Lionel Messi of Argentina.

Lionel Messi of Argentina by Adejola Joseph. 
A mystery on the pitch 
Little shorty conjuring the magical moment 
The ball on his foot is like a sticker on your car 
Messi is a monster 
If he takes the ball from the center field 
He dribbles five without losing his posture 
He dazzles you 
He entertains you 
The he shocks you! 
Messi creates something out of nothing 
The only hope in hopeless situation 
Never beaten until the final whistle 
Messi 
The magical Messi! 
Thanks the stars I exist in your time 
I witnessed the modern era of great and interesting football.
Messi 
The magical Messi!
