ok close ball control is good when you play with guys like iniesta and xavi with low hanging balls around the area, but he comes to serie A and teh balls are not as smooth and he has to do a lot more work
i know everything is easy with iniesta and xavi , but i am talking about individual skill and messis is undeniable
he has one of the best close ball control
a great deal of fantasy
great speed
and fantastic tecnique
and he has a terrific dribble in tight spaces
messi would be very good for serie a
the ones i see hardly adapting are players tactically stupid , like krasic , or players that need a lot of space to show their potential , like krasic
messi is not in these categories
