Lionel Messi (Argentina):

Lionel Messi is the player to watch out for Argentina in any given game. Messi has scored 34 goals in FIFA World Cup qualifiers, making him the highest scorer of the qualification in CONMEBOL. Messi has an almost magical ability to control the ball at high speeds, making it seem like the ball is glued to his feet. His ability to see and execute passes that others might not even consider is remarkable.

This vision allows him to create scoring opportunities out of seemingly nothing. Messi’s dribbling is characterized by his agility, speed, and the unpredictability of his movements. He can navigate through defenders with ease.
