Unfair Treatment: No Player Attracts As Many Defenders As Leo Messi [photo] by Uptownerd(op): 1:37pm On Apr 24, 2022
It’s rare to see a single player being the central focus of managers and almost an entire team in a football game. But, that is the case of Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona.

Each game, managers and players alike who are facing either of FC Barcelona or Argentina deploy this tactics all the time. The tactics is to crowd out Messi, overwhelm him and make sure he doesn’t have any room to play his football.

That's Pochettino's fault

PSG already gat a machine like mbappe n also neyma dt can score goals, messi ia best suited in d midfield bcoz of his creativity n advantage of dragging players to him to free the strikers..
messi is now playing as a playmaker jus like kdb n modric n less than an attacker dt he was in barca bcoz of the age factor too...
I cnt judge him with goals in dt position bcox he isn't a top9 like cr7 in united..

not at all..a new coach may do same, except mbappe leaves n PSG sign an attacking midfielder like Pogba...messi is best suited in dt attacking midfield bcoz he needs to get ball from midfielders n create assist to strikers, unlike his time in barca dt he spent more time on d wings or attack...
his new role is why he gets more assist n more goals outside d box since 2018..
