mrmojorisin75 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Is it legal to suggest that Messi doesn't appear to be as effective against international class defensive units? I think it's the players around him aren't as good. I might be off here, but I think it's the opposite. Portugal know Ronaldo is their main man and they play like it. Argentina are caught in two minds whether to play as a team with Di Maria, Aguero, Dybala etc, or just utilise Messi. Messi shouldn't have to carry Argentina, but they act like he should without admitting it and end up doing fuck all. I think you're bang on about Portugal but don't agree about Argentina. I think their only tactic is for Messi to run the game from deep but it's too easy to defend against because they've not had the sense to play any proper wide men and stretch the play. Easier with Ronaldo because the other 9 just have to not concede and try to give him the ball near the box. I feel if Argentina actually copy that Messi + 9 defenders, they'd be a success! Instead they play bits of Messi messi messi and bits with the other players like Aguero, leaving shit like Enzo Perez holding the fort Probably aye. Back 4, 2 cms, Di Maria and another wide player, Messi plus either higuain or aguero up front and they'd be in considerably better shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo’s physicality will always mean he’s a threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Croatia aren't getting enough credit IMO. I genuinely don't think they are that good tbh, i guess we'll see in the KOs though. They arn’t that good, but they have been the better side against a team that is full of so called ‘super stars’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
