I always thought the same thing, but then again there are different ways to be influential.

I think it could be said he got more people into football - they wanted to learn to dribble, or score, or pass, or make plays like Messi. It doesn't mean they would do it the same way or to the same level, but it made people strive.

Also, in this day and age of football Adonisis, he shows that you can be a super start without the body of a god or oozing charisma or attitude.
