Itβs one thing to have a plan, itβs another thing to actually execute the plan and be consistent for 90 minutes.
π€£π€£π€£, which one is this one
Talking is obviously very very very easy.π π π
Watching from the stands, or screen, it's different from being on the pitch
This is a player who made prime ramos, marcelo, vvd and many other top level defenders look at best average. We know whatβs he going to do but you couldnβt stop it.
Bruh . After 15 years everyone keeps talking about this , yet can't do anything about it lol
Huh! Not even Jose Maurinho can stop him.
It easier said than done
Nice way to put it! I like the βfootball intelligenceβ phrase!
He has done it against the best defenders in Europe⦠do they have low football IQ?!?!? Foh lol accept greatness
Well.. Why dont u get on the field and do it then Mr Football intelligence
Let's be real here. It's not only football intelligence. On top of that he is skillful. He has more than one ways to produce a threat.
Itβs easier said done
Easier said than doneπ€£π€£π€£
Clowns making comments
it's easier said than done. it's like compete with genius in math, we're still typing our calculator but he already came up with the answer.
Give this man a team and have it play against messiππππ
If you can stop messi with that teory, there more 300 top euro football club wil hiring you π€£π€£π€£
Messi is the only player who plays chess on the football field, what he plans requires a lot of intelligence, Haaland, Mbappe, Ronaldo and other players just kick the ball around… that's why Messi is great, the best and unsurpassed…
Diego Simeone (Atletico Madrid): βMessi is undoubtedly the best player in the world. Heβs the determining factor. Heβs key, he controls the pace, he directs above all the teamβs attack.β
Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid): βHe is always going forwards. He never passes the ball backward or sideways. He has only one idea, to run towards the goal. So as a football fan, just enjoy the show.β
Who's "football intelligence" has ever stopped Messi in 25 years? Never happened. π
You should hav tracked Gerard in 2006 π’
Mr intelligence. Should we tell him πππ
πππ
It's funny when I hear American football pundits talking about Messi.π π π Even in Europe where they have more successful pundits, they couldn't predict the GOAT π. He's magical π
welll…wouldn't you know …oh boy…what'd you say…so that's it…he's been doing it ever since he was 19 years old and just now thanks to this man Messi is no longer a threat, gee ain't that swell !!!
What's crazy is, Cincinnati actually defended quite well. Messi had very little opportunities. But then he just dropped 2 borderline undefendable dimes onto Campana's head and that's all he needed. He's otherworldly.
Everything he said is wrong. Players like that, treat it like basket ball. Best defender not even letting the the best offensive player breath!
Itβs not football intelligence. Itβs playing perfect for 90+ minutes. You canβt be careless. Even if it was perfect, great offense can always beats great defense. There was a fantastic line by titi, βI donβt need to beat you every time. I just need to beat you onceβ
Go ahead mate. Go defend him. You got the answers sway
Y'all know how to stop him before the game,but after the game Y'all realize u don't know nothing…..π’
Hummm for 20 years this best player defenders and coaches have thought about it but it never work . Messi is code crake.
All you have to do is to play your game and leave him play one against one πππππ
I hate ppl these days yβall act like bruh jus at Messi he jus speaking logic of course itβs hard to do but it not a lie
It the truth tho .. yes itβs harder to do but itβs the truth
Greatest defenders couldn't stop him in Europe. . ..there's no way MLS defender can stop him.
Because heβsβ¦Messi
Bruh, talking like he figured out Messi and how to stop him ππππ
I'll just test this pundits lingustic intelligence. It's Lee-O-Nel Messi not Lie-o-nel Messi
This is silly. There is danger whenever Messi is on the field, period.
Thatβs why heβs the best ever – you know itβs coming but you still canβt stop it
Its all about football intelligence as he talks about outsmarting the finest brain to ever have done it.
Talk is so easy.
He cracked the code… funny guy…π
With messi on the pitch,it is danger everywhere, especially when he's scanning the picth
Tell this guy to rewatch what he did at the world cup, THE BIGGEST STAGE OF THEM ALL. Does he think the best of the best didn't try that already. (Players, managers, coaches, assistant coaches, analyst, wives to coaches and players, kids, grandkids, families, haterz, critics, even admirers…) EVERYONE TRIED AND FAILED, only one who can stop messi is MESSI HIMSELF.
Who is this guy π the world's greatest managers haven't been able to stop him and this guy iv never heard of thinks he knows the solution πππ
Is that Reo-Coker? π
Finally someone said football instead of soccer
These guys are so funny. He makes it sound like he's a 22 year old kid. You don't think coaches have tried this for the last 15 years ? He's just better than everyone, period. Ask Mourinho.
Y'all know everything how to stop him and still getting better and better π
