In the 22nd round of Ligue 1 in the early morning of January 24, Beijing time, Paris Saint-Germain played at home to Reims. In the end, Messi, who had just recovered from the new crown, came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute, assisting teammate Verratti to make a oolong ball, which also announced the return of "Boss May".
In the first half, Verratti scored to give Paris a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Ramos shot after himself and scored his debut goal in Ligue 1. But in the first half of the big Paris, it was obvious that the kick was a bit chaotic.
Although Messi played less than half an hour off the bench, the whole scene in Greater Paris clearly began to come alive, scoring three goals in a row in the second half – although Messi did not score, he participated in the instigation of Verratti to make a oolong goal, and in the end, Paris Beat Reims 4-0 and still led the table with an 11-point advantage.
And some "Mehei" began to smear after the game: Messi left Barca as a loser, he could not succeed in Ligue 1!
Let's look at messi's situation after coming to Paris: so far, he has made 12 appearances in Ligue 1, but 4 of them have either been replaced early or as a substitute.
Among them, Messi contributed 1 goal and 4 assists in the league, but at the same time, Messi also indirectly participated in the production of multiple goals, and Messi had 8 shots on goal, which is also the most record in the five major leagues this season, which also shows that Messi is somewhat unlucky.
However, after coming to Paris, Messi scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 5 games in the Champions League, averaging 1.2 goals per game – which is obviously still a world-class performance!
The league title in Greater Paris is basically stable, and Messi's main purpose of coming to Greater Paris is precisely for a higher goal: the Champions League! Judging by the current performance, how can it be easy to conclude that "Messi cannot succeed, but is a loser"?
For such criticism, Benzema, a major opponent of Messi in La Liga, also talked about this topic related to Messi in an interview with the French "telefootball" recently.
Benzema said in an interview: "How can Messi not succeed? He's just in the adaptation period now, and he doesn't score a lot, but we have to look at how he does on the pitch – you can't criticize a player like Messi, those who criticize Messi don't know football at all! ”
Who in this world knows more about football? Of course, it is professional players, especially between players who are familiar with each other, such as teammates, such as opponents.
And one of the players who can be regarded as the most direct opponents with Messi in his career: Benzema, obviously has a lot of say; and as an opponent between "sworn enemies" teams, Benzema's views are more representative and convincing - his sentence "People who criticize Messi don't understand the ball" is estimated to make the messiah scratch their hearts and face black to the end!
Messi has not always been defined as a goalscorer in the pure sense of the word - although in the past two decades, the world's best scorers have scored goals with Messi, such as goal king Cristiano Ronaldo, such as "World Front" Levan, such as Real Madrid's team top scorer Benzema after C Ronaldo left, but Messi is really not behind these competitors in goals.
At the same time, it is important to know that Messi is also a role model admired by the world's football midfield masters - Messi is the first person to win the most awards in the "World's Best Midfielder" selection with Harvey: both of them have been named the world's best midfielder four times in their careers; in 2021, Messi, despite the transfer storm, he is still ranked third in the world's best midfielder selection.
In the later period, Messi was more to withdraw his position and use it as a shadow striker, and his heavy responsibility was placed on the organizational connection, which is why Messi can have an "assist hat trick" in Paris, which also fully shows that Messi is an "all-round king"!
Messi's success really can't be defined by just one statistic; whether it's his dribbling, passing, organizing; assists, scoring... It's all so eye-catching, it's all so amazing, this football master-level superstar can also be said to be a unique existence in the world.
Messi, who is now almost 35 years old, we will only reduce the time he plays football, so it is better to cherish it while watching, and stop "brainless black" for a superstar! 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
