Chapter 299 What are Messi’s weaknesses?

Having said this, Zhuo Yang roughly understood the reason why Mei's father didn't let Messi come with him. Let Zhuoyang talk about Messi's shortcomings from a professional football perspective. It would be a little embarrassing if he himself were present.

The tea was a bit weak, so Zhuo Yang called the waiter to make another pot. Turkish black tea needs to be boiled, and the tea has a very strong flavor. Sugar cubes must be added to neutralize the flavor and then slightly diluted before drinking. The style of Turkish black tea is actually not in line with Zhuo Yang's habits. It lacks the lingering fragrance that Chinese tea leaves on the tip of the tongue, and it also loses the nostalgic aftertaste.

However, after eating the barbecue, such a strong tea can indeed relieve some of the greasiness, and it complements each other perfectly.

"Uncle Mei, in fact, football is like this tea leaf. Suitability is the best. The same is true for Leo's football. The method that suits his own sports characteristics is the most important. Demanding perfection means the opposite."

"Zhuoyang, I understand what you mean. Leo has Leo's characteristics, and Cristiano Ronaldo has Cristiano Ronaldo's strengths. They are both interpreting their football in the most suitable way for them. Leo will not become Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo will never be Leo."

Here, Mei's father cannot compare Zhuo Yang, because football status and net worth are not the same, but Ronaldo can.

"That's right." Zhuo Yang nodded.

Mei's father said: "Zhuoyang, you don't have to worry, I'm just talking in general, just talk about it."

"Header." Zhuo Yang joked.

"Hahaha……"

Zhuoyang's words made Uncle Mei laugh. It's not surprising that Messi, who is 1.68 meters tall, is not good at heading the ball. Even though Messi has a very delicate feeling on the top of his head, he has also scored some good headers. , but due to height limitations, he must be naturally weak in this regard.

In fact, Zhuo Yang is well aware of Messi's shortcomings in football. He believes that Mei's father and even others are also aware of it. But since it was not a secret, why did Mei's father ask for advice so seriously? This was what puzzled Zhuo Yang.

In Zhuo Yang's view, football is by no means just football, but is closely related to the character of the person who plays the football. What kind of person you are will determine the kind of football you play. Messi's problem in football lies precisely in his character.

Messi is used to being taken care of. He lacks a bit of the so-called "gangster spirit" and can also be naughty and mischievous. This is reflected in the lack of domineering on the court. Everything on the court can only be solved by relying on his own unparalleled feet. However, things on the court are all-encompassing, what is going on on the turf is war, and what is shown is the world.

Messi's character is not weak, nor does he lack confidence at all, but he is obviously not good at dealing with people and things related to football.

In 2008, Guardiola took over as the head coach of Barcelona. Pep was very strong, and the new manager had three things to do when he took office. It is common sense that players who are more sensible will not get into trouble at the beginning.

However, the first player to quarrel with Guardiola was Messi, who no one expected and had never quarreled with the head coach.

The first time Guardiola chanted for the team, Messi sat in his seat and deliberately drank water like a cow, snoring. Guardiola said with a dark face: "When explaining techniques and tactics, I hope everyone will not drink water and listen attentively."

Messi put down the cup and walked out of the locker room, then came back in a moment later, holding a bigger cup in his hand. After sitting down, he looked like a rhinoceros dying of thirst by the river in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

Messi has no grudge against Guardiola. He did this just because he was dissatisfied with Rijkaard being fired. But what does this have to do with Guardiola?

Guardiola naturally forgave Messi for his rudeness, just as Laporta also forgave Messi for demonstrating to him in public. At that time, everyone knew that Messi was actually just a spoiled child.

There is no lack of toughness in Messi's character, but he is always tough in the wrong place, and his toughness has no effect. This kind of toughness is more like anger. The football field is the workplace, and there are thirty-six plots, but there is no need for anger.

But can Zhuo Yang say these words to Mei’s father? Messi’s character was born and raised by Mei’s father.

If you criticize Messi's character, you are slapping Hull in the face.

.

"Let's talk, Zhuo Yang." Mei's father was still begging.

"Well, if there is any shortcoming in Leo's football, it should be..." Zhuo Yang was thinking about the words. "It should be that the environment I experienced was a bit monotonous."

Dad Mei nodded: "It is true. Leo came to Barcelona when he was 13 years old. From La Masia to the first team, it has been 11 years. He has only experienced one football style of Barcelona. At this point, Leo and you are very different. Far."

"Uncle Mei, thank you. Many people say that I am a slave to money. I will run with whoever gives me more money. Hahaha..."

Dad Mei laughed twice and said, "That's their fart! They rely on their own abilities to achieve higher values. Who among all living beings is not like this, but they want to accuse you? It's just jealousy."

"Zhuo Yang, please talk specifically about the impact of Leo's single football style."

"Barcelona's football style is actually a very subtle football feeling, especially in the midfield and frontcourt. It requires everyone to have good small skills. This small skill does not mean fancy work, but... …Feeling, the frequency and rhythm of throwing and catching the ball.”

"The reason why Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt are able to play the most fluid passing and cutting in the world is that everyone has the same rhythm and frequency, including me and Leo."

"Such small skills have nothing to do with height and strength. Yaya Toure before, Ibrahimovic, and now Mascherano, they are all top-notch players in football, no better than anyone else. Poor, but he couldn't reach his level in Barcelona. Toure can only go to the back line, Mascherano also needs to do this to gain a foothold, and Ibrahimovic simply left."

"It's all because they don't have the frequency and rhythm of Barcelona style, they don't have the little skills."

Dad Mei nodded and continued to listen attentively.

"Leo is very comfortable in this style of football. He can play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. He can play in any formation. Total offense, total defense, defensive counterattack, TiKi-TaKa, etc. No problem, as long as he has teammates with the same rhythm and frequency around him, Leo will have no problem."

Now that he has spoken out, Zhuo Yang will speak more clearly.

"Uncle Mei, I don't know if Leo can still play such wonderful football without these small technical teammates around him, but judging from the difficulties Leo has encountered in the national team, it is not optimistic."

"The Argentine national team has many frontcourt talents, but none of them have the frequency and rhythm of small skills that Leo is familiar with. Therefore, Leo is very lonely in the national team."

Mei's father was shocked. No one in the world cared more about Messi than him. Herrho has been looking for the crux of the problems his son encountered in the Argentina national team. Many football authorities also gave different opinions, but today Zhuo Yang's analysis surprised Dad Mei the most.

Because he suddenly realized that Zhuo Yang pointed out the most critical factor.
