Zidane’s chronic headache .. How can Messi be stopped?

With the approaching World Ball Clasico date between Barcelona and Real Madrid, pressure is mounting on Royal Club coach Zinedine Zidane, who is demanding to find the appropriate plan to limit the move of Argentine star Lionel Messi.

Messi celebrated the best way by crowning the Golden Ball award granted by France Football magazine for the sixth time in its history, and scored a triple that led the Catalan club to victory over Mallorca 5-2 and adhered to the top of the Spanish league with a goal difference from the rivals Real Madrid.

Messi and raised his score to 12 goals in the top scorer in the Spanish league, in a warning message to Real Madrid before facing El Clásico, which may be crucial in the crowning title.

With the continued glow of the Argentine star, French coach Zinedine Zidane is seeking to develop the appropriate plan to reduce the severity of Messi.

According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Zidane is choosing between three options for adopting it in the confrontation that will be hosted by Camp Nou a week later.

The newspaper pointed out that Zidane may resort to strengthening the defensive tasks of the Casemiro and Valverde duo in order not to give the chance to Messi's breakthroughs, while relying on the duo of the three crosses, Modric and Isco in order to support the attack duo in the 4-4-2 plan.

She noted that the other option is to adopt Zidan's favorite 4-3-3 plan with a recommendation to reduce the spaces between the defense and the middle lines.

Zidane believes that the other option is to assign Uruguayan Valverde to individual control of Messi, but this option proved to be futile on previous occasions, the last of which was in the El Clasico, which was hosted by the Bernabeu Stadium in December 2017 when the Royal Club lost 3-0 despite the commissioning of Croatian Kovacic. Messi individual control.

Zidane is betting on continuing the positive results and maintaining the upward pattern in the team's performance by facing Bruges in the Champions League and Valencia in the local league in order to reach the El Clasico in the best conditions.
