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.

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.

classification of elements

Classification Of  Elements Introduction There are about 115 elements have been known to us till today. Based on their properties, all the elements are arranged in order, known as periodic table. Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, a German scientist, first attempted to arrange the elements in 1817. John Newlands, an English scientist, also attempted to arrange the then known elements (in 1866). John Newlands had followed the order of increasing atomic masses to arrange the elements. Newlands started with the element having the lowest atomic mass (such as hydrogen) and ended at thorium, which was the 56th element (at his time). Newlands’ arrangement of elements is known as “Law of Octaves,” as in his arrangement every eight element had the properties similar to that of the first. E.g. the properties of lithium and sodium were found to be the same. Sa (do) re (re) Ga (mi) Ma (fa) Pa (so) da (la) ni (ti) H Li Be B C N O F Na Mg Al Si P S Cl K Ca Cr Ti Mn Fe Co & N...
