A king without a kingdom. Why Neymar will leave Barca
A king without a kingdom. Why Neymar will leave Barca
Over the last few months watching Barcelona play a magnifying glass and I can not help feeling that something was wrong. The mechanism works well, victories follow one after the other, except for the "Clasico". In previous positions have a great trio. Figaro here, Figaro there ... But there is a sense that it could even better.
Suddenly I realized what the problem is. Just thought of autumn matches. Look at the statistics. The problem for Barca is not in the game, and the players. In Leo Messi. No, it is exactly as you understand. The problem is that the game of the best team in the world is built on the best player on the team.
For this, of course, is not to blame anyone. Luis Enrique is not - a coach who is able to fit into the team with three superstars. It's all about the strongest player on the planet in the last seven years. The football world used to it, his teammates too. This is a problem for Messi himself. The situation somewhat resembles a famous cartoon from the early 20th century "Great and dwarf." A long time Messi surpasses all players, but can not achieve great success in Argentina (two lost finals) because Aguero, Cleric and others. inconclusive.
When the room has two men listening is one of them. It's the same in football. Neymar chose Barca - Messi fiefdom. This choice was correct: by the romanticism of Brazilian football, he added Argentine efficiency. But now he has become a hostage of his own decision. In Barcelona all play for Messi, even Leo has one foot on the pitch.
And that is a problem for Neymar. And no one would notice him if autumn Argentine had not been injured for two months. In these Neymar outgrew his role of second fiddle. The scale of the game made him a while to get out of the shadow of Messi. This means that the road to football glory for it is far from "Camp Nou". That's what Zinezin Zidane left the realm of Alessandro Del Piero at Juventus.
No, Messi remains one of the best in the world. But lost the championship in your own yard. Less is Neymar and statistically and visually.
As shown, Neymar is better than Messi in most key moments in the attacks of the game. The Argentine is good at passing, but the difference in this aspect is not critical. Neymar, however, forcing rivals to fouled twice and was much better in landed, proving that the role of playmaker Messi for genius is somewhat exaggerated.
This table does not take other aspects. For example, that Neymar is much more useful in defense. There are 60% against 47.6% challenges won and three times interrupted the attacks of the enemy. But the most important thing is that Messi surpasses in efficiency and imported Brazilian magic.
And this is the reason that Neymar should leave Barcelona. It shows great football is better than Messi in almost every aspect, but rarely gets the chance to end the attacks. And all this because the Catalans are used to playing through Messi. The scale of influence of Leo has a critical effect on the Brazilian. But the role of second fiddle, Neymar present highly in most indicators. And in the role of leader, ahead of Messi. This shows a showgirl.
When Messi was injured in the fall of Barca attacks are brought mainly left. And Barca showed great football, Neymar proved to be a true leader, but with the return of Messi, attacks were again displaced basically right. This certainly harms the game of the team and makes it much more predictable.
For Neymar leadership role is important. It is the kind of player who showed his best game when leading others. No wonder he has 50 goals for Brazil in 24 years. The official recognition of the best player on the planet's Golden Ball. Currently it is unrealistic to win if you do not score 50 goals for the season. For sooner or later, Neymar will leave Barcelona to go to another top club. Otherwise it will always be in the shadow of Messi when he was on the pitch. Even Argentina is at the end of THREES. Even if you go out on the field with one leg. As no two leaders of a tribe, so the Brazilian could not reign where is crowned Argentine.
