No, it doesn't. I've played football my whole life, I used to watch it a lot more when I was younger and even spent much time reading in-depth tactical blogs and some coaching stuff. I've tried so many times to have a somewhat substantial discussion with you but if anyone delivers you an argument that even requires a slight understanding of football you back out and counter with an argument like "oh wow the Messi brigade boys hyping up dribbles so much again. If that's so important why has Ronaldo scored more in the KO stages of the CL?"
It's plain and simple, as soon as there's a debate that regards more complex concepts of the sports, like how dribblings and intelligent/progressive passes create space, superiority or retain possession, you can't participate any longer and try to ridicule the argument with romanticism or small mindedness or whatever.
See, in many TV broadcasts there are always these kind of situations when an attack is taking place and some smart ass director thinks that a close-up of the player is a spectacular view and thus the right thing to do. You immediately see which people know football because those that do are annoyed af because they can't see the other players' movements and thus can't know what's about to happen next. If the player made a mistake by not playing, if he should've searched the 1 on 1, if should've shot and so forth.
Those who don't have a clue are okay with it because they simply don't pay attention to those things. I'm completely sure in which camp you belong. You confirmed so often that you don't understand the importance of dribbles and passes unleass they immediately lead to a goal. Heck you didn't even acknowledge Messi's run before the 2:0. You don't even understand that this goal wouldn't have happened without him causing complete chaos since four Liverpool players tightly around him couldn't take the ball away from him in a controlled manner. And this was one of his unimpressive dribbles in that match, it could've easily happened even earlier or after one of his defense splitting passes (which are often only possible because he created the space and the lane necessary for this pass through dribbling past 2-3 players beforehand). As I said, nothing you post implies that you recognize and understand these things, so why on earth should I think that you have even the slightest clue?
What you don't understand is that for people who actually know the sport the things that happen before the goal are often if not to say usually more impressive than the goal itself. And this is because breaking defenses is the most difficult aspect of playing football and more often than not the one that scores the goal is only perfecting what was already a series of 3-4 great plays before that.
No you don't. You just come up with this as some strange "revenge" thing, just like you always do when you don't like someone's argument.
And no, football can't be quantified, especially not things like interdependencies between playing styles, day form and so forth. At least not yet. That is at least if you haven't developed a statistical model for that purpose which functions better than all the most advanced comparable tools (xG, packing rate and all this stuff that usually has Messi up front by the way, but probably they are also simply a part of the Messi brigade). In this case, I'd recommend you found a company for that, pretty sure you can make a fortune with that
