The memory of a player has to die before the crown gets passed on. It's a shame really but a truth that really grows on you with age. It's frightening how quickly people move on.
@@Fredding-The-Needle Look at the way Haaland was overhyped, for example. Pple were so angry he didn't get the Ballon d'or, Messi did. How is he doing now? He was a one-season wonder. Then there's Mbappe who was pushed to be the best player in the world (when Messi is still playing). How did he do in the current euros? Now it's Yamal, who's quite fantastic, who's touted to be the next Messi. There is not next Messi. It's impossible as this video rightly says. Good video. There are so many more. Ansu Fati, for example. Leave the kids alone. Let them develop in their own way. The clubs and coaches should support them more, not push them down.
Lamine Yamal is being himself and I see a bright future ahead of him. Just straightforward old school traditional winger play, dribble past the fullback and cross, 20 times a game, done to perfection.

Bojan revealed that a few seasons after breaking in the Barcelona first team he started suffering immense panic attacks, and was battling mental health issues due to the pressure put into him. The comparisons with Messi grew stronger as he was having good games and quickly they started affecting his performances. At Barcelona the moment a player performs well comparison comes with the territory: next Messi , next Piqué next Xavi next whoever. Deulofeu later on said the same. I grew up watching everyone labeling Giovanni dos Santos as the next Ronaldinho. Honestly it's a petty. Monaco people tried the same with Mbappe, the next Henry. Henry himself had to say Mbappe must become the next Mbappe. Be his own man. Media and clubs are looking for stories to tell so they build unrealistic narrative. Messi for a while was the next Maradona and had to outgrow it by becoming the player we met.
For me the title of 'The Next Messi' is misleading because it's come to mean 'the next best player in the world, or best player for Barcelona' but I think most people want the next MESSI. The only player to play during Messi's career that is genuinely comparable to him in style of play is Eden Hazard. That's it... That's a tragedy. And whilst Hazard at his best can dribble and score like Messi, he lacks Messi's greatest and, for me, most beautiful skill, his passing. Messi scores like the best forward, passes and sees the pitch like the best midfielder, dribbles like the best winger and in his prime even ran like one too! THAT is what people really want when they talk about the 'Next Messi.' And for me, sadly, I just don't think that is possible. I mean let's say by some miracle someone comes along with the requisite natural talent to rival Messi. As the video points out Messi was trained from youth, played regularly in his favourite position, got scouted to the best training facility in the world La Masia. Was part of a generation of young players that has been argued to be the best ever and who understand each other on the pitch almost intrinsically because they were taught to play the same style and played together for so long. Messi had Ronaldinho, the most talented player in the world at the time, recognise his talent even as young teenager in the youth side and make a deliberate effort to spend time with him, draw him out of his introverted psyche and tell him that one day he will be the best player in the world. Then get called up to the Barca main team which was a top 5 side in the world and have his role model Ronaldinho continue to look after him on and off the pitch even assisting his first goal ffs and play regularly. Then the next manager to come in, Guardiola, happened to be a La Masia graduate himself and was uniquely positioned to understand the benefits of that, and seeing the incredible crop of youngsters coming through from the academy he implement a revolutionary Tiki-Taka style of play that perfectly emphasised the strengths and limited the weaknesses of the core Barca players natural skills with 22 year old Messi as the centrepiece of the side, playing as a false 9. Which ended up being so successful that they're widely considered to be the best team in the history of the sport with which Messi won 4 straight Ballon d'Ors, more than any other player in history at that time whilst setting winning, scoring and trophy winning records in the process... So again, let's say someone comes along with the requisite skill to rival Messi. The chances of them ALSO having as fortunate a career as Messi is basically 0.0000000000001. You'll almost certainly never see that confluence of events and individuals ever again. Messi wasn't just the most talented, he was also the luckiest.
Yeah, it's a shame really, but I get your point, everything fell into place for Messi. To be fair, I think you're right about hazard, he was the closest thing to Messi, and he wasn't even from la masia
To be the next Messi you need to play godly at a young teenage age and maintain consistently that level for almost 20 years, which is I think an IMPOSSIBLE task to do 😂
Exactly it takes 20 years to become the next messi and consistency at the top of people. People keep throwing " the next mess" to whoever has a nice left foot

Messi is the product of a different era, he didn't have iPad, he played football since day 1 in an environment worshipping football. He then moved to the greatest football academy were a revolution started to appear lead by Ronaldinho. He gradually started playing with legends and then the greatest coach of all time dedicated everything to make Messi shone and polisj his immense raw talent. In order to make all of these conditions happen all together again!! is a near impossible chance, so I doubt we will see anyone ever near Messi in terms of talent, effect on the game and achievements.
Messi had to deal with being called the next Maradona since a very young age and I think time has proven he lived up to the name. If you're good enough you'll get there but none of those players are anywhere near Messi's level
The problem is the fact they are looking for the next Messi instead of invidual great talents. There will never be another Messi. Its a stupid expectation and comparison when they should just create players who build their own paths than just being "The Next Messi".

Amazing video, so comprehensive, I love the Video Essay format and Football is suited to it since everything within it exists in multiple contexts. Oh I subbed and liked, I'm your 150th sub. It'd be cool if you can make more videos on football subjects. Dele Alli would be an interesting one, plus other 'burnouts' as it were. Or players hampered by injury, R9 in particular is such an interesting example as in general this newer generation of fans who didn't see him play doesn't really understand why a lot of people believe R9, without the injuries, was a potential GOAT.
I appreciate the support mate. I've got two more videos planned out, one of them being a video essay, and then I'll try to do another football video. The problem with these videos, is that all the content is so heavily copyright protected, that it limits what I can visually show you. I had to edit out alot of the clips since they were protected by the Premier league. But I'll try my best, and once again, thank you for the kind words
There is a difference between “Dutch Total Football” and “Spanish Tiki Taka” The difference being that the former has every player being able to play in any given position as the situation demands; and the latter, which is letting the ball do all the work instead of the player by keeping possession of the ball with short passes rather than skillful dribbling.
Actually there was never such thing as a Tiki Taka in Barcelona. Guardiola himself hated the word, because it misrepresents their philosophy by far. Guardiola's Barcelona didn't play to keep the possession with short passes. Instead, it was a system with emphasis on positional play and attracting pressure to exploit spacing.
I think i can give you more info on Giovanni dos Santos, he started playing for a football club his dad was manager (Sao Pablo or Santos if i remember correctly) in San Nicolas de los Garza amateur league (Nuevo Leon, Mexico) at that time that was the biggest amateur league in Mexico (around 96-99). At that time i used to play for Fuerzas Basicas Monterrey F.C for the 87 cat and the finals where all in the same field for all of the cat, so much part of our team stay after our match to watch other kids finals, there he was not only playing the 89 cat finals but also making it seem so easy and relaxed he scored like 7 goals and was sub at the second half so his brother Jona dos Santos could play (Jona was younger but played with the 89 cat) he also scored like 3 or 4 goals but was nothing like Gio could do. When the awards of the league took place i was awarded for best striker in 87cat with 21 goals i was so fk happy, then when came time for the 89cat awards i was just in shock, Gio took the striker award with 127 goals (a record that is still unbeated in the league). That week Monterrey F.C. offered his Dad to bring Gio and Jona to train in Basicas so they where training with the 89 cat and some times with 88 and 87. The dos Santos just stayed like 6 or 8 months training there and then they moved to Barcelona. For the time i saw him training and playing i could see that he played just to get his father proud, he didnt stayed after training to chill with the other players or just play more football in fact Jona was the one that was more open and played more after the training have ended, i think it wasnt the passion he was looking for, it just happens that he was a natural really good player.
That's really interesting mate. It's clear to see how much he could give, but that's really impressive, doing that much at that age. No wonder Barca picked him up so quickly. Thanks for sharing this, it given me a further insight into the bloke.
I always liked Bojan and Deulofeu. Bojan was too striker oriented tho, he didn't have a similar adaptability nor act as a playmaker. Deulofeu seemed like a complete forward and was great at adapting. He was definitely the closest to what they wanted in "The next Messi". The issue, is the club never cared enough to actually build either of them. Bojan and Deulofeu proved they could reach the heights, were consistent and impactful, yet never had the support that should have been given. Bojan was suppressed and disregarded for new talent, Deulofeu always brought back, but never allowed to grow. At the end of the day, bad coaching and general mismanagement kill careers and ruin potential
As much as I have been a fan of Barcelona and a huge fan of Messi, I agree with your assessment of Barcelona it's been a problem I have noticed since Pep left, I see him recently and it's truly so different a change in the man he's more secure and he has the backing of the organization and fans, which he didn't have from Sandro Rosell who wanted him out mainly because he was a disciple of Johan Cruyff and total football, Pep never received the support or recognition he deserved, and it affected him and his relationships, and it seems that is the way the Barcelona Board handled its young players, Bojan was such a talent and the way the catalan newspapers either knowingly or not uses their words to critical effect on the young players who do seem to want every young player to eventually turn out the same as Messi is appalling, I think that they are feeding off the way past players say that barca is the hardest and most difficult club to either play for or coach, it seems like they are out to prove it, their way of handling contracts and loans of the young players as difficult as possible, now it's almost impossible to have the drive and patience of young leo, but their needs to be something done for these kids, they have to become a little more determined but the club has got to find a way out of the past, times are different kids are different so the club has to adjust, or they will lose those diamonds in the rough, like Yamal and the others, I believe the quicker they get rid of Laporte and his constant talking of big things happening that never come or it's just to late, first the papers should stop the next Messi theme, and find away out of the financial black hole that they find themselves, can't believe that Bartholomew or however it is spelled got off without more punishment or they are just as careless, idk, but for everyone involved something has to happen, good portrayal,
I don’t think a lot of people remember just how much pressure there is to fill the boots of players like Pele, Maradona, Messi and Cristiano. 1 goal per match, you aren’t allowed to be injured, you can’t be tired, you can’t be sad, you can’t live outside of the pitch. You aren’t allowed to quit. I really do feel bad for those players. It’s an unrealistic request.
People are already writing off Ansu Fati. Chill out fellas, he's still only 21. He still got plenty of time to prove himself. Ousmane Dembele is still considered a superstar with that inconsistent output per season, how is he not considered a failure already?
Players performing so good in youth football that they have huge pressure to perform before their first game is a problem. Take Moukoko, if only nobody knew about his goalscoring record in the youth leagues. I think that there should be a law where youth football stats are automatically blocked on the internet or something, and the players names are filtered out from their devices so they can’t check what people are saying about them until they’re old enough
The only "next messi" or "(insert country name) messi" , to become a legitimate world class player and one of the greatest players of his generation and a legend, thus far, is "The egyptian messi" Salah and he still didnt come close to messis level.
@Fredding-The-Needle I didn't say he matched messi. I'm just saying out of all the people that were dubbed the next messi the only one that didn't become a victim of the "next messi" curse and become a flop is Salah.
i didn't mention them buying him, an investment can be time, not just money. Pedro was a big investment into an academy player, as they had to risk giving him time on the hopes that he would come good, which was the same with bojan. investments doesnt automatically mean spending. sorry if it came aross a bit confusing♥️
It's not possible to "become" Messi. I think young players should set a more realistic goal for themselves, because comparing themselves with Messi is self-destructive at best.
Its not the curse, its just that no player could match his career, people dont understand that a player like Messi doesnt happen that often, and it will take many more years until we get player like him again, and the way the modern football is going, its actually "if" we get again, because players these days sacrifice their career for money. Just look at how many years it took since Maradona, for Messi to happen, and in between them, there were many players labeled as "Next Maradona" and none of them matched him. So there is no "next Messi, Maradona, Cruyff..........etc.", there is just one, eventually two amazing talents that happen once in a while that blow us away and that`s it.
For those who claim that lack of discipline or psychological issues were the main factors in the decline of these players:I will say that even if those aspects were solved,neither of them would have escaped the B/C class category.
There will be next pele,next Maradona,next Ronaldo....but there'll never be next Messi....he is one in a life time talent...so cherish while u can experience.. .
I believe we won't see another Messi for another 10 years at least all these young guys have very little playing in the legue so it's hard to even compare them rn
We had Pele, Maradona, Zidane, OG Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo CR7, Messi and other players in different era. We will never have next Pele, Maradona, Messi or Ronaldo. We will have somebody else different. We are fortunate to have Messi-Ronaldo era for over 15 years now. Hopefully, new era begins soon Mbappe-Yamal era.
Glava je u ovom slučaju definitivno Dragan Džajić koji je uz ostale članove FSS uopšte i dozvolio ostanak Piksija ali šta je tu je. Nadajmo se boljem a gore ne može.
The thing is there was search for the next Maradona long ago until we get Messi, the fans try to paint him as the next Maradona even call him failed Maradona until 2020 but then Argentina achieve 3 international trophy for only short time and now no one dare to call him next Maradona anymore instead they searching for the next Messi
People speak of next this or that when the person in question is no longer active.. but in Messi's case we see something different. How can they live up to such expectations. The pressure will kill them

That's really interesting mate. It's clear to see how much he could give, but that's really impressive, doing that much at that age. No wonder Barca picked him up so quickly. Thanks for sharing this, it given me a further insight into the bloke.
Commend the effort you put into this video mate. Hope you hit 1000 subs soon.
thanks bro, hopefully soon 👍
I always liked Bojan and Deulofeu. Bojan was too striker oriented tho, he didn't have a similar adaptability nor act as a playmaker. Deulofeu seemed like a complete forward and was great at adapting. He was definitely the closest to what they wanted in "The next Messi". The issue, is the club never cared enough to actually build either of them. Bojan and Deulofeu proved they could reach the heights, were consistent and impactful, yet never had the support that should have been given. Bojan was suppressed and disregarded for new talent, Deulofeu always brought back, but never allowed to grow. At the end of the day, bad coaching and general mismanagement kill careers and ruin potential
Yeah, it's always devastating to see talent get wasted away by managers.
Yamal is handling it quite well
Yeah, he's been killing it for spain at the euros.
Let’s just see if he keeps it up and lives up to the expectation
Not perhaps. . Messi is the most famous athlete in the world
As much as I have been a fan of Barcelona and a huge fan of Messi, I agree with your assessment of Barcelona it's been a problem I have noticed since Pep left, I see him recently and it's truly so different a change in the man he's more secure and he has the backing of the organization and fans, which he didn't have from Sandro Rosell who wanted him out mainly because he was a disciple of Johan Cruyff and total football, Pep never received the support or recognition he deserved, and it affected him and his relationships, and it seems that is the way the Barcelona Board handled its young players, Bojan was such a talent and the way the catalan newspapers either knowingly or not uses their words to critical effect on the young players who do seem to want every young player to eventually turn out the same as Messi is appalling, I think that they are feeding off the way past players say that barca is the hardest and most difficult club to either play for or coach, it seems like they are out to prove it, their way of handling contracts and loans of the young players as difficult as possible, now it's almost impossible to have the drive and patience of young leo, but their needs to be something done for these kids, they have to become a little more determined but the club has got to find a way out of the past, times are different kids are different so the club has to adjust, or they will lose those diamonds in the rough, like Yamal and the others, I believe the quicker they get rid of Laporte and his constant talking of big things happening that never come or it's just to late, first the papers should stop the next Messi theme, and find away out of the financial black hole that they find themselves, can't believe that Bartholomew or however it is spelled got off without more punishment or they are just as careless, idk, but for everyone involved something has to happen, good portrayal,
This video is great, I can definitely see you getting big in the future
Thanks for the encouragement mate ♥️
What a well made video. I learnt heaps
thank you my friend, i appreciate the support
I don’t think a lot of people remember just how much pressure there is to fill the boots of players like Pele, Maradona, Messi and Cristiano. 1 goal per match, you aren’t allowed to be injured, you can’t be tired, you can’t be sad, you can’t live outside of the pitch. You aren’t allowed to quit. I really do feel bad for those players. It’s an unrealistic request.
it's freakish...
well after the Euros, Lamine has by far the best chance. But the pressure will be higher than ever before
People are already writing off Ansu Fati. Chill out fellas, he's still only 21. He still got plenty of time to prove himself.
Ousmane Dembele is still considered a superstar with that inconsistent output per season, how is he not considered a failure already?
exactly, he has still got time.
Gio Dos Santos hurt to see his downfall being my favorite player in the early 2010's.
Players performing so good in youth football that they have huge pressure to perform before their first game is a problem. Take Moukoko, if only nobody knew about his goalscoring record in the youth leagues. I think that there should be a law where youth football stats are automatically blocked on the internet or something, and the players names are filtered out from their devices so they can’t check what people are saying about them until they’re old enough
That's a great idea.
damn no ansu? surely he deserved a spot on here, they gave him the #10
This is seriously wonderful. Thanks for the video
The only "next messi" or "(insert country name) messi" , to become a legitimate world class player and one of the greatest players of his generation and a legend, thus far, is "The egyptian messi" Salah and he still didnt come close to messis level.
Messi is simply too good to match.
@Fredding-The-Needle I didn't say he matched messi. I'm just saying out of all the people that were dubbed the next messi the only one that didn't become a victim of the "next messi" curse and become a flop is Salah.
No problem bro, you make a really good point there, he has bested the curse and opened a path for other north african footballers to follow.
The next Messi killed Bojan, Killed Allilovic, Killed Ansu....let it not Kill Yamal
I hope for footballs sake, that he doesn't succumb to the pressure.
The Pokémon music in the back 😂🔥
Masterful ain't it 😂.
This video is so well made how do you only have 130 subs
Thanks brother, I try my best.
I hated fati being called the next Messi I just thought he was really good and can be brace next star if they didn't play him until injury
bojan's story is one the most heartbreaking ones, the guy was just too good and we didn't get to enjoy him
In Mexico, Gio was regarded as the next Ronaldinho, no the next Messi. Either way, neither comparisons worked out for him 😅
You deserve more subs bro ur vids are amazing keep it up
Thank you, your words mean a lot. New video will be out soon.
6:58 is diabolical 🤣
@@sandile217 🤣
man city caught up to la masia 😭🙏🙏
Pedro wasn’t an
“investment in forwards”
He came through the academy
i didn't mention them buying him, an investment can be time, not just money. Pedro was a big investment into an academy player, as they had to risk giving him time on the hopes that he would come good, which was the same with bojan. investments doesnt automatically mean spending. sorry if it came aross a bit confusing♥️
It's not possible to "become" Messi. I think young players should set a more realistic goal for themselves, because comparing themselves with Messi is self-destructive at best.
Soon to be big guy on youtube. I hope !
Its not the curse, its just that no player could match his career, people dont understand that a player like Messi doesnt happen that often, and it will take many more years until we get player like him again, and the way the modern football is going, its actually "if" we get again, because players these days sacrifice their career for money.
Just look at how many years it took since Maradona, for Messi to happen, and in between them, there were many players labeled as "Next Maradona" and none of them matched him.
So there is no "next Messi, Maradona, Cruyff..........etc.", there is just one, eventually two amazing talents that happen once in a while that blow us away and that`s it.
couldve sworn ppl compared gio dos santos to ronaldinho not messi
Yeah, he was compared to Ronaldinho too. But he was also compared to messi.
Well yamal seems to be the next Messi since euro victory also breaking pele record of youngest player to win a international trophy
Wish Delafeou stayed at Everton & Dos Santos was sensational for Tottenham whoever never let him play is a fool
Anyone else noticed the Mexican music when pep was mentioned? Lol nice.
only the best music my friend
Great video.....
High quality Content.....
Thank you, Mr Putin
I think Bojan remains as one of biggest what if in football
Wow that was great btw,new sub here 👍
I appreciate the kind words my friend, new video will be out within two weeks.
Super Mario Galaxy music on the background? Ok
it's a me
Alan hallovic , alex collado . You forgot some
Yea both are great Alen Halilovic is having a renaissance,
people always want the next someone instead of a unique someone else
yeah that's for sure. There is a lot of vanity in football.
You are telling us as if a guy like messi is produced, buddy, messi is gifted, and we don't know when we'll get to see another messi.
For those who claim that lack of discipline or psychological issues were the main factors in the decline of these players:I will say that even if those aspects were solved,neither of them would have escaped the B/C class category.
There will be next pele,next Maradona,next Ronaldo....but there'll never be next Messi....he is one in a life time talent...so cherish while u can experience..
.
loved the music choice.
Why are you so underrated
thanks bro, it means a lot ♥️
Top quality video right here
Thanks for the support mate
keep up the good work
Appreciate the kinds words mate
How can Iago Aspas be played over him?!!! Oh my days
I believe we won't see another Messi for another 10 years at least all these young guys have very little playing in the legue so it's hard to even compare them rn
great vid man
Thanks for the nice words pal
They destroyed Delafeou, 100%
He was some player. I always used him in my ultimate team.
@@Fredding-The-Needle he was phenomenal in wasn’t he?
@@reubenhugo6450 An absolute baller, no wonder he got compared to Messi.
197 subscribers for this kind of quality video?😢
Thanks for the kind words mate, I'll keep them coming
This video was brilliant please make more
The next video will be in this style. Thanks for the support mate.
There will be no next Messi, but there will be great players to come.
I'm very much enjoying Lamine Yamal at the moment, he's doing wonders at the Euros...
Bojan maybe didn't become the next Messi but he did leave winning every trophy with Barcelona
As a Madridista,i am praying that this curse destroyes lamine yamal career
if you love football, you wouldnt wish the curse on anyone.
11:54 Bojan is messi's 4th cousin from what i heard(please tell me if im wrong or not)
I'm pretty sure that is correct, given their lineage.
He was at Villarreal for like 10 years….
Your so underrated 🙏🙏
Thanks for the support mate
I was swearing you were an Arsenal fan before the Dos Santos segment
haha, close with a north london team, but I've got the curse of being a tottenham fan lol.
@@Fredding-The-Needle Dw I'm Coys too even tho I was born after the last time we won a Trophy 😂
Very well written video. Loved the production
Thanks for the kind words my friend
You missed Ansu Fati, who even picked Messi’s number 10.
We had Pele, Maradona, Zidane, OG Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo CR7, Messi and other players in different era. We will never have next Pele, Maradona, Messi or Ronaldo. We will have somebody else different. We are fortunate to have Messi-Ronaldo era for over 15 years now. Hopefully, new era begins soon Mbappe-Yamal era.
Why was the into to recostada en la cama just randomly playing
Nice job bro👍 good video.
Vamos La Masia 💪🏽💙❤
And stop that next Messi, there is no next Messi 🤷♂️
Well said bro
Glava je u ovom slučaju definitivno Dragan Džajić koji je uz ostale članove FSS uopšte i dozvolio ostanak Piksija ali šta je tu je. Nadajmo se boljem a gore ne može.
I feel like this would be the same with yamal. hes a great player but with love comes hate and 1 person that hates him makes 30 people that love him
Marca is a Spanish word, so you can call it Marca with c sounding normal, not like an s as in catalan
The thing is there was search for the next Maradona long ago until we get Messi, the fans try to paint him as the next Maradona even call him failed Maradona until 2020 but then Argentina achieve 3 international trophy for only short time and now no one dare to call him next Maradona anymore instead they searching for the next Messi
Lamine Yamal wont be the next Messi but he will be the next Yamal 💯💯💯 a prodigy in his own right.
i think the fact that we know the pressure on these youngsters now could make all the difference
It's insane, imagine what Messi's son will face if he decides to go into football
what a beautiful and legendary story
I appreciate the love friend ❤
The fact that onana is also in this video 😅😂
onana the goat 🤣🐐
@@Fredding-The-Needle lol a goat 🐐
Beautiful, well put-together video! 💯💯💯
Thanks for the kind words mate ❤
Barca dumped Messi and I consider them as the dumbest in the World !
