How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

explain the element platinum

Chemistry - Platinum Introduction Platinum is a malleable, ductile, dense, and highly unreactive chemical element. The symbol of platinum is  ‘Pt’  and its atomic number is  ‘78.’ The name of platinum is derived from a Spanish term i.e. ‘platina,’ which means " little silver ." Platinum is the most precious and the rarest metal (element) on the earth. Salient Features of Platinum Following are the important features of the platinum − Platinum is a silver white metal. Platinum is an element of group 10 of the periodic table. Platinum is one of the rarest elements in the crust of the earth. Platinum is one of the least reactive elements. Platinum has six natural isotopes. Platinum is one of the most highly valuable and precious metals. Platinum is characteristically resists corrosion in all conditions. Because of this reason, it is considered as noble metal. Platinum is normally insoluble in nitric and hydrochloric acid, but dissolves in hot  aqua regia . After dissolv...

what is friction?

Physics - Friction Introduction Friction  is result of the irregularities on the two surfaces in contact of each other. The force of friction is dependent on the irregularities of the surface; if it is greater, then the friction will be greater and if it is smooth, then the friction will be lesser. Effectively, the friction is result of the  interlocking  of irregularities in the two surfaces. If the two surfaces (in contact) are pressed harder, then the force of friction will increase. On a frictionless surface, if an object starts moving, it would not stop ever; Without friction, it is not possible to construct a building. Friction produces heat; when a matchstick is rubbed against the rough surface, it catches fire. Substances Reducing Friction The substances that reduce friction are known as  lubricants . E.g. when oil, grease, or graphite is applied between the moving part of a machine, then it creates a thin layer; resultantly, moving surfaces do not directly r...

How can I classify living Organism

Biology - Diversity in Living Organisms Introduction Biodiversity term is used to define the diversity of life forms. Biodiversity is a word more often used to refer to the variety of life forms found in a particular geographic region. Diversity of life forms of a geographic region provides stability in the respective region. Base of Classification Greek thinker Aristotle first classified animals based on their place of residence whether they lived on land, in water, or in the air. Later, all the living organisms are identified and categorized on the basis of their body design in form and function. The idea of evolution was first described by Charles Darwin in 1859 in his book namely – The Origin of Species.’ Charles Darwin first described this idea of evolution in 1859 in his book, ‘The Origin of Species.’ Hierarchy of Classification Groups Some biologists, namely Ernst Haeckel (1894), Robert Whittaker (1959), and Carl Woese (1977) have attempted to classify all living org...
