his talents there’s very little arrogance to the kid, he’s always grinning and never seems to even brush his hair, never mind style it. For all these reasons the Bravo Trophy is perfect for him. To celebrate, here’s another look at his Diego like goal from last season.
why the hell does kaka deserve the award he is doing nothing close to what messi is doing now
POLITICS!

without doubt Messi has been better than Kaka and Ronaldo…just because Kaka was able to play in those high pressure C’league games and come out a winner does not mean that Messi could not have done it…Kaka was playing in Milan …and they know how to play in these kind of games….Football is a team game and last year L’pool beat Barca in that one game at Camp Nou and then put “the bus in front of the goal” at Anfield..it was Barca’s fault, not Messi’s.. and besides Messi’s quality lies in what he has been doing in Barca this year week in week out..whereas Milan and Kaka??…nowhere in SerieA!

Well and truly deserved.
Spot on about his attitude – he sure seems like a class act. I love the video where some adoring fan jumps from above the tunnel and just about lands on him, and he just laughs, hugs her, and keeps walking.
