Yesterday in the 13th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain won 4-3 against Troyes.
Neymar received Messi's direct pass to score the goal, and his running position was simply a live demonstration for Mbappe: when his teammates take the ball, the striker at the forefront should run.
Mbappe actually once when his teammate dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area, stood there with his back to the gate and face towards his teammate, did not move or adjust his footsteps for two or three seconds, and stood right on the route of his teammate. As soon as the teammate looked up with the ball, he found that he couldn't give it, and he hit the pile of people headlong and lost the ball. Immediately afterwards, with his characteristic shooting style, Mbappe wasted a 180-degree turn after Neymar juggled past several people. He didn't score this goal, it was really as suffocating as spoiling a work of art.
Neymar's surprise last night put him and Mbappe on the hot search. Some kind of condescending moral judgment rhetoric has come up again.
I don't know if those people have seen the video materials and related reports of Bailey and Garrincha? Have you seen what kind of fake moves they use to play their opponents to please the audience and win a full round of applause? According to their logic, Bailey, Garrincha, George Best ... There are many people who deserve to be kicked to death by their opponents, and if they are not kicked to death, they will be attacked online if they live until now.
These people must not have seen Ali's butterfly steps, otherwise with their moral standards of "playing and humiliating opponents is not competitive sports", Ali should be beaten by his opponents! According to this logic, the Yugoslav players who were turned over by Cruyff and became the eternal background wall should be insulted and angry, and Boateng, who was shaken down by Messi's criminal passing, should also rise up and kick people.
Under their logic, there should be no sports competitions, because it is not good to divide the victory and defeat, there will be people injured and humiliated, and it is better to draw it! They watch the game and don't see anyone being teased by their opponents, because then their little hearts can't stand it! Whoever dares to play in the game deserves to be kicked and beaten!
I have always aversion to moral judgment of everything in the arena of competitive sports, only technical evaluation.
For example, around 2010, there was a lot of noise on the Internet about Ronaldo's character needles, and I have written a long blog article so far: Ronaldo needs to improve the ball rather than the character. It was also after the World Cup in South Africa that he began to transform and change his playing style and became one of the doubles. For example, in previous years, the criticism of Messi's lack of spiritual temperament once rose to personal attacks, and I have also spoken out many times to discuss the problem of the unsuitable period caused by the changes in the matching of surrounding personnel, as well as the technical trend of his personal and the times, which are all football technical and tactical content, not the problem of being a person. Another example is the Matrazzi incident at Zidane's head, and when I explained it on the spot, I did not make moral criticism of either side, but only interpreted it from the game and the rules.
And most of those who have participated in these three large-scale moral trials involving football are also likely to believe that Neymar deserved to be kicked by playing football and provoking opponents. Provocation? Competitive sports are provocation and confrontation, is wearing a crotch considered a provocation? Which of Neymar's in-place fakes is more provocative and humiliating than wearing a crotch? Or, which one deserves to be kicked more?
Cruyff does not shoot the penalty but crosses his teammates, how to evaluate? Xiao Luo continuously picked the ball back and forth over the opponent's head, and his famous No Look Pass... Almost all the fake moves in the physical confrontation project are deception, and there is a provocative element to lure the opponent into deception...
What exactly are we watching?
