Melawan Lionel Messi seperti Menghadapi LeBron James

  • Kapten Barcelona dan timnas Argentina, Lionel Messi, dianggap setara dengan pebasket LA Lakers LeBron James.
  • Hal itu disampaikan mantan kiper Manchester United dan Everton, Tim Howard.
  • Eks-kiper Amerika Serikat itu mengenang pertemuannya dengan Messi dalam pertandingan.

SKOR.id - Mantan kiper Manchester United, Tim Howard, menyatakan bermain melawan Lionel Messi seperti menghadapi pebasket LeBron James.

Lionel Messi adalah peraih enam Ballon d'Or sebagai pemain terbaik dunia. Sementara LeBron James adalah pebasket LA Lakers yang baru saja menjuarai kompetisi NBA musim 2020.

Tim Howard tak pernah bermain melawan LeBron James, melainkan hanya menyaksikannya dari televisi. Namun seperti juga Messi, James pun punya rekor mentereng.

Pebasket 35 tahun itu adalah pemain pertama dalam sejarah NBA yang mampu menyabet trofi pemain terbaik (MVP Finals) dengan tiga tim berbeda; Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, dan LA Lakers.

Howard pun yakin bahwa kualitas James dalam mendulang poin di lapangan basket setara dengan keahlian Lionel Messi mencetak gol di lapangan bola.

"Saya membayangkannya seperti ketika menyaksikan LeBron James," kata Howard yang kini berusia 41 tahun.

"Menyaksikan Messi di video terlihat sangat cepat dan ulet. Namun ketika bertanding melawannya, dia 10 kali lebih dari itu. Seolah mustahil," tambah Howard yang juga pernah bermain untuk Everton.

Howard pernah berpikir bahwa menahan bola tendangan Lionel Messi tidak akan sulit mengingat posturnya yang tidak setinggi standar pemain Eropa.

Namun ekspektasi Howard ternyata salah.

"Dia menembak, terlihat kecil dan mungil. Anda langsung berpikir 'Ah, gampang saja'. Namun, ketika bola tembakannya mencapai gawang, tiba-tiba Anda seperti menghadapi pemain setinggi 190 cm," katanya menjelaskan.

Howard pun pernah menghadapi Lionel Messi saat Amerika Serikat melawan Argentina dalam partai persahabatan pada 2011. Ketika itu pertandingan berakhir imbang, tapi Howard tetap tak percaya menyaksikan permainan Messi.

"Anda menonton Lionel Messi dari televisi dan merasa itu mustahil. Bagaimana dia melakukan itu, kemudian Anda melihatnya langsung. Luar biasa, walau ini terjadi di level profesional. Anda pasti tak habis pikir," Howard mengatakan kepada Wall Street Journal pada 2011.
