Lionel Messi • Playmaking • More Than Just Final Balls | Controlling the play

[@Abdullah60-zb1mf]

This is what Playmaking is. Controlling the play with absolute mastery and intelligence. Some people think that just doing good passes makes u a playmaker. But this is Playmaking at its best. Making the game flow. Making the game tick. Making the game stop when needed. Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Pirlo are some players who are just unbelievable at it.

This is why some people think Ronaldo and Messi are about the same, they see stats of goals and they think that's all there is to it. They don't see the playmaking, that pass before the assist that broke the whole defense, the run after run that leads to wearing down defenders like jabs do to boxers before the knockout punch. Thanks for the great video!

I don’t think you can separate his playmaking skills from his goal-scoring ability, they complement each other. Messi is an exceptionally determined and offensive player who pushes his team forward, even in situations where most players wouldn’t. His relentless drive to break through the opposition’s defense and find the back of the net fuels his aggressive style of play. In other words, I don't think there would be a playmaker Messi without the goalscoring Messi. Remember how many predicted Messi's number would drop as he dropped deeper and transitioned to play as a midfielder later in his career? That didn't happen at all. Messi continues to score at an unbelievable rate.

[@tutti8070]

Because once Messi touch the ball, he create the best possible condition for his teammates and they know exactly what to do with the ball because they too are very technical and intelligent players. But Messi's level is a bit higher up. It's like Messi alone is 50% playmaker and his teammates make up the other 50% and all together the team is 100%.

[@omerselcukcetin]

Before this guy there was Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and Totti, Henry, Del Piero etc. Whom, when you watch a match they are in you can see they were different. They had those trademark moves, flashy skills and all. Then this guy appeared, in his second year as professional he played against all those giants, and was flying through wings, breaking ankles, making people fall on their butts. He was incredible, was playing super physical, his technique was also good but the speed and those turns were unbelievable. He played like that for 2-3 years. After that he changed the way he played. He started doing everything in right tone, never pushing the limits while improving his intelligence greatly. Then he became the perfect footballer. All the things he did can be done by any second division footballer separately. His passes are simple; not like those beckham, totti, scholes, xabi alonso passes that go through 9 people from 80 meters while curving beautifullly then suddenly stopping in front of receiver; even in long distances they are safe passes with a litttle curve and mostly not very high up in the air. He shoots when it is safe to shoot and they are not beckham, fido, del piero shoots like super accurate or van persie, rooney, scholes, zidane shoots from incredible angles; no they are just safe shoots that are mostly accurate. His 1 on 1 moves (sometimes 1 on 7 :) is his strongest individual quality but even they are also simple when you think them separately, he is not using super speed or incredible skill moves like ronaldo and ronaldinho. He pulls the ball right and left. How he does them is not something that can be expressed through words. He played safe. He had ferrari engine and drove it like fiat (as zlatan stated in his frustration with guardiola). He didn't get injured for a long time, he played well above everyone else consistently for so much of a long time that i do not believe anyone ever in history performed his/her profession better and consistently ever.

Ronaldo can never play game on this level

[@cdknowledge]

Ronaldo was also always a true forward winger, and a wide midfielder before that. Messi on paper has been a forward winger for the large majority of his career but he's never been bound to that position. He pretty much roams around, so it's easier for him to link up play w his teammates since there's passing option always all around him. Not too many options when you're a winger. You either beat your defender and cross the ball in to the box, link up with the full back, or play the ball into the midfield...

[@Skinlessmage]

⁠@@cdknowledgei get what your saying the system is build around messi but stop it Ronaldo does not have this ability he is a different type of player.

Since the 10/11 till now Cr7 is a winger you dont his assist tally as a winger without having playmaking you could clearly Google this but you prefer to lie and spread a false narrative to tear down another player. Messi is better but you dont need to lie about to prove this You know this now so lets see are you gonna still keep spewing the same bs about Ronaldo even though the facts say otherwise just to elevate Messi who doesnt need the elevation because he is the player. In fact its disrespectful to Messi in this debate because Messi at one point took on cr7 at his fullest force and still won cr7 is a monster of a player that Messi himself even acknowledges which makes him being better all the more impressive. Because him beating that consistently for so many years makes it clearly just how frighteningly great Messi is. Messi fans that say cr7 doesnt playmake have no right to say cr7 fans dont know this and that about Messi because they clearly dont know this and that about cr7 and are complacent heck even prideful in spewing false narrative about cr7's abilities.

If you wouldn't accept people lying about Messi why should others accept you lying about other players?????? when Cr7 was at Real Madrid they scored a 100 goals each season in La Liga. the highest scoring season is 2011/12 when they scored 121 goals the lowest team scoring season was 2017/18 when they scored 94 after he left Madrid couldn't even score 90 goals in a la Liga season Theres more than one way to impact a team. Portugal at the World CupThe 2022 World Cup was Portugal's 8th appearance at the World Cup, adding to appearances in 1966, 1986, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018. More constiently making the WC since cr7 appeared is not a coincidence. Portugal winning ther first two major trophies with cr7 among their ranks is not a coincidence Ofcourse he never did it on his own it's a team sport this was evident when Messi wanted to leave Barca, when Messi was at PSG, when Cr7 was at Juve but big players have an impact hence it took Barca a while to win La Liga again and Real Madrid took 4 years to win a champions league again. Even Maradona didnt do it alone in 1986. Not even Messi in 2022. However my point stands there are different playstyles that impact the team differently and cr7 is not just a poacher. I'm tired of people spreading that lie and I'm tired of people expecting him to control the midfield or play football like his in Barcelona anyone who watches tactics videos knows thats clearly not plausible especially when you also know there are different types of players and different positions for a reason. And there are also different footballing philosophies. If cr7 tried to control the midfield in a counter attacking system that would ruin the quick transitions so that doesnt make any sense it's better for him to be upfront and either deliver the pass or score him doing triangle passes in the midfield or tiki taka is not plausible. Even in Barca Messi has a free role going anywhere he wants to deliver quick 1-2 passes with players that have been been playing that way since they were 13 years old La Masia literally breeds players to do that why would cr7 make Man U or Real Madrid play like La masia graduates when the football philosphy says otherwise that would heavily disrupt the team this is a glaring weakness in your criticism of cr7 besides the blatant lying.

The ability to delay the simple pass, back oneself to progress the ball the make an even better pass. Simply extraordinary!

Honestly the most reliable 1-2 player/passer ever. You can trust he will receive, keep and return that ball in a better position.

I watch every game Barcelona before messi come and after messi started play with his number 30 and he scored a loop chil goal .. since that i never miss to watch the messi game .. he played all around player , he dive deep to control the game .. he involved almost every touch from the backside to midle and attack .. he had the vision that he wanted the game played ..

[@tatapclaude1222]

Messi stands at the Pinnacle of football, no player is close to Messi

[@freddylyaki]

Don’t compare Cr7 with Messi, it is a insult to football to compare Messi with other players in this Level of football IQ and intelligence. A super goat ever lived, Messi the GOAT and King 🤴

[@bristle_wales]

Watching this, I can say with pride that Messi can play as a defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation. The guy is just too good.

[@dipshidz]

Not only in scanning the movement of players, almost all of his passes are also very precise. His ability to read space is also above average. All these skills, coupled with his god-level dribbling ability, his highly accurate kicks, his incredible stamina, as well as his very stable strength, what can be made, there is no shortage of Messi.

[@firmanzakaria3838]

Ketika hari pensiun messi itu tiba, saat itulah messi meninggalkan standart tinggi dalam segi permainan.. terutama playmaker Dan ketika pemain jaman sekarang memenangkan ballon d'or, kita akan menganggap biasa saja. Tp kita tetap harus menghormati pemain tersebut. Walaupun itu tidak akan pernah mendekati level permainan messi. Lionel andres messi Terhebat yang pernah ada ❤ Saya beruntung bisa menikmati permainan anda sejak debut hingga sekarang. Terimakasih untuk "seni sepakbola" yang telah kau suguhkan kepada kami sebagai penikmat sepakbola ❤❤
