Although Messi is not very familiar with Lyon, the coaching staff of Lyon is still quite familiar with it. After all, Messi is young, but he is already a famous talented player in the Eredivisie. Although he is not the main player of PSV,
But the effect is not low. Therefore, Lyon's coaching staff has already learned about Messi and his characteristics. Therefore, when Messi comes on the court, members of the coaching staff also give some new arrangements to the players.
"Messi, who will be 18 years old soon, became famous at the 2003 World Junior Championship in Finland. In that World Junior Championship, Messi won the World Junior Championship Golden Boot Award. After returning from the World Junior Championship,
Messi is starting to become an important rotation player under coach Hiddink."
Messi originally came on the field to replace Afellay, but after he came on the field, Messi was not fixed on the right. Messi did not actively participate in defense like Afellay. Instead, he ran around like a free man in the frontcourt.
It was Van Bommel who retreated slightly to help Messi defend the right wing. Lyon did not expect this change at all. Lyon's coaching staff did not expect it, and neither did Lyon's players.
"The game has reached the 74th minute, and the score is still 0-1 behind PSV in the away game. Cocu, Cocu handed the ball to Messi in the middle."
Messi didn't participate much in defense on the right, and Van Bommel could only help him fill in. This time Messi ran to the center again. Lyon's center is not simple. Especially Essien is not a simple person. Afey
Rai is also a very good offensive player in the Eredivisie, especially his speed, technique, and breakthrough are all top-notch. However, he was completely restricted against Essien in this game.
Messi's small body is certainly no match against Essien. Once Essien gets entangled, Essien will be able to knock Messi away with his body. Afellay was destroyed by Essien's method.
There are very few midfielders in European football who can stand up to Essien's close defense without falling behind. Messi's body is definitely not in the league to fight against Essien.
But Messi and Afellay have different characteristics. Messi has explosive power and short-distance speed. When Essien intercepted, he did not break through to the center, but turned to the left.
"Messi's choice was unwise. Wiltord has already retreated to defend, and Revier and Cacapa have already taken their positions."
When Messi broke through to the left, Wiltord was the first to retreat to defend. Lyon's right back Revier and center back Cacapa were all ready to directly destroy Messi. Essien followed closely behind Messi.
The West and three sides were surrounded by Lyon players, leaving no room for Messi at all.
"Messi, Messi's breakthrough is so wonderful."
From a viewing point of view, Messi's passing is not as good as Ronaldinho's. Ronaldinho's passing is really an art, which makes people dazzled and amazed. But Messi's passing is more
It relies on changing speed and direction while running, but because his speed and frequency are too fast, the defensive players cannot react.
This time Messi is no exception. Lyon has already surrounded Messi. But Messi just completed the breakthrough in a small space. And there are no other actions when breaking through, just one dunk with the left foot, one dunk with the right foot, simple
The change of direction is extraordinary. But the frequency is too fast and it is invincible in a small space.
First, he smashed the ball with his left foot, passing Wiltord. Then he smashed the ball with his right foot, passing Essien, who was about to come up. These two simple actions are what Messi uses most. Such a small space is not suitable for Messi.
The performance is more advantageous, because several Lyon players just want to reduce the space. If it is a one-on-one defense, Essien would have used both hands and feet. But this time, the space is almost compressed, so Essien does not want to be in this
The position was given to PSV for a free kick. But even with such a small hesitation, Messi had already broken through the two of them in two moves.
Messi's two attempts to break through Wiltord and Essien were too sudden, so Kakapa could only come up to defend. Kakapa hoped that a few people would directly compress the space. Messi, even if you can pass people again, can you still pass through?
He broke through where there was no gap. So Kakapa came up and blocked the gap where Messi broke through.
"Messi, Essien pulled Messi from behind... This is a foul."
Essien was a hindsight and only reacted after Messi broke through, so he stepped forward and pulled Messi. This made Kakapa in front dissatisfied. He had already blocked the gap for Messi to break through. You
Why are you pulling him? Isn't this a free kick? Messi was breaking through at high speed, and of course he fell to the ground when he was pulled. But Messi poked the ball before falling to the ground.
"No, Messi passed the ball before he fell to the ground... Park Ji-sung, Park Ji-sung came to the space left by Cacapa."
When Messi fell to the ground, he saw Cakapa stopped. With a small space, he poked the ball out. Park Ji-sung said that his ability to control the ball was average and his skills were average. From an offensive player's perspective, Park Ji-sung's excellence was average.
, his shooting is average, and his passing is not great. If he relied solely on his physical strength, he would never be able to let top coaches like Hiddink and Ferguson reuse Park Ji-sung like that.
There are three outstanding things about this guy. Both Ferguson and Hiddink like him very much. The first is that Park Ji-sung has very good physical strength, and being called "Three Lungs Park" is the biggest proof. The other is his tactical ability and Park Ji-sung's tactical execution.
He was so capable that Pirlo wrote in his memoirs that Park Ji-sung was "Ferguson's dog", saying that he was very good at executing Ferguson's tactics.
In addition to these two, Park Ji-sung's greatest ability is the ability to find space. Many people are born with this ability, such as players like Lampard and Inzaghi. Park Ji-sung's running without the ball
He is very good at movement, which is why many coaches like him.
This time was no exception. The moment Cacapa came up to defend Messi, Park Ji-sung ran from the left to Cacapa's original position, which was completely an open space with no one to defend it. Lyon's defensive line had not yet completely blocked it.
When Kakapa was in the position, Park Ji-sung came here and happened to catch the ball from Messi.
"Park Ji-sung, no one is guarding him. Park Ji-sung, pass... Huntelaar, shoot!"
Park Ji-sung's passing is not very good. But Park Ji-sung is a professional player after all. A simple pass when no one is guarding him is still passable. This time is no exception. After getting the ball, he didn't think about shooting, but passed it across.
"Huntelaar, Huntelaar. PSV equalized the score, which is not good news for Lyon. After all, this is Lyon's home court. If someone equalizes the score at home, it will be difficult in the next round."
"Although the goal was scored by Huntelaar and assisted by Park Ji-sung, the teenager Messi's contribution is the greatest. Messi was surrounded by several players and passed the best ball. Messi is known as
The best talent in Eindhoven, indeed."
Although Messi did not score a goal, a series of beautiful passes and passes still attracted everyone's attention. Messi immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Frank, what do I say? Leo is a top genius born to turn the tide."
Seeing Messi's outstanding performance, List couldn't help but show off to Arnesen next to him. Arnesen looked at Messi and nodded. When he talked about Messi with Lister in PSV, although Lister was confident
Full of success, but Arneson is still skeptical. After all, if a genius wants to succeed, there are more than one or two factors involved.
But looking at Messi, who is about to turn 18, Arnesen is indeed amazing. He is indeed a genius. No wonder Riester has been boasting that Messi has the qualifications to be the best player since a few years ago.
"Lister, just let Messi come to Tottenham."
Arnesen admired Messi's breakthroughs just now. Messi's breakthroughs would definitely be very useful when faced with a silly big guy like the Premier League. But Riester shook his head and said with a smile: "Frank, Riester
Ou is the superstar I can bargain with in the future with the top clubs in European football. Although we have a good relationship with each other, Tottenham's level is still too low."
Arnesen sighed. From the first time when List proudly introduced Messi, Arnesen knew that List attached great importance to Messi. Messi is the trump card in List's hand in the future, and he will definitely not go to the heat.
For a quasi-rich club like San Antonio, the personal relationship between List and Arneson is very good, but this personal relationship is not good enough for List to give up Messi.
At this moment, Arnesen felt a little angry. He was not angry with List, but felt that Tottenham's level was too low. Arnesen gradually felt that Tottenham was not worthy of him.
"Frank, I'm sorry. In fact, you can choose the others at will, but Leo is different."
Lister was afraid that Arneson would be angry. After all, Lister and Arneson had worked together for many years, and they not only had a personal relationship, but also had other interests. Lister did not want to be separated from Arneson, and the two of them had to work together to earn money.
A lot of money.
"I understand what you mean. Tottenham are not worthy of a top talent like Messi."
"It's not just for this reason. I will never let Leo go to the Premier League. His small body may be injured in the Premier League. In the future, I will use him to compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona and other La Liga giants."
"kindness."
The game below is not over. At this time, his true colors began to show, and Ben Arfa was amazing at first. But now Ben Arfa is impatient, and then he becomes more and more independent. He just knows how to dribble the ball past others, and then shoot himself. Lyon is a little impatient, but on the contrary
PSV equalized the score in the away game, so they became more and more comfortable as they played.
"Cocu, pass the ball...Messi, Messi is offside. Messi is offside from the middle of Abidal and Chris. Messi, shoot!"
