Messi Messi Messi.. Why Him by kocvalour(m): 9:16am On Jul 31, 2014 |
I was going through some pages and posts and found some of us were worried that Messi will never be the same and he has lost pace and motivation and that he won’t be able to recover and the list goes on……….. Seriously I never expected y’all to buy this Bullshit.Those who say that Messi has stopped pressing and that he doesn't run are not watching Barcelona for past 4 years. All those people who doubt him can go watch the 5-0 El classico and the 3-1 UCl final and other matches. Messi never used to press. Occasionally he presses most often due to the following- -If he has lost the ball and there is a danger of his team conceding due to that. -When he becomes too passionate in between the games and is annoyed at opposition having the ball. -If the match is just too important and he has been told to press a bit. Otherwise you won’t find him pressing. He never does this pressing stuff for this will mean he won’t have energy left when he will be really needed in offence.Remember Di maria assist by him against Switzerland.He ran dribbling past two to give the ball to him,where do y’all think the energy came from. Now try to recall the final,In previous six matches he almost played as a midfielder,His duty was to link attack and midfield by taking the ball from defense holding it till forwards have occupied their position and then feed it to them.He was playing like Riquelme,the traditional 10. The fact that he was forced to score more than 70% of Argentina’s goals,shows that he had the scoring responsibility too and I don’t know what people speak about but I saw him press couple of several times in the final. Messi has a lot of fast twitch fibres,those who don’t know what they are-They are responsible for your speed.If you have more fast twitch fibres then you will be fast with good acceleration but you will get tired very early as they expend a lot of energy.But in messi’s case they are even more different due to his Growth hormone deficiency problem.They provide him very fast-quick acceleration but tire him down completely after a while.And it takes a bit time for him to get ready again. It is simple ,if Messi decides to exert himself he will injure himself for 2-3 months.Those who actually watched Barcelona from 2005, always knew of this kid who was considered the next big thing but managed to injure himself for every 4-6 months,Wonder why?Because he doesn’t have your normal muscles .Guardiola changed his diet and told him not to press much and use himself efficiently,as a result We got the Greatest player of all time and there is not a single player who knows how to use himself as efficiently as Messi. Sorry I have written this too long.But this was my frustration after World cup final.And you know what, I suffered a lot as for 2-3 weeks I didn’t have the connection to come here and share my frustration with y’all.It is possible some of you may be offended by my post,but you know what I don’t care .If others don’t care while hating messi,I am not going to care while bashing Messi’s haters. Haters will hate but you know what there will always be people who actually value what Messi does. 1 Like 1 Share |
