Next Monday local time, “French Football” will announce the 2021 Mr. Golden Ball. The battle between Paris and Saint-Etienne was Messi’s last battle before the Golden Globes. Although Messi’s personal offense was not going well, he even lost an empty goal. But in terms of connecting the whole team, Messi did it perfectly. In the first 10 games in Paris, Messi has not sent out any assists. In the 11th game, Messi assists and wears a cap!
Messi’s first assist was an accurate cross in a set-piece attack. Messi’s second assist is the most representative of his personal style. At the top of the penalty area, Messi buckled the defender with his left foot and shook the defender from the front, and then bounced the ball to the right side of the penalty area with the back of his left foot. In this area, Di Maria is the only one. Messi has attracted the attention of too many defensive players, Di Maria can even easily aim for a long time to complete the shot.
At the end of the game, Messi completed his third assist. After receiving a direct pass from his teammate, Messi jumped in near the bottom line on the left. The Argentine rubbed his left foot gently, and Maquinhos received a pass from Messi for the second time. The Paris captain scored twice with a close header and also helped Messi complete an assist hat trick. In Messi’s league career, this is his third assist wearing a cap. The previous two times occurred in the Barcelona era.
How to make good use of Messi in offense? Pochettino gradually found the answer. At the beginning of the season, Pochettino fixed Messi on the right. Due to the lack of ball rights, the Argentine’s performance has been greatly affected. In recent times, Messi has appeared more and more in the middle, and his possession of the ball has also increased. In this area, Messi only needs an instant flash to destroy the opponent’s line of defense. Messi’s two offensives in this battle were not completed on the right.
But on the defensive end, Pochettino has not yet learned how to use Messi. After losing 1-2 in Paris to Manchester City, NMM was widely criticized for not being active in defense. It is obviously unrealistic to expect the 34-year-old Messi to change his style. Neymar is still active in defense, and Mbappe needs to increase his running for Messi. Look at how Lautaro played in Argentina, how Mbappé should play in Paris! This may affect Mbappé’s personal data, but it will greatly enhance Paris’s overall capabilities.Return to Sohu to see more
