can messi be once again infront of rooney

He is the finest footballer on the planet who sparks into life when the whistle blows, yet off the field whispers shyly from behind a heavy fringe like a self-conscious teenager.

Lionel Messi, the son of a former steel worker from a provincial Argentine town, does not model like David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, nor speak five languages like Kaka.

He socialises at home or in an unpretentious barrio bar with friends and family. He is happier playing a computer game than falling out of nightclubs. His girlfriend is a long-time family friend. He views the sort of women who usually flock around professional footballers as an unwelcome distraction from his so far stellar career.

Messi is the undoubted star among the many supreme talents in Pep Guardiola’s brilliant Barcelona side. Of that there is no doubt. With Argentina, the situation is a little different. When Guardiola was promoted from Barca’s B team coach in the summer of 2008, difficult work awaited him.

The Catalan told Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o and Deco, three of the best players in the world at the time, that they were no longer in his plans. None wanted to leave. They loved the club and the city, but Guardiola believed they loved themselves more.

Ronaldinho, the Brazilian playmaker and two-time World Player of the Year, went to Milan. Deco, the Brazilian-born Portugal international, went to Chelsea. Nobody wanted to pay Eto’o’s high wages so the Cameroon striker carried on training though his ego had been punctured by Guardiola. Determined to prove him wrong, Eto’o worked harder than ever.

Guardiola instead built his new team around Messi. True to the Johan Cruyff-inspired philosophy, Guardiola, his former student, said: “Players have to think quickly and to play with intelligence, always knowing the next pass. This is the Barcelona way. It is how we have all been taught to play and how the public expects us to play. It is attractive and effective.”can messi be shine  on a world cup as champion league.Messi or rooney will be hero is depend on them.
