Messi's absence from the Greater Paris attack is difficult! In the match against Lyon, equalize by coming off the bench!

Original/Oxygen is a metro

On 10 January, Paris drew 1–1 with Lyon. In this game, only Mbappe can play, and Messi, although recovering from the virus, has not yet been active, so he is absent from this game. Neymar was fouled by his opponents in the previous Ligue 1 and is still recuperating. Ramos was able to make a comeback and was on the big list, but was discarded by Pochettino. Mbappe has been in good shape lately, with a hat-trick in the French Cup, but this game was lucky, with two shots hitting the goal frame to take over Messi in a strange pose.

Without Messi, the Attack of Paris is limited, Pochettino's tactics are not so much, relying on the super savior, but now that Messi and Neymar are absent, if Mbappe can't score, then the Paris he coaches can only rely on metaphysics. The game was a metaphysical blessing, and the substitute Korel kicked the ball, although blocked by the goalkeeper's foot, but refracted the goal.

The goal of Paris has an element of luck, but this attack is the result of cooperation, the players began to pass the ball outside the box, using the combination to break the dense defense, and the space in the box can also find space to pass the ball, and finally Correll shot. According to Di Maria, Paris is based on counterattack as a tactical system, so Messi, who is accustomed to passing, will not be very comfortable.

However, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe can all pass, their style of receiving the ball, the function is also to score goals and assists, so it is inevitable that Paris will also have to add pass control in the counterattack. This goal showed the effect that Paris wanted, a style of play that Needed Pochettino to stick to.

But whether Pochettino will be able to hold on is hard to say. At this stage, he is reported by the media that he will leave at the end of the season to coach Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo is characterized by being good at scoring goals, and Pochettino may look at him like watching the big Icardi. However, Ronaldo's function is not as much as Messi or even Neymar and Mbappe, which Pochettino may need to adapt. The pressure on Manchester United is not less than that of this big Paris team, and how long Pochettino can hold out for Ronaldo's Manchester United is unknown. What's more, Pochettino has repeatedly believed that Messi is better than C Ronaldo, which is acceptable for C Ronaldo, who is seriously jealous of Messi? Some British media have said that Pochettino, who has repeatedly praised Messi than Ronaldo, will be embarrassed to coach Manchester United.

Before he could coach Cristiano Ronaldo, Pochettino could continue to enjoy coaching Messi. Coaching Messi is actually quite easy, because Messi himself is a set of tactics, he can pass the ball and assist, can pass people and can also contain defense, which is equivalent to two or three more kings on the field. The biggest problem in Greater Paris at the moment is that Messi has not yet gained momentum. As long as Messi rises, even if Pochettino has few tactics, Paris can also win the Champions League. But even a bad Messi, who can win the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, is the strongest player last year. Messi, who is not in good shape, can still provide strong energy in the game, which is a skill that any player in active service does not have. So Guardiola, who has rejected Cristiano Ronaldo, will say that in his team, Messi is the only player who will always start.
