Ronaldo run double over Messi
Ronaldo run double over Messi
Lionel Messi is the player who runs at least all the players of the Spanish teams in the Champions League this season, he scored in. "Make". The big rival Messi for Ballon d'Or Cristiano Ronaldo run double from Argentine in the tournament - after 7 games (6 groups plus an eighth-finals) Ronaldo has run a little over 64 kilometers, 47th in clocking the highest mileage in the tournament.
Messi is far behind with only 31.62 kilometers. The Argentine has played only 4 games out of the race, which still makes less than 8 kilometers per match, and is far from the Portuguese who runs more than nine kilometers each meeting. Far away from the other members of the atomic trio of Barcelona. The most flexible of them is Neymar with 59.66 km in 6 games, and Luis Suarez is 57.7 km in 6 games. Before the Brazilian did just Ivan Rakitic, which in turn has covered 61.3 kilometers in seven meetings.
One of the keys to the success of Barcelona in recent years is the rapid movement of the ball away from the goal. At the trademark "blue-red" became good positioning of team players, almost sinless passes and above all the speed with which the ball passed from player to player. And so it is normal stars team does not run as much as they ran, if you play in another team.
Messi is the brightest example that scoring goals (5 goals in 4 games, with 11 and 8 accurate swipe) and improved records without too much to be tired. We have a match against Arsenal this week for example. The two attacks that decided the match, Argentina spent the entire match at the walk or so it seemed. The statistics to earn UEFA after every game to prove it. In this season's Champions League player Messi is the player that covers the smallest distance after defender Naldo from Wolfsburg.
The Argentine is not enough even to eight kilometers in an average game but have not been and needed more. Messi is a walking genius to understand how it works on the field, we have to listen to one another legend - Johan Cruyff. He is the creator of this type of game, one of the fathers of total football, and the current style of Barca. "All the coaches talk about the movement that should be running a lot. I say that you do not need to run so much. Football is a game that plays with your mind. You have to be in the right place at the right time, not earlier, not later "explains Dutchman.
Cruyff's philosophy, which was later developed by Rijkaard and Guardiola, and now from Luis Enrique, has always been held in this to possess the ball, passing it quickly with one touch to quickly, and without exercise. "I want players to be able to make decisive moves a little space to run as little as possible to save energy for these decisive attack," added Cruyff. And his titles show that does not speak empty words. His and those of Messi, who is 5 times winner of the Golden Ball. No one would be able to win them firmly without running if the game team and individual style teammates are not adequate and did not fit.
"Neither team run as little as Barcelona. The ball is always in them. They set the tempo of the game and decide which part of the pitch will play. There is only one ball and who owns it, he decided," says the great Johann. One of the reasons why Messi is capable of playing in almost every game this season, that has learned to listen to your body and perfectly dosed efforts. Argentine read games like no other and often change positions, as well for the team. And it does not need to run much. But Messi is the one who can always be relied on in the important moments. This week decided knockout round with two goals against Arsenal. Club World Cup title brought.
Otherwise, the team respect Real Madrid also runs more than Barcelona, but not by much. The players of Royal Club ran a total of 749.09 km and Barcelona - 747.62 km. Both, however, remain far from undisputed leader who is Atletico Madrid with 789.87 kilometers.
