October 26th. Inter Miami played the first game of this year's playoffs. Under the leadership of Messi, who averaged 2 goals, MVP, and more ratings than anyone in the same period, they got off to a good start and defeated Nashville 3-1. Messi's first goal was a header, and the second was a grab in front of the goal. Although Messi didn't assist, he still had the chance to kill, and it was a very important penultimate pass.

The penultimate player Messi passed to was Ian Frey. They had interacted with each other a while ago, just after Messi scored with a header. At that time, after Messi celebrated, he pulled Ian Foley to open a small stove, whispered to him, and gave him face-to-face instructions. In the second half, Ian Frey finally finished digesting it, and Messi also fed the assist to his mouth, so he had to accept the gift.

This is Messi's golf quotient and team leadership ability. Following the ball king, the goal is to increase quickly. For example, in the 2022 World Cup, Argentina's most important goal-Messi's goal against Mexico. Before this goal appeared, Messi had already discussed the tactics with Di Maria, and he had already seen through everything. It was also the World Cup, this time in the semi-finals. Messi passed the world's number one defender three times in one round. Before sending the ball from the sideline, Messi also pointed out the passing position to his teammates.

What is unique about Messi is that he is not only able to discern the ever-changing situation of the game, but he can also translate this insight into simple instructions that his teammates can understand. When other super giants lack vision at this level or Messi's scoring ability, they rely heavily on the system, but Messi is different. Messi is good at and likes to cultivate his teammates and sublimates his personal abilities into team combat effectiveness. This "player-coach" role makes his value far beyond the data of goals and assists.

Under Messi's words and deeds, young players like Frey were able to grow rapidly in the highest-pressure playoffs. This is not a macro deployment on the coaching bench, but real-time fine-tuning on the field - how to move, when to cross, and how to choose passing routes. The polishing of these details is the key difference between ordinary players and champion players. Frey will never reach Messi's passing level in his life, but being given such a pointer will benefit him for life.
