That’s how you earn respect: with Messi, it’s not something you ask for, it’s something you earn.#Football #Soccer

Look at Messi handing the captain's arm band to Eniesta as he came on. He did the same at Inter Miami after winning the title with a player who'd been in the squad longer than him. With Argentina, he did the same. He gave the arm band to Di Maria during his farewells to the national team. Messi even refused to take the arm band when he came on in the second half. But despite that, Otomendi still went to put it on his arm. Now look at him boppe. The lad was about to come on and ask Turkey to take the arm band off Conte's arm to give it to him. This bloke is a dictator. When Noir felt a muscle strain, he said he wanted to try to carry on. Then he stood up, jumped, looked at the physio, and immediately said he couldn't continue before sitting back down on the bench. Bayern had Urbig, who hadn't played a single game yet. And when he was getting ready to come on, Noir went to see him himself and told him to stay calm and do what he did in training. As soon as he stepped onto the pitch, the opposition sent the ball into the box and had their first chance, but Urbis saved it. Straight after, Frimpong struck the corner, but the keeper pulled off a massive save, stretching as far as he could. Then, another shot, he dived again and made a save identical to the one Noir had made years ago against real Madrid. Then Vitina arrived, shook off his marker, carried the ball all the way to the byline and left everyone behind him as he entered the box. He was simply brilliant.
