"This Was a Very Good Year", Messi says

BUENOS AIRES - Argentinean striker Lionel Messi said that with the exception of the Argentinean result in the World Cup, 2010 was a very good year for him.

Messi traveled to his homeland for Christmas and showed himself indiffernet about beign ignored in the delivery of the Olimpia Award (a sport award in Argentina, given every year by the Argentine Sports Journalistsâ�Ö Circle since 1954) for the second year in a row.

Regarding the Golden Ball, Messi said that will be difficult to earn it taking into account the performance this year of his teammates in Barcelona FC, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, although he also said he is not worried about it.

�The Flea", as Messi is also known, admitted that in 2010 World Cup he was not in really good shape because he felt the effort throughout the year because there were many matches and little rest. He also said he expected to get a better position in the World Cup, but things did not turn out as he expected.

Messi said that one of his main goals next year is to win 2011 America Cup to be held in Argentina.

The Argentinean Nacional team does not win an internacional title since the America Cup in Ecuador 1993.

Messi will remain in Argentina until next year because Barcelona teamâ�Ös coach Guardiola granted him vacations.
