Lionel Messi - v7

[HanDW]

If you want to compare Navas with someone of our team the best one is Alba because they're the same type of player.

 

[Richard.H]

lack of training, it would be enough if Barca runs like 70% of Jesus Navas

Its also a matter of self discipline. Athletes like Puyol and Xavi greatly emphasized fitness, even training on their own time. I highly doubt Messi, Suarez, and Busquets value training outside of Barca and their respective NT?s.

puyol still is a fitness buff a la lucho. xavi? where did you came up with that?

yes, suarez has fitness issues(getting fat). messi? busquets? never heard of them skipping/slacking in training or having fitness issues(club and country).

 

[Barcaman]

The guy who first broke out the news of Neymar leaving to PSG is saying that Messi demanded an immediate transfer.

Think both Barca and Messi deserve a better farewell.

Pirlo at 36 in the 2015 final against us run 12.5 km.. Thats double what messi runs.. It's not an age thing.. Don't even know what the fuck it's.. And sure as fuck it's not that stupid ass myth it's tactical

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Of course you can't compare midfield and attacker. Messis kilometres are probably more intense and he dribbles which is exhausting. He would be too exhausted to do his magic if he would run 12km a game. I assume it's tactics too.

Ronaldo is around ten kilometres.

I'm watching this Europa league semi-final and Jesus Navas who is 34 years old is running like a madman and contributing immensely in both attack and defence. There is no reason why our Barca players can't get into a high intensity for a match against Bayern.

Disgusting what has become of Barcelona.

Carboni at 39 years old was playing 90 minutes as a full back with Valencia.. Age is not an excuse for being in terrible shape, at least not before 35 or something

10 is the average, the absolute minimum demanded for attackers. .. Benzema is on 11,** even at his current age. Messi runs 7. Thats abysmal

He is at seven? Okay that's horrible. I thought he was at nine per game.

In the 2014 world cup messi ran 6.7 km at one game I remember.. Crazy numbers. Amateurs do better.
Suarez the fat fuck barely scores 9. I'm not even sure if it's 9 this season.

he ran around 7km all his career. what are you trying to prove?

That we would have won at least 1 more CL if he ran 10 km in the big games. Not all games but the CL KOs

Against Bayern in 2015, he ran 8.5 to 9 and destroyed them. Imagine that.

Another myth. With pep and with Rickard Messi had the workrate of wingers.. Tracking back and attacking and pressing and everything.. Search for a full game pre 2011 and see for yourself. Whatever happened it started from mid 2012 2013 onwards.

In 2015, in the big games, he was at 8-9 kms. It started in 13-14, and then turned worse and worse since 15-16.

He did.. The 2015 was an anomaly.. He really stepped that season workrate wise. Scoring 8.5 km in crucial games.. No wonder we won everything
