Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has backed Lionel
Messi to win this year’s Balon D’or, saying the
Argentine is touched by God.
According to him, Messi is just a ‘different’ player and is
so blessed that whenever he has the ball, he can do just
anything with it.
Arsene Wenger:
“Messi is touched by God when he has the ball at his feet.
He has a supersonic level of training.”
The 66-year-old tactician who has been Arsenal
manager since 1996 disclosed that for him, Messi is the
best and should win this year’s world footballer of the
year award.
“No doubt (he will win) this year, as he has won
everything,” he said. “For me, he is the best,” he said.
