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.
“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.
It would be recalled that FIFA released the top three nominees for the FIFA Ballon D’Or, Puskas award and coach of the year nominees.
The names of the nominees in the men and women categories were released via a statement by the football governing body.
The nominees for the FIFA Ballon d’Or are: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/Real Madrid), Lionel Messi (Argentina/FC Barcelona) and Neymar (Brazil/FC Barcelona).
Meanwhile, Carli Lloyd (USA/Houston Dash), Aya Miyama (Japan/Okayama Yunogo Belle), and Célia Šašić (Germany/1. FFC Frankfurt) are nominated for the women’s award.
