One and only, Leo Messi

A frustrated, upset-minded, and love-filled words for the player who was the reason I have started watching football and followed it.
I have never personally seen anyone saying there you go Argentina's Messi playing, always saw n heard, there we have Messi's Argentina in the world cup qualified/won/lost. But it's always been Messi's Argentina which already makes him the image of Argentina.
You are already the king of your country when they address the country with your name, and not address you by your country's name. 
One man, who had only one reason to be criticized, World Cup. You are not the GOAT just because you didn't win the world cup. 
I just want to say this, 

This man doesn't need a world cup to be the GOAT. 
The media, the people criticized him for not winning the trophies, maybe they should know football is played by 11 members and the brain of the coach behind. For all the experts out there, where exactly does Leo needs to play, as a striker?  A left wing? A Midfield? Or, finally as a defender? Where exactly does he need to play to make sure the ball goes into the net. 
No doubt, Argentina has the team with a plenty of talent but what's the use when you can't utilize it to what's needed and when's needed. 
Just out of curiosity to the extent of the football I have watched till now, one thing I have been thinking really hard since the four loses of finals for Argentina, why does every player think he can dribble past one or two players? Is it really necessary to show case your dribbling skills when theres just a goalkeeper behind and an attacker is on you? Is it the game plan or does everyone think they are no less than Messi. 
Just one question after watching the match between Argentina and France, is that really how you pass the ball and receive the ball, is that the tempo with which you need to pass? This Argentina team never really had any chance of going forward, the way they played is not what a finalist plays. Give the ball to Messi when two or three defenders are surrounding him and expect him to dribble past them and score, the only motto Argentina has.
