Although Messi Lyon's side is not very familiar, the coaching staff of Lyon is quite familiar. After all, Messi is young, but he is already a well-known talent in the Eredivisie. Although he is not the main player of PSV Eindhoven, his role is not low. Therefore, Lyon's coaching staff still knows Messi and understands his characteristics. Therefore, seeing Messi on the field, the members of the coaching staff also gave the players some new arrangements.

"Messi, who is about to be eighteen, became famous at the World Junior Championships in Finland in '03. In that World Junior Championships, Messi won the Golden Boot Award at the World Junior Championships. After returning from the World Junior Championships, Messi began to become an important rotation player under Coach Hiddink. ”

Messi originally came on to replace Afelai's position, but Messi was not fixed on the right side after coming on the field. Messi did not actively participate in the defense like Afellai, but instead ran around like a free man up front. Instead, Van Bommel dropped back slightly to help Messi defend on the right flank. This change was not expected by Leon at all. Lyon's coaching staff didn't expect it, and neither did Lyon's players.

"It's been 74 minutes and the score is still 0-1 down from PSV Eindhoven. Cocu, Cocu gave the ball to Messi in the middle. ”

Messi was not very involved in defending on the right flank, and Van Bommel could only help him fill in the position. This time Messi ran to the middle again, and Lyon's middle is not simple. Essien, in particular, is not a simple person. Afelai is also a very good attacking player in the Eredivisie, especially his speed, technique and breakthrough are all first-class. However, this game was completely limited against Essien.

Messi's small size against Essien is certainly not an opponent. Once Essien is entangled, Essien will be able to knock Messi away with his body. Afele was destroyed by Essien's method. For midfielders in European football. There are very few who can be under Essien's close defense, and the body does not fall behind. Messi's body is certainly not in the ranks of the fight against Essien.

But Messi and Afelai have different characteristics. Messi's explosiveness and speed over short distances were fast, and when Essien intercepted, he did not break through to the middle, but turned to the left.

"Messi's choice is not wise. Wiltord has dropped back to defend and Revier and Kacapa are already in position. ”

When Messi broke through to the left, Wiltord was the first to retreat to defend. There are also Lyon's right-back Revier and central defender Kakapa are ready to eliminate Messi directly. Essien is on his heels. Surrounded on three sides by Lyon's players, Messi was not given any space at all.

"Messi, Messi's breakthrough is so wonderful."

Messi's passing is not as good as Ronaldinho's from an ornamental point of view. Ronaldinho's brilliance is truly artistic. It's dazzling to watch. Amazed. But Messi's passing is more by changing speed and direction during the run, but because his speed and frequency are too fast for the defenders to react.

This time Messi is no exception. Lyon has already surrounded Messi, but Messi has made a breakthrough in a small space. And there is no rest of the movement when it breaks through. It is a buckle of the left foot and a buckle of the right foot. A simple change of direction. It's just that the frequency is too fast. Invincible in a small space.

First, he smashed the ball with his left foot past Wiltord. Then there was a buckle of the right foot, and it passed Essien, who was about to be pasted up. Two very simple actions. But it is Messi's most commonly used. Such a small space is more beneficial for Messi's performance, because several Lyon players are just trying to reduce the space. If it was a one-on-one defense, like Essien, he would have used both hands and feet a long time ago. It's just that this time because the space is almost compressed, Essien doesn't want to give PSV Eindhoven a free kick in this position. But with such a small hesitation from him, Messi has already broken through two in two strokes.

Messi's breakthrough of Wiltord and Essien was too sudden, so Kakapa could only come up to defend. Kacapa hopes that a few people will directly compress the space, Messi, even if you pass again, can you still break through the place where there is no gap. So Kakapa came up to plug the gap that Messi broke through.

"Messi, Essien in the back pulled Messi...... It's a foul. ”

Essien was an afterthought, and Messi only reacted after breaking through, so he stepped forward and pulled Messi. This made Kakapa in front of him dissatisfied, he had already blocked the gap for Messi's breakthrough, what are you pulling him for, isn't this a free kick? Messi is breaking through at high speed, and of course he fell to the ground when he was pulled. But Messi poked the ball before falling to the ground.

"No, Messi passed the ball out of the ball before he fell to the ground...... Park Ji-sung, Park Ji-sung came to the empty seat left by Kakapa. ”

When Messi fell to the ground, he saw Kacapa stop, and with a small space, he poked the ball out. Park Ji-sung said that his ball control ability is average, and his skills are also average. From the perspective of offensive players, Park Ji-sung's passes, shots are average, and his passing is not very good. If he is physically good alone, it is impossible to let top coaches like Hiddink and Ferguson use Park Ji-sung like that.

There are three outstanding things about this guy that Ferguson and Hiddink like very much. First of all, Park Ji-sung has very good physical strength, and being called "Three-Lung Park" is the biggest proof. The other is his tactical ability, Park Ji-sung's tactical execution ability is very strong, so much so that Pirlo wrote in his memoirs that Park Ji-sung is "Ferguson's dog", indicating that he is very good at Ferguson's tactical execution.

In addition to these two, Park Ji-sung's biggest skill is the ability to find space. A lot of people are born with this ability, like players like Frank Lampard and Inzaghi. Park Ji-sung's off-ball running is outstanding, which is why many coaches like him.

This time was no exception. The moment Kakappa came up to defend Messi, Park Ji-sung ran from the left to Kakapa's original position, which was completely undefended. At a time when Lyon's defensive line hadn't completely blocked Kakapa's position, Park Ji-sung came here. It happened to receive the ball poked out by Messi.

"Park Ji-sung, there is no one to defend him. Park Ji-sung, passing...... Huntelaar, shoot! ”

Park Ji-sung's passing was not very good. But Park Ji-sung is also a professional player, and a simple pass when no one is defending is still passable. This time was no exception, after winning the ball he didn't think about shooting, but crossed to Huntelaar.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Huntelaar, Huntelaar. PSV Eindhoven equalised, which was not good news for Lyon. After all, this is Lyon's home stadium, and if they are equalised at home, the next leg will be difficult. ”

"Although the goal was scored by Huntelaar and assisted by Park Ji-sung. But the credit of the youngster Messi is the greatest. Messi, surrounded by several players, made the best ball. Messi is billed as PSV Eindhoven's best talent, and sure enough. ”

Although Messi did not score, a series of beautiful passes and passes still attracted everyone's attention. Messi immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Frank, what did I say? Leo is a top-notch genius born to turn the tide. ”

Seeing Messi's outstanding performance, Rist couldn't help but show off with Arneson next to him. Arneson looked at Messi and nodded, when he talked about Messi in Eindhoven and Liste, although Rister was full of confidence, Arneson was still skeptical. After all, if a genius wants to succeed, there are not one or two factors in it.

But looking at the eighteen-year-old Messi soon, Arneson is indeed amazing. Sure enough, it's a genius, no wonder Rister has boasted since a few years ago that Messi has the qualifications to be the king of the ball.

"Lister, just let Messi come to our Tottenham."

Messi's breakthroughs just now made Arneson appreciate it too much. Messi's breakthrough must be very useful when he encounters the stupid big man in the Premier League. But Rist shook his head and said with a smile: "Frank, Leo is the superstar I will bargain with the top giants in European football in the future. Although the friendship between you and me is very good, Tottenham is still too low. ”

Arneson sighed. From the first time Lister proudly introduced Messi, Arneson knew that Lister attached great importance to Messi. Messi is the trump card in the hands of Rister in the future, and he will definitely not go to a quasi-giant like Tottenham. Rist and Arneson have a good personal relationship, but this personal relationship is not so good that it makes Lister give up Messi.

At that moment, Arneson was a little angry. It's not that I'm angry with Rister, but I feel that Tottenham's grade is too low. Arneson slowly felt that Tottenham did not deserve him.

"Frank, I'm sorry. In fact, you can choose other people at will, but Leo is different. ”

Rist was afraid that Arneson would be angry. After all, Lister and Arneson have worked together for many years, not only in personal relationships, but also in other interests. Rist is reluctant to share with Arneson, and the two have to work together to make a lot of money.

"I see what you mean. Tottenham are not worthy of a top talent like Messi. ”

"And it's not just for that reason. Leo I will never let him go to the Premier League, his small body is not sure how to get injured in the Premier League. I will use him to compete with La Liga giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona in the future. ”

"Yes."

The game isn't over. At this time, the true colors began to appear, and Ben Alpha began to be amazing. But now Ben Alpha is impatient, and then more and more independent. I know that I dribble the ball past people and then shoot it myself. Lyon had some impatience, while PSV Eindhoven equalised away from home, so they were playing more and more freely.

'Cocu, pass...... Messi, Messi is offside. Messi countered offside from the middle of Abidal and Chris. Messi, shoot! ”

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Two to one, two to one. PSV Eindhoven overtook the lead away from home and Messi helped PSV Eindhoven score a point. (To be continued......)
