10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[dakt]

He spits like crazy. If that is nothing horrific, why can't they say what it is?

 

[King Leo]

ok if a friendly can cause Messi to be nervous and vomit what will he do if Argentina reaches the final? have a Heart Attack? come I think something else is going on and they don't know it so they just blame on anxiety.

 

[Kohe321]

You guys are completely overreacting and reading too much into this. Messi doesn't care, why should we? Calm down.

"Oh no, he gets acid reflux when he's nervous and he spits a lot, what shall we do?"

 

[Egert]

Damn....

Jesus relax. He has been doing it for a long time now, if he plays well then who cares? He's probably nervous as he fears injury.

 

[Egert]

Is Lavezzi kinda swag guy?

Oh well, Messi is drunk....

 

[linetty]

Lionel Messi has scored (28) or assisted (10) a total of 38 goals in the year 2014, more than any other player

All that standing still.

Well he has to do that or else other players will fall victim of depression with the stats he would post

Now Imagine if he ran at top speed every once in a while?

Defenders and GKs would probably giveup in protest. Kinda like having Juninho, Ronnie and Roberto Carlos standing over free kicks around the box, the GK would just give up

 

[DinhoR10]

All joking aside, Even though he's not in top form messi might actually be getting way better without us even noticing.

 

[dakt]

Damn....

Dayum! Those hips, those thighs... From now on, I prefer Antonella over skinny Shafgfdgdg...what ever is her name...

Misses the point. That's exactly what you would expect with Messi-centric tactics. There is no question that such tactics (plus Messi's brilliant talent) result in Messi scoring and assisting so much. The question is how does that affect Barça play overall? You could argue that it is mostly still effective, as Barça is still one of the top 5 teams in the world, and would have won La Liga and progressed further in the CL except for Atletico's excellent defensive performance. But you could also argue that such tactics come up short against top teams, as well as make Barça far duller to watch than when the tactics were more balanced, when Messi moved off the ball more to provide triangle options in the center (other than when the ball is brought to him, as is currently the case).

We have hardly been Messi centric under Tata. We played through Messi more under Pep in 2011 when we destroyed all top opposition ) and of course we were most Messi centric under Tito when we reached 100 points. Fair enough we came failed against Bayern but there were a lot of factors contributing to that.

 

[KingMessi]

Messi was largely excluded from the play by Tata who preferred wingplay and crosses to the center.
