Does not speak volumes at all. It's sound football. You do not leave an OPEN space for a genius dribbler to receive ALONE.

You mean mark messi but if he marked messi xavi is able to dictate and give defence splitting passes to villa, pedro and iniesta which has happened afew times.this system can only work with xavi-iniesta-messi. No one else can reproduce these system. They can literally outpass the whole the team to score.

If you did not press Xavi it gives Xavi the space and time to dictate the midfield. So in general, the false 9 position of Messi was really a legendary move by Pep to utilize the greatest player on the planet at that time to open up spaces and to force Real Madrid into the back foot.

@newwrld5874 5 ай бұрын

He suffered 1st hand to gain the knowledge he has now plus being coached by Pep, Mou, Ancelotti etc. He’s so well rounded now from arguably the best defensive coach oat to best possession manager oat plus a mastermind like Ancelotti who always figures out a way to win. This man is set to becoming one of the greatest coaches in the world.

I used watch a lot of Prime Barca and especially El Clasico. It was insane how much Messi and Barca dominated in those matches. Messi at his prime on the ball would just make his opponents insecure. Will he dribble? Will he pass? Will he turn? Will he go left? Right? Will he feint? Will he just take a long distance shot? Will he outpace someone on the ball? He could do it all and that made him so dangerous. You just couldn't predict what he's do.
