| Goatseye said: You're talking like every La Liga team plays the same which is innacurate. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico and Sevilla barely have anything in common. Latin teams play on players body and at the limit of agression at times. You're talking atleticism instead of agression and I'm glad you brought Chelsea up, because their style of play was influenced by Portuguese small teams when playing against bigger ones, "Park the bus" is a Portuguese term Mourinho brought with him. And for the longest, Chelsea was considered the most defensive team in England. Messi has played your teams countless times, I'm pretty sure his balance is more of a positive than negative. He doesn't need to go to a different team to prove what he already is. And Messi's pace and endurance are nothing to be snuffed about, he does what it does from 0-90' real quick. Also, Ronaldo didn't go from Manchester United to Southampton, he went to another colossus. That's a flawed assumption brought up just to diminish Messi's feats. |
Messi has played Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd a few times, he has never dealt with the full brunt of close to 70 games in the EPL that comparison is nowhere close to even being in the same ball park. Park the bus is a just another term for a tactic that has been around before Mourinho arrived, lower league teams have been doing it for decades it was only notable with Mourinho because he actually applied well thought strategies with it however it was disliked because before Mourinho Chelsea were actually one of the more attack orientated teams.
What are you talking about Ronaldo to Southampton? Are you half asleep dude? Ronaldo wasn't even mentioned in the post.
