People forget this is the era with the most so so defenders being called "the best". Stones, Van Dijk, Pique, Boateng and that funny lot. Can never win a balon d'or like Cannavaro, not half the defender Nesta, Stam, Maldini, Baresi, Desailly, Thuram, Blanc were. But here we are.
If prime Messi was in this exact position he'd be stopped too, no sensible room to dribble and Dias was paitent and baited Messi into his favourite shooting range, but rushed in just when Messi he had an opening to tap the ball wide enough to get a run-up. It's not about player skill it's a trap which Messi was forced into thanks to his shitty squad, but with 2012 Barca things would be very different. Defending was vastly different back then, people would try to rush in towards Messi, which is the scenario he handles very well so Messi could walk through defenses. However this is Pep's Man City, he knows to zone out PSG Messi you need to force him into scenarios where the only option is to pass which isn't an option at all, because Mbappe is hardly ever where he's supposed to be unlike Suarez. He just that bit more clinical and would make Messi's life much more easier.
@@gamingstudio7103 that was the problem, they come in groups with poor communication between them. My dribbling is obnoxious and my friends hate it, so i can kinda tell what favours dribblers like Messi and what doesn't. I always find it easier to dribble against two instead of one defender because both of them expect each other to react and that hesitation and lack of coordination is what Messi preys on the most. Ofc Messi is crazy good in 1v1s as well so it's never about getting the ball off Messi, it's about kiting him away from goal, which again meant leaving Suarez and Neymar unguarded, which Messi exploited a lot in the past but Mbappe and current Neymar are nowhere close to that. I won't say City can stop 2012 Messi from dribbling, but they can surely force Messi into situations where dribbling cannot lead to a goal.

Ruben Dias won the Premier League player of the season award with Manchester City. He is very good. One of the reason City keeps winning Premier League.
this is actually really useful. when you press onto someone like messi, you lose your position, and create some space behind for the opponent to dribble through or either pass. very useful indeed.

Bro this is what I been saying. Some of my old teammates would say “ go towards him don’t push back “ but it’s not that simple sometimes. You need to have some awareness of the surroundings to commit to a tackle first or else they will just find a way to pass you.

Argentina Messi is shit. Just because he had 2 good matches at this world cup doesn t mean he ever played for Argentina how he played for Barcelona. At Barcelona he was worthy to win balon d ors. 2009-2015 Messi was really good, messi argentina was just an average argentinian, no wonder it took him 15 years for that mikey mouse coppa america where the only decent team was Brazil, euros: england france germany italy spain portugal, Coppa America, Brazil, meanwhile brazil 7 1 to germany🤣.
