Leonardo speaks tin as usual.
If you look at Messi’s numbers, his first six months are incredible. –
Messi has 15 games, 6 goals and 5 assists. Measured by his usual performance, endless talent and vampiric content, that is far below average and below expectations. Counter arguments like “Yes, but duel values” or “Lots of pre-assists” or “That has to settle down first” I think maybe still appropriate for an aspiring youth player or shooting star.
But if a sinfully expensive and highly decorated world star shows these statistics after 6 months, then that’s disappointing across the board. The fact that Leonardo labels his achievements as ‘unbelievable’ is almost an absurd joke. Maybe he forgot a word behind ‘unbelievable’.
He and Mbappé were involved in almost all of the club’s goals.
–
That too is a shameless lie. Mbappé and Messi have 41 direct goal participations (goals + assists) together. In total, the entire team has 88 direct goal participations.
So it’s not even 50% of all goal participations in the two. In addition, M’Bappé is more likely to make the roast fat. But he doesn’t even form the best striker duo in the league with Messi, because they come from Strasbourg. Even Di Maria has better statistics than Messi and would be the statistically better strike partner at the moment – at the same time much more efficient with less time on the field.
He is decisive and decisive.-
That may apply to PSG’s media exposure, online click-through rates, and PR growth. It certainly does not apply to athletic performance in all three competitions.
We didn’t bring him in to put on a show every game.-
For me the most surprising, because the most disconcerting statement. The snobby Parisian claqueurs and tourist event fans in particular have flocked to the arena in the past because of Neymar and M’Bappé and have paid any price. Certainly not because all three of this storm trio fight so sacrificially and eat grass.
Anyone who pays horrific entrance fees for these players wants to marvel at a show and watch football on the side. Whether for 90 minutes as a regular player or 15 minutes as a joker.
We are definitely more competitive with him.-
That is certainly the case in theory and on paper. But everything stands and falls with the motivation of the player. Messi hasn’t arrived yet and is rather uncomfortable. This can be clearly seen in his body language, the range of motion and the performance data.
In the league, Paris has a big lead. They weren’t particularly convincing, however, and choked many games just over the stage. PSG have improved their table placement and points, but not purely from goals and conceded goals.
A look at the tables confirms this.
This season:
18 games, 38:16 (+22 goals) and 45 points.
Last season:
18 games, 40:11 (+29 goals) and 36 points.
PSG’s entire squad is much more competitive than last season, and not just because of Messi. With this they would have to trample everything in the ground with the rather weak field of participants. But for some reason they don’t. They have also gradually deteriorated in the coaching bench.
The first impression is pomady and the PSG started the season weaker than everyone expected. What is not, can still be. A valid analysis can only be submitted at the end of the season. But what kind of outrageous nonsense Leonardo utters can no longer be conveyed.
