Messi, who won his 7th Ballon d'Or trophy, was in the limelight and once again refreshed the history of the Ballon d'Or. From the past season, Messi has not performed more than he has performed in Barcelona or in Paris, but his performance in the national team has been exceptional, leading the team to win the Copa America championship, and he is also the top scorer and assist king in this competition, which is also the key reason why he can win. Back in the league, from Barca to Paris, Messi has to adapt to not just the game, not just his teammates.
In an interview with Messi's former teammate and his good friend Suarez, he said that he would often communicate with Messi, not only to communicate the game, to communicate with the family, but also to communicate a lot of trivial matters in life, in the process of communication, Messi once said that he was not happy in Paris, the cold weather made him very uncomfortable, and the state of playing football would be affected. Compared with Barcelona, the weather in Paris is indeed a big gap, especially in the winter, the weather in Paris is much colder than Barcelona, and Messi really needs to adapt.
The state of the players is indeed affected by many factors, and the weather is also part of it, especially Messi, who stays in Barcelona all year round, when feeling the winter in Paris, really needs to have a process of adaptation, which will really affect his mood and state. In this season's Ligue 1, Messi played in 8 league games for Paris, scoring 1 goal and giving 3 assists, which is indeed a big decline compared to the performance of the past for Barca. Especially in terms of goal stats, the decline has been a bit severe.
From Barca to Paris, Messi is adapting to the team's tactics and his new teammates. Messi at Barca is the absolute core of the team, almost every opportunity in the attack in the front court requires Messi's participation, whether it is organizing the attack or completing the shot, he has a lot of autonomy. But coming to Paris, he had to adapt to the team's frontcourt with Neymar and Mbappe and adapt to the team's tactics. Maybe Messi needs to sacrifice a large part of his shooting power and take on more responsibility in organizing the attack.
Of course, it must be seen that Messi is getting better and better in Paris, and he is gradually adapting to his new role, as well as his position and identity in the team. This can be seen from the performance on the field, he is gradually getting out of the downturn, and the cooperation between him and his teammates is more tacit. But it may take more time to adapt to the weather in Paris, and just a few months will not allow him to complete this change. But perhaps when Messi adapts to Greater Paris, his career in Greater Paris will not be too far from over.
