Hard Tackle Argentina icon Jorge Valdano believes that Barcas Lionel Messi is not the player he once was, arguing that his compatriot has lost his ability to disrupt defences. Messi won the Golden Ball at this summers World Cup in Brazil, after leading his country all the way to the final, where they were beaten by an extra-time goal from Mario Gotze. However, his form and fitness have been the subject of much debate for the past 12 months, with some pundits accusing the four-time Ballon dOr winner of losing his passion for the game, and others claiming that injuries have robbed the 27-year-old of the explosive turn of pace for which he was once renowned. Valdano subscribes to the latter theory, suspecting that Messis relatively disappointing showing in Barcelonas Liga loss at Real Madrid on Sunday merely served to underline that the previously prolific attacker is struggling to come to terms with what he feels has been an enforced change of position. Question Do you agree that Lionel Messi has lost his ability to disrupt defences?
