The battle between Paris and Lille was the first game after Messi became the “May Seven”. Before the game, Paris specially held a small ceremony for Messi and Donnarumma. They showed the Ballon d’Or and Yassin awards to 46,000 fans. When showing the Golden Ball, Messi said that he “hopes that all goals can be accomplished this season.” But in terms of Paris’s current strength, it is a little far behind to hit the Champions League.
In the case of Neymar’s truce due to injury, Pochettino lined up with no front. Di Maria and Mbappé appeared on the wings, while Messi played the role of a pseudo-center. But Di Maria is as irritable as always, while Mbappé does not have the ability to blast on the left side. His advantage is still the speed of the counterattack. Messi’s position is too far behind, which makes Paris lack of lethality in the opponent’s penalty area, and the whole game looks extremely dull.
Messi is a pseudo-center, why has it been retreating? This is largely due to the poor ability of the Paris midfielder to play the ball. Pereira, Gaye and Abbimbe, the three black central midfielders, do not have sufficient ability to play the ball. After Verrati came off the bench, Paris’s ability to play has been greatly improved. But at this time, there is not much time left for Paris to rewrite the score.
In terms of personal offense, Messi is mediocre because he rarely gets a decent shot. Under the frequent double-teaming of opponents, Messi made 6 shots, but only one shot on goal. On the tandem team, Messi sent 5 wonderful passes in this campaign, but his teammates have never been able to send the ball into the net. The most outrageous scene appeared in the 64th minute, Messi sent a big single for Mbappe, but the Frenchman’s push was inexplicably wide of the goal. This is the time when Paris is closest to scoring a goal, and it is also the time when Paris is closest to victory…Return to Sohu to see more
