@MbabuFUT When you play with or against someone with stupidly high footballing IQ, pitch and spatial awareness etc, they slip away far too easily. You can’t play the whole game with eyes on him, as soon as you get sucked into watching the ball, he’s gone. You see it a few times tonight
Players and managers have been trying this for decades.
No one has ever succeeded. Because it is impossible. Messi will outsmart any player that tries to mark him.
Closest I’ve ever seen to someone succeeding was Ji Sung Park.
Literally just mark Messi? Hes very smart but he physically can't run away from you without the ball, just tell someone to follow him around all game long and ignore every other action? Can't be that hard
🚨 Kylian Mbappé: "My thoughts on hydration breaks? Don't ask us players for our opinion, we're very reactionary.
If tomorrow we're dominating at the 25th minute, and there's a hydration break, we'll be angry, because it breaks our rhythm, but if the weather is hot, or we're being dominated, I'll be happy."
@Muppetiers When a defender is behind a keeper, they effectively become the keeper and the keeper becomes a defender. It’s all about who the last man is rather than what position the last man plays in
