Argentine crack considered one of the best players of all time. However, it believes that you are more protected than Pele, Cruyff or Zidane in his time. The UEFA President handed over the award to Messi the best player in Europe. The President of UEFA, Michel Platini, said in an interview with two French newspapers that Argentine striker Leo Messi Barcelona, who on Thursday was awarded the award to the best player of UEFA in Europe, is more protected by the referees than other greats of history. Each generation believes have among their ranks to the best player of all time.

The 50 years old think it is Pele. Of the 70 who is Cruyff. Of the 80 that Maradona and the 2000, that Zidane was the largest. And in these moments, is Messi, assured the newspaper Aujourd’hui en France and Le Parisien. It is impossible to compare them, indicated in statements gathered this Thursday during the vote held at the Grimaldi Forum in the Principality of Monaco, in the framework of the draw for the 2011-12 Champions League group stage. But I’d say that Messi has an advantage with respect to all those who have just quoted, he added.

It is much more protected by the referees. And okay so. You can play football and express their talent. Previously players with talent had to think first to avoid the blows. The own Platini has been the promoter of this prize who collected the Argentine, which seeks to recover the spirit that had the France Football Golden Ball before joining FIFA World Player, the recognize the best player in the European leagues, not the of the Champions League, as it was until now known as UEFA Award.
