Messi's change of direction is the fastest of any player in my opinion

With ball Messi.
Without ball Bolt.

Just because it's an opinion doesn't form some sort of holy defense from criticism around it. An opinion can indeed be stupid or wrong, believe it or not. Well, that's my opinion anyway, and you can't say anything about that.

in a 100 meter-sprint contest, (which ofc football is not) I dont see how a small, light Walcott would outperform bigger sprinters at around 180 cm or above. I mean, when was the last time any professional sprinter was that small? You need some weight and really strong thighs to push off from. Bolt is the quickest in the world, but his high weight will make him less agile and have slower acceleration than the master that is Messi.

Abate is underrated when it comes to pace it seems. I wonder if I will see anyone out sprint him in a match, Ronaldo sure didnt. Lets see if Messi can do some damage tonight. ( I hope I dont jinx this now:D Hell, lets hope for another Pato-sprint in this one lol )

They at least measured them on a consistent basis. Better than people coming here and just throwing names out based on what they see with their naked eyes, looking quick and being quick are 2 different things

Yeah, but come on. There is like gazillion variables which you can't measure from video highlights, which themselves can have unknown framerate-conversions and whatnots.

you sir are a smart man.

El Mosky(his nickname) is definitely the fastest player. He was many times considered fastest player in all of Serie A.
