Another historical first! Messi, who is so different: but so fateful

After last night's goal frame, messi has had 10 shots on goal with the goal frame in this season's Ligue 1. This is also the highest number of hitting the goal frame in a single season in the top league since the start of the 2006-07 season.

You have to sigh that even with this kind of data, Messi has created a historical first. This may be Messi, so different but ill-fated. This has somewhat affected Messi's mentality, and he often can't get into his own rhythm when he shoots now.

01. Messi in Paris: It's really hard to play

a. Insufficient attackers in the middle of Paris: 424 exacerbates the problem

Every game is filled with fans, and messi's feelings when he is in Paris are often one sentence: this ball is really too difficult to play.

Especially when posing in a 424 formation, there is no possibility of a central defender inserting in the middle with fewer midfielders, and Mbappe is too fond of running to the wing, and Messi, as a forward, will find himself facing two layers of defense.

In this attack, for example, when Neymar picked up the ball on the flank, Paris was left unattended in the entire centre.

There is no pressure on the Troyes defence, so when Messi chooses to withdraw to take the ball, they can arrange for defenders to follow all the way, so that Messi is always in a back-to-back state, and more and more defenders are pinching.

Messi is 34 years old, and indeed he is no longer the one who can do incredible things in a crowd of people in a small space. So this time Messi, who was completely entangled, retreated to the middle circle to handle the ball, and was finally intercepted by the opponent's tackle out of the sideline.

b. If you want to score, you need more no-ball sprints

Messi's current area of activity is more in the middle, and Paris Saint-Germain does not let people in front of him, making it difficult for Messi to enter his own offensive rhythm.

Especially under the 424 system, if you want to score, you must sprint without the ball, which is also the basic law of Paris attack.

Especially after Di Maria obtained a certain percentage of possession, someone needed to run to catch it. This time Messi stepped forward at the first time after scoring Di Maria and played a very beautiful attack.

However, Messi's forward and backward shots have not been very reliable since the second half of 2015, and this time the shots have not been fully played.

However, when facing Nigeria in the 2018 World Cup, Messi scored the most exciting front goal of his career, and I don't know if this time he is saving energy for the World Cup again.

02. The ball is right to pass back: Messi loves the rhythm of 121

So far this season, Messi has contributed nine goals and 13 assists in all competitions, plus 12 shots on goal frames. If he had been a little luckier, Messi, who got two doubles, might not have encountered so many doubts.

What happened to Messi's shot? The second shot of the game was in the frame, which is a good indication that Messi's shooting skills are still top-notch. He still wants to get into the rhythm he is used to, so that he can play a very high level.

Is Messi afraid of being a defender in front of him? As long as he can face the goal and hit the wall in front of him, even if there are 3 people blocking, it is a thing for Messi to break the defense in a second.

In injury time, Messi received this long-range shot from Wijnaldum and almost completed the kill, but it was unfortunately blocked by the crossbar.

At this moment, there may be an illusion of dreaming back to Calderon and Camp Nou, and Messi's last-minute long-range shot to break the atletico god reappears.

Including the first half of the shot in the middle of the post, Kylian Mbappe's return, Messi took the ball and beautifully passed the low shot, but unfortunately smashed on the upright, Neymar's supplementary shot was blown offside.

All Messi needed was someone on the front of the penalty area to give him the ball back, and he received the ball and entered his own shooting rhythm.

03. Messi should have been 121 at the rhythm: now it's 123

After the game, the team reported messi a 2nd lowest score of 4 points, which was really not fair enough. After all, the team's 2-0 to 2-2 was entirely due to Mendez's two turnovers.

It was uncomfortable to play in the game, and Messi could easily not find his own rhythm of the game. In the past, Messi's strongest thing was to receive the ball and adjust it in one go, and instantly shoot from the foot to shoot without giving the defender a chance.

However, in this game, we saw Messi adjust the ball in three consecutive touches before shooting with more space. It's not a question of technical scope or physical condition, but that Messi has a certain amount of pressure psychologically.

The opportunities for Paris Saint-Germain often occur under this super-fast rhythm of offensive and defensive conversion. Messi's first touch was to avoid the first defender and allow himself to get a better angle to adjust the angle of the shot.

However, when he touched the ball for the second time, the angle of the shot was actually large enough, but Messi adjusted a little more, perhaps because he was not so confident in his own shot and wanted to take it to the correct position of the goal.

Something happened to Live Kumi, and then Messi completed the third touch. This time, if in the past, it should actually be the first touch of the ball, followed by a shot.

In fact, after this touch, Messi's continuous shots were fast. The problem is that the first 2 steps are a bit redundant, but instead the third touch turns into a chance for the defender to get closer to Messi.

In the end, this shot can only be fought at an angle, but it is a pity that it is slightly offside. Why Messi now shoots more goals and hits the goalpost, in fact, it is also related to the small shooting angle after adjusting more, which must be related to the pursuit of accuracy.

Paris did not win this game, which is somewhat similar to the Champions League against Real Madrid. After 2-0, the team's left-back Mendes made a pass mistake, allowing the opponent to pull back a goal.

In the second half, Mendes sent a penalty in the face of little threat to let the opponent equalize smoothly.

Coupled with Neymar's beautiful goal, which was blown out by the referee with a spurious foul, Paris had to accept a draw, and As a result, Messi was arranged by the team newspaper to "carry the pot".

Conclusion:

Two shots on goal in one game hit the goal frame, and Messi's total goals after coming to Paris remained at 9 goals, still one step away from the double.

In fact, as long as you believe in yourself and stick to the rhythm of one-two-one touch, messi still has the first shooting technique in football history, the goal is not so far away, and it is not only the fans who need patience, but also Messi himself.
