"That is 1000% correct. I can link to not one but a couple articles. The confirmation / design bias is wild my friend. Thank God you are aware. STATSBOMB released Messi's entire data history. no other player ever has had this treatment. Why All stats essentially are reported as of Messi's pesk (2009/10) so there are massive biases which are built into the stat delivery ptocess (by design it's not innocent) Why do you think Opta dropped "runs" from their "dribbles and runs" formula Have you considered that under a different calibration Messi wouldn't show up on the top lists. ie less marketing"

"PART 2: Every wide 1v1 encounter from Messi fan match comps post-2015 Yes his 1v1 takeon ability was not the best. We need to have an honest discussion of what dribbling ability means. - 1v1 wing takeons - press resistance - small space maneuvering should be analyzed separately and looking purely at dribbling numbers has killed the conversation"

"So much of Messi is underrated. because ppl focus on all the wrong things: - his physical prep is legendary - injury avoidance - courage in face of physical contact/pain - courage and leadership displayed at wc22 - intelligence to subtly adapt his game with age/time - speed of play/execution (think ac milan goal edge of box. never seen anyone do that)"

"What do you mean big club bias I am not sure I follow what we are discussing. If your argument is merely perception - I would tell you that perception depends on who you ask. Ask in the latin / spanish world Deco was highly rated. Ask the Anglosphere then the names of Gerrard and Lampard have more buzz. Zidane's performances never ret-conned anything. He was seen as the best player on the planet up to Euro 2004. Then he was neither the best player on the planet (Dinho was) and a new crop of exciting names as the new gen popped up came to the fore. Zidane's time was XX to XX with more"

"I genuinely don't hate Messi. In fact I like Messi and though I think he's done his part for football the kid in me wants to see more. I go through phases where the narratives by his fans border on being disrespectful to football. whoch triggers me to set the record straight. When he has an assist say in the World Cup and then you get a post saying this is "the greatest assist ever". That's disrespectful to the sport because you are ignoring the wealth and rich history of our sport and minimizing it in favor of fanboyism/shameless hero-worship"

"I don't think I agree. Not playing with the intensity of the Prem keeps him fresh and preserved. We've seen how good he is when his legs are moving but when his body is fatigued it's a bad look"

"@UTDCr1tic I am not saying he is not prem standard btw. He was the top scorer in qualif / NL which is absolutely mad. When his body is fresh he's a top X striker itw. Buy managing his body is critical with the qorld cup looming. Showing up fatigued or injured would be a disaster for him"

"He's the best because he doesn't camp the penalty box and creates his own goals. "But he didnt score" He drops deep. Not his fault his teammates cant finish. "But i thought you said he was the best BECAUSE he drops deep and scores" He's the greatest playmaker don't you understand "But he didn't assist either" Not his fault his teammates can't finish. "So he's not the greatest playmaker since all the others manage to set up their teammates" He won a world cup. Youre a hater"

"@Jjj1971614 @UTDCr1tic The dribbles You mean the world cup where he actually played good in 2022 and was dribbling at only X per game Sounds like Messi dribbling LESS is a good thing not a bad thing 😂😂"

"@Jjj1971614 @UTDCr1tic yes he was getting like XXX touches per game here. you have to judge based on ratio of touches. when you have more touches you have more passes and dribbles obviously mate"

"@PoetGooner Yes but who was more accomplished Like I agree with everything you said. Deco wasnt perceived as the best misfielder in the world. It was an array of views and opinions. As for Zidane after 2004 the next two season were complicated for him"

"@ownsthatfraud @legayushv2 You could do the same study and see the wild vatiability. Even fot messi some of these don't count sometimes. It's two dudes who are in cairo and cheaply paid sadly who sit in front of a screen and judge if it's a dribble or not. It's not gospel"

"That is 1000% correct. I can link to not one but a couple articles. The confirmation / design bias is wild my friend. Thank God you are aware. STATSBOMB released Messi's entire data history. no other player ever has had this treatment. Why All stats essentially are reported as of Messi's pesk (2009/10) so there are massive biases which are built into the stat delivery ptocess (by design it's not innocent) Why do you think Opta dropped "runs" from their "dribbles and runs" formula Have you considered that under a different calibration Messi wouldn't show up on the top lists. ie less marketing"

"PART 2: Every wide 1v1 encounter from Messi fan match comps post-2015 Yes his 1v1 takeon ability was not the best. We need to have an honest discussion of what dribbling ability means. - 1v1 wing takeons - press resistance - small space maneuvering should be analyzed separately and looking purely at dribbling numbers has killed the conversation"

"So much of Messi is underrated. because ppl focus on all the wrong things: - his physical prep is legendary - injury avoidance - courage in face of physical contact/pain - courage and leadership displayed at wc22 - intelligence to subtly adapt his game with age/time - speed of play/execution (think ac milan goal edge of box. never seen anyone do that)"

"What do you mean big club bias I am not sure I follow what we are discussing. If your argument is merely perception - I would tell you that perception depends on who you ask. Ask in the latin / spanish world Deco was highly rated. Ask the Anglosphere then the names of Gerrard and Lampard have more buzz. Zidane's performances never ret-conned anything. He was seen as the best player on the planet up to Euro 2004. Then he was neither the best player on the planet (Dinho was) and a new crop of exciting names as the new gen popped up came to the fore. Zidane's time was XX to XX with more"

"@Alex123ESPWaves @sv3rigeFan not just as. completely internally inconsistent. apparently messi skipping the ball literally backward in open space is a dribble it's really spectacular interpretation"

"I genuinely don't hate Messi. In fact I like Messi and though I think he's done his part for football the kid in me wants to see more. I go through phases where the narratives by his fans border on being disrespectful to football. whoch triggers me to set the record straight. When he has an assist say in the World Cup and then you get a post saying this is "the greatest assist ever". That's disrespectful to the sport because you are ignoring the wealth and rich history of our sport and minimizing it in favor of fanboyism/shameless hero-worship"
