The Day Lionel Messi Changed Football Tactics Forever ||HD||

The Day Lionel Messi & Pep Guardiola Introduced a New Kind of Formation & Player in Association Football ||
On May 2, 2009, Barcelona visited arch rivals Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu for a pivotal league encounter. To the surprise of the hosts, Guardiola called an audible in the 9th minute and signaled right winger Messi and center forward Samuel Eto’o to swap positions. Once again, the opponents did not know how to defend the false 9, and Barcelona would go on to claim a resounding 6-2 victory.
The false 9, in some ways similar to a more advanced attacking midfielder/playmaker role, is an unconventional lone striker or centre-forward, who drops deep into midfield. The purpose of this is that it creates a problem for opposing centre-backs who can either follow the false 9, leaving space behind them for onrushing midfielders, forwards or wingers to exploit, or leaving the false 9 to have time and space to dribble or pick out a pass. The term comes from the traditional number for centre-forwards (nine), and the fact that normally a centre-forward traditionally stayed near the line of defenders until they got an opportunity to move past the toward goal. Key attributes for a false 9 are similar to those of a deep-lying striker: dribbling ability to take advantage of space between the lines, good short passing ability to link up with the midfield and vision to play through teammates making runs from deep to goal.
The day Leo was transformed into a false 9 is the day every European side crumbled and cowered into fear. When the name of Barcelona would arise, Messi’s brutality on the field would instantly be pictured. Real Madrid suffered a barbarous blow in the Argentinian’s first game occupying the intricate role as Barça battered them 6-2 at the Bernabéu in May 2009. Los Blancos had no counter to the Catalans’ forward line and simply witnessed Pep’s men wreak havoc. Though both clubs have come a long way since then, it’s fair to say Real Madrid still get nightmares from that era. Of course, Leo was a ruthless striker even before he had been introduced to the unfamiliar role of a false 9, but this particular position made him, and his teammates surrounding him, imperishable.
To this day, Messi’s reign of supremacy as a falso nueve [ False Nine ] is remembered as he tore apart Europe with the most terrifying team by his side. ||

[@21753117]

​@@michelleper5065 Maradona was great, undoubtedly more technically gifted, with a more powerful physique and a strongly commanding spirit throughout his career, but his professionalism and accomplishments in the field are nowhere near the level of Messi's. Lionel won all you can win in the sport, multiple times, being the winning factor most of the time, and scored several hundred goals more than Maradona at the highest competition level. Maradona only played in Europe as a relevant player from 1982 to 1990. Then he was suspended for 15 months and even if he was important for his national team up to 1994, after 1990 he didn't win any titles at club level. After the 1994 World Cup he was mostly a retired player. Maradona's career is similar to Ronaldinho's: the most technically gifted, at the top of the world for some time, but with problems in their personal life, they lost focus at some point whereas Messi kept focused for many more years at the highest competition level. The fact that Maradona, at his peak, was more spectacular and enjoyable to watch in the field, as well as Ronaldinho's gameplay at his peak was more attractive to the fans, does not take away that Messi is the GOAT.
