11、are him to the legends that came before him. In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Mullers previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals. All statistics indicate that Messi is c

12、urrently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do. We dont know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he recor

13、ds more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons. Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelonas victorious Champions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the

14、greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times. Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage.

15、 Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messis performances for his country have been severely disappointing. While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment t

16、hat characterized Argentinas performance in 2010. But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messis breakout performance in blue and white stripes. Due to all of his

17、accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies. 21.

25、ly at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen.
