What kind of footballer is Messi? He needs to compete for the Golden Boot with forward players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lewandowski, and at the same time compete with players like Neymar and Hazard, and Messi has a record that is not much concerned, that is, his assists, Messi now has to compete with midfielders such as De Bruyne and Modric for the best offensive organizer.
Since Messi delivered six assists in the 2005-2006 La Liga season, he has begun to contribute terrible assist data for Barca and Argentina, from the beginning of the 2007-2008 season, Messi's personal assist data has not been less than ten, so far, Messi has contributed more than 20 assists in an annual year has reached six times!
They are:
In the 2010-2011 season, Messi contributed 29 assists;
In the 2011-2012 season, Messi contributed 33 assists.
In the 2014-2015 season, Messi contributed 32 assists.
In the 2015-2016 season, Messi contributed 27 assists.
In the 2017-2018 season, Messi contributed 21 assists.
In the 2018-2019 season, Messi contributed 20 assists.
In the 2019-2020 season, Messi contributed 26 assists.
This is another very terrible world record for Messi, and it will be difficult for other players to surpass it in the future.
This actually reflects from another side what kind of player Messi is. Now the world is arguing about messi and Ronaldo who is the best player in history, in fact, more accurately, we are calculating who scored more goals in the same number of games, if you consider the technical point of view of football, we are arguing about the history of Messi and Ronaldo who is the player who scored the most goals, who is the best forward player, but football is only a forward, only goals? Of course not!
Football is a team sport, assists are sometimes more important than goals, because a good organizational player can deliver very comfortable passes to the front players, give the front players more chances to score goals, the goals of the front players will be easier and more they are the behind-the-scenes heroes who help the team win, maybe sometimes the assist players are covered up by the goal data of the front players, but if we go back to those excellent football teams, there will be very good organizational players.
Messi is such an organizational player, in addition to being a very good forward player, he can also contribute a lot of assist data to the other front players of the team!
Maybe sometimes we overlook Messi's assists because he scored a lot of goals, but FIFA didn't ignore Messi like that. Messi is fifa's record holder for the most offensive organizer of the year: he has been judged by the FIFA Federation of History and Statistics 4 times (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019), FIFA's Best Offensive Organizer, tied for first place with Xavi!
Subsequently, the FIFA Federation of History and Statistics named Messi the best organizing player for 2011-2020.
They then named Messi the best offensive organizational player in history.
This is Messi, when you pay attention to his goal statistics, maybe you ignore that he is also a unique player in the world in the field of assists, he has surpassed Giggs in the number of assists to become the first assist king of the five major leagues, he is the only player to break the 300 mark in the total number of assists!
