Messi`s role in his teams gradually increased, he became more important - not only because he is the best on the field, but also because of his weight in the team.
His word weighs much more than the word of any other person. Messi always says the right things. When he speaks, everyone listens to him. It truly conveys something special. When his speech ends, other words are no longer needed. There are situations in which it is better not to say anything.
