After his man of the match performance in the UEFA Champion\u2019s League on Wednesday, we are all looking forward to Messi skills<\/strong> in\u00a0El Cl\u00e1sico<\/strong>. Where he reigns as the top scorer ever.<\/p>\n

Messi is the perfect player we can all learn from. We\u2019re going to break down Messi\u2019s five essential qualities according to the COERVER\u00ae CODE<\/a> that you can apply to your game.<\/p>\n

Messi\u2019s Approach<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. SKILLS<\/a>.<\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. Messi skills effect confidence and creativity.<\/li>\n
    2. Confidence: The Foundation of Messi\u2019s game is supreme ball mastery. Once a player masters the ball their confidence can grow. Ball Mastery, as Messi shows each week, is essential for; 1 v 1, running with the ball, as well as shooting and first touch receiving.<\/li>\n
    3. Creativity: Player\u2019s who are creative do unexpected things in a game, like Messi skills. They can make the difference at crucial deciding moments in the game. Without ball mastery, it is difficult to lead creatively.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. SPEED<\/a>.<\/strong>\n
        \n
      1. For this skill to be effective in a game, players need to \u201cmarry\u201d skill with speed. Each week Messi demonstrates this with his ability to change pace and direction with the ball.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. SENSE<\/a>.<\/strong>\n
          \n
        1. This mean\u2019s making the right decision at the right time, in the right place. This can only come from focus and concentration as well as lifelong practice. Being able to read the field intuitively as he does, also requires player\u2019s taking responsibility in the game. All of which are displayed weekly by Messi.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        2. STRENGTH<\/a>.<\/strong>\n
            \n
          1. This mean\u2019s a high level of physical fitness.<\/li>\n
          2. Which requires dedication and hard work. Messi is an example of a player consistently performing well due to his dedication to hard work in training and diet. He is one player that plays in every minute, early in every game.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          3. SPIRIT<\/strong><\/a>\n
              \n
            1. Means a winning combination of Respect, Sportsmanship and Courage. Winning & losing graciously. Always trying your best. Messi\u2019s career and behaviour is a model of these qualities.<\/li>\n
            2. No one can play like Messi, he is unique and one of a kind. But you can definitely learn from him and apply his attributes to how you approach your game.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Messi skills have been the key factor in many of Barcelona’s victories this season. Now we all can’t do perfect Messi Skills but he can certainly inspire us all to practice harder and improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
