New tactic to stop flick ball and yamal.

Love to see it, that's what tebas has brought la Liga to, can't sign players no worries, let the grounds man do the work for you.

When he attempts through passes that could potentially get intercepted by defenders inside the box, he should just keep running along the path of the pass. Those passes are hard for defenders to control and he will more often than not end up stealing the ball from them. There were a few of those potential situations vs Levante.

Speaking of Messi, he was a master at that. It almost becomes like a one two with the defender.

The amount of times Messi played a 'one two with the defender' as in the ball coming back to him off the opponent was madness, something I haven't seen from any other player. Maybe Suarez came closest with that.

It happened so often for Messi that it was clearly a skill, not luck.

What I don't like about his style of play is that it is predictable. Going inside every time to shoot, pass or cross. Still hard to contain, but I get the feeling opponents are starting to adjust to it.

Some said same thing about Messi before (no trick, predictable...).

"Even Messi lost the ball often" is argument on primary school level.

Hey, Lamine scores bangers. So what, Christensen scored one a month ago too.

Noone is disputing his qualities but let's call it like it is. Calling out particular mistakes does not take away from his obvious qualities.

Nobody denies Yamal loses the ball - the point is why. High-risk players always do, because they’re the ones constantly trying to break defenses. Messi was also sometimes criticized and had an enormous number of lost balls, yet it was precisely those risks that made him decisive. Using Messi as an example isn’t “primary school,” it’s literally the most relevant comparison- he also lost possession a lot because he was constantly trying to create.

Comparing that to Christensen randomly scoring a goal is a false equivalence - Yamal’s turnovers come directly from his role on the pitch. If you want a player who never loses the ball, you tell him to play sideways passes all match. If you want someone who changes games, you accept some mistakes as part of the deal.
Also, calling someone out for having a "primary school argument" because of your own inability to comprehend it is itself childish - or as you say it - primary school. Do better.

Yeah Lamal will keep losing the ball here and there and sometimes it will lead into goals against Barca. But more often than not those actions will result us getting into scoring chances.
