Why didn t Messi dare to take the penalty, was it because of his inner timidity?

Messi did not dare to take penalties, but his penalty success rate was not high, which had something to do with his relatively soft character.

Penalties are Messi's weakness, and for a professional player, standing in front of a 12-yard point and kicking the ball into the net is undoubtedly the easiest way to score. But because of the simplicity, in the official game, once the penalty is reached, the psychological pressure of the players will increase sharply, and if they fail to adjust their mentality in time, it is common to miss the penalty kick.

As one of the rulers of today's football, Messi's comprehensive strength is outstanding, and the simplest penalty has become one of his shortcomings, so far Messi's penalty success rate is less than 78%, which is indeed inconsistent with Messi's strength. There are two main reasons for Messi's penalty difference, first of all, his personality, and secondly, the psychological shadow brought to him by past experiences.

Why Messi's penalty is so badAs the core player of the two teams of Argentina and Barcelona, Messi is the team's well-deserved first penalty taker. Although penalties are not his strong point, he can always stand up and take responsibility whenever a penalty kicks come up, never evading it, and never daring to take penalties.

Messi's poor penalty kick is directly related to his character. He has an introverted personality, although his strength is outstanding, but he does not show any other's flamboyance and domineering, this soft personality may make Messi's psychological tolerance relatively poor, and it is difficult to adjust his mentality to the best state when playing penalty kicks.

Secondly, Messi had lost the title in two Copa America finals because he missed penalties, and these two painful experiences made him have a psychological shadow on the penalty kicksEvery time he stands in front of 12 yards, he has to overcome more psychological pressure, and the more critical the game, the more difficult it is to adjust, which is also an important reason for Messi's low penalty success rate. Mentality and technique are just as important in the arena, and Messi's mentality may have prevented him from becoming a greater player.

In this season's Champions League game against Napoli, Barcelona captain Messi did not take a penalty, but we must see that Messi has received a team doctor after making a penalty.

It can't be said that Messi didn't dare to take the penalty. In both Argentina and Barcelona, Messi is the absolute core and spiritual leader of the team, and Messi will always step up whenever needed.

Maybe Messi's mental attributes were criticized when he took a penalty, but Messi didn't refuse to take a penalty most of the time.

Not cowardice, it's because he rarely has this kind of ball, and taking penalties on the field is not what he's good at.

Probably not, probably because he is not very good at this, or else he did it.

It's not uncommon to miss a penalty on the football field, Messi didn't score a penalty, it's a pity, you make the fans who like him feel incredible, but that's football. Fortunately, they defeated Poland 2-0 and successfully qualified from the group and entered the knockout rounds.

In fact, in the history of the World Cup, there are many such regrettable mistakes. The most painful thing for me is that in the 1994 World Cup, the Italian team and the Brazilian team had a strong matchup, 120 minutes to 0-0, and finally entered the penalty shootout, Baggio before the penalty, Italy was 2-3 behind, only Baggio scored this penalty, Italy had the hope of winning, but this penalty, Baggio missed. Baggio stood there stunned, reluctant to leave for a long time, and Baggio's back has become the most classic picture of the World Cup.

His mistake has also been called one of the top 10 incredible mistakes of the World Cup.

I think this picture has also become an indelible memory in the minds of many people. When I saw Baggio's back, I was in tears.

In addition, in the 2010 World Cup match between Nigeria and South Korea, Yakubu did not score, which is also very regrettable. He was standing three yards in front of the goal, and bizarrely deflected the ball wide of the empty goal. It's also puzzling.

Messi misses the penalty. Messi set a disgraceful record on his final World Cup stage. Messi is only the second player in history to miss a penalty in the final stage of a match after the 1996 World Cup in England, where the match record was tallied.

In the final match of Group C of the Qatar World Cup group stage against Poland at the stadium in Doha, Qatar, Messi set an inglorious record by taking three penalties and missing two chances in the final.

Also in the first match of Group D of the 2018 World Cup in Russia against Iceland, Messi also missed a penalty.

According to Sporting Europe, Messi has missed a total of 31 penalties in his football career.

In the World Cup, the player who missed two penalty kicks with Messi was striker Asamoa Gyan, who played for the Ghana national team.

He had four penalty chances, half of them were missed.

In the 2006 World Cup group stage match against the Czech Republic in Germany, Asamoa Gyan missed his first penalty kick and again four years later, resulting in Ghana's elimination.

In addition, Messi surpassed the "legend" Diego Maradona to become the player with the most appearances in the final stage of any Argentine player of all years.

After the match with Poland, Messi played a total of 22 matches in 4 World Cups. Maradona played a total of 21 matches.

According to Sports**ESPN, this is the 4th place in history. At the top of the list is German football legend Mateus, with a total of 25 matches played.

If Messi can make it past the round of 16 and the round of eight to reach the last four, he will surpass Mateus in the final or in the battle for the place and set a new record.

Opta also said that Messi also became the oldest player to make more than five key passes and dribble breakthroughs in the final stage.

Based on the time of the match against Poland, Messi's age is 35 years and 159 days. The previous record was set by Maradona at the age of 34 at the 1994 World Cup in the United States against Nigeria.

I stayed up late every day to watch the registration competition, and the scene that touched me the most was definitely 1 4, and the big Martin who was the second in the final. If it's a penalty shoot-out, I know Martin is a god.

In the World Cup 1 4 finals, Argentina defeated the Netherlands on penalties and advanced to the semifinals. Argentina, which originally led by two goals, conceded two goals in a row before the end of the game and was dragged to a penalty shootout by the Netherlands. Returns to some of the details from this penalty shootout.

Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez saved the Netherlands' first two penalties to make a big difference for Argentina to advance. After saving the second penalty, the usually flamboyant Martin danced at the Dutch fans in the stands. But when it came time for Lautaro to take the penalty, Big Martin had a different look.

If Lautaro had scored the goal, Argentina would have won the penalty shoot-out, and the nervous Martin turned his head to look at Lautaro's penalty. And after Lautaro scored the ball and the Argentine players in the stands erupted in cheers, Martín fell to the ground with his face covered, excited. The Argentine players who were waiting on the halfway line rushed over at this time, and because the Dutch players had been interfering in the penalty shootout, Otamendi and others were still running towards Lautaro while taunting the Dutch players with their body movements.

When everyone pounced on Lautaro, who had taken the penalty kick, only one man ran towards Big Martin - captain Messi.

Midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who has performed well in this World Cup, missed a penalty in this penalty shoot-out. As everyone gathered around Lautaro to celebrate, Enzo, who had a lingering heart, folded his hands in the direction of the stands and apologized to the Argentine fans.

In the crowd of celebrations, there is also a familiar figure - Aguero. Aguero had to retire early due to heart problems, and he came to Qatar as a guest commentator at the World Cup, where he also entered the stadium after the game to celebrate the victory with the Argentine team. The thrill of the penalty shootout goes without saying, and Aguero confirmed this when he replied to fans on social media, "My doctor has sent me messages several times, you can think about it.

And when there was a conflict between Messi and Weghorst, Aguero did not forget to come forward to "settle the matter": "He (Weghorst) said to Messi, 'You come here'. I came to him and said, 'That's it, you know everybody's in the mood right now, what else are you going to say?' Shut up.

He told me not to shut up with him, I told him not to talk to Messi. ”

Personally, I think that in the history of this World Cup, what I regret should be Messi's penalty! I feel like Messi can lead Argentina to the Hercules Cup.

Argentina has two major advantages this year:

1.Highly cohesive and collaborative. In the past, Argentina always gave people a feeling of instability and ups and downs in their fighting power, but now this Argentine team has given people a new feeling. The only two teams that have not lost a match.

2.Messi is now in perfect condition and technically perfect. He has gone from being a scorer to a playmaker. In Paris, he can often be seen assisting Neymar and Mbappe to score. Do you think Messi is more threatening from a goalscorer to helping the team score?

In fact, Argentina was a little impatient in the first game, and the team's proudest front court did not play as well as it should, and the team did not complete the adjustment in time after consecutive goals were blown offside. In attack, Argentina's handling of the last kick is mostly debatable, and if it can be more rational, the outcome may be different.

Argentina's biggest weakness, of course, is that it relies too much on Messi. Dybala and Lautaro Gadi Maria were picturesque up front, but there were too many sappers in the midfield.

Argentina today still hasn't gotten rid of the Ferrari front tractor setup. Referring to Neymar's injury in 2014 and Brazil's heavy defeat to Germany, football is a team sport, and if you rely too much on one individual, the risk is greatly increased.
