For the past decade and a half, these coaches have ruled the world of football. And it was at this moment that Lionel Messi, the magician, appeared. As a result, every top-level coach has had to devise a strategy to stop Messi at some point. Every coach has frowned on his brow at some point in the last decade and a half.Going through the motions. Some tactics to stop Messi have worked, but the majority have not. Take, for example, Jose Mourinho. He was able to successfully implement the strategy of stopping Messi when he was the coach of Inter Milan. Messi walked out with a handful, exactly as he wanted to do when he first arrived at Real.
Messi is the same way. Always raise yourself to the point where you can't keep him bottled most of the time. He was born with a short stature. Even then, the coaches must devise a strategy to keep Messi awake at night, hoping for success. Carlo Ancelotti, another former Real Madrid coach, devised a plan to stop Messi. Was a huge success.
What is this plan, exactly? That has finally been unveiled by the veteran Italian coach, who is currently in charge of Everton. His plan isn't overly complex. No such thing as a football theory exists.Only psychology exists. "When I was at Real Madrid, I had to face Barcelona and Lionel Messi many times," he said, "and I just made sure that Ronaldo and his teammates weren't too afraid to think about him before the match against him."He was one of my most formidable opponents. So I used to avoid discussing Messi with the players before a game. They'd have been terrified.'
Messi, according to Carlo Ancelotti, was just like ten other players. ‘I would not just talk about Messi, I would talk to them about other things,' he would say, at least in front of his own players. Everyone knows who all the players are and who has what kind of skill set. As a result, I made certain that our players were capable of doing their jobs properly.'
"I'm happy because it worked for me," the Italian coach says of Ancelotti's approach. You must demonstrate your worth and skill in such a match. You should not consider limiting others' abilities. It will not come and go if you can play your game correctly, regardless of what the opponent does.
Ancelotti joined Real Madrid as a coach in 2013 after leaving PSG. This was the case until 2015. Under this Ancelotti, Real's most endearing "La Desima" was born. Real did not lose to Barcelona on a regular basis during those two years; in fact, in Ancelotti's first season, Real lost two league matches to Barcelona.In the following two seasons, they were defeated twice by Barcelona. Messi failed to score in both games. Perhaps Ancelotti's plan paid off in those two games!
