Messi wouldn't have been as successful if he were born 15 years later, right??

If Messi were in his mid-20s right now,
would big clubs actually use him? lol
Fast transitions between offense and defense, wide coverage, positioning for pressing and team play—
these are the current trends...
Just like how contact hitters in baseball are rated much lower than before,
you have to be born at the right time to fit the tactics and trends to truly shine lol
