Messi promotes eFootball

Today, eFootball released their official reveal trailer for their new game, succeeding Pro Evolution Soccer. The game will be free and will run under a new engine called 'Unreal Engine 4'. It will no longer launch a new game every year, but rather make a new free update every new season.

In the trailer, he says (translated to English):

'I am always determined to win no matter who we are up against. I like winning, and to do that it's vital that I maintain my concentration at a high level in every game.'

There's also footage of Messi's graphics in-game

They've also released their roadmap, and what the game will offer.

That is all for today, so I hope you liked this entry and I'll see you in the next blog.

Messi bingo

In football terms, a 'bingo' would be the minutes in which a player has scored. When it comes to Messi and his 748 goals, he is no stranger to this phenomenon and has scored in nearly every minute except the 1st and 2nd (he's also scored in extra time).

This can be found in the MessiStats website as messi.starplayerstats.com/en/bingo.

It can also be filtered by season, team, ground he played, and competition. Here are some examples:

Argentina

2020/21 season for club and country

It is quite an interesting stat to look at, and there is much more to look at thanks to those filters. That is all for today, so I hope you liked this entry and I'll see you in the next blog.

Messi in June: Good performances with the national team

With another month gone, it's time to review Messi's performance in it. After ending the 2020/21 season with Barcelona, Messi has played his first games with Argentina this year starting at the World Cup qualifiers and then the current Copa America tournament.

He played 6 games, scored 4 goals, and gave 2 assists. Other stats include: 17 SoT (27 in total), 30 dribbles, 2 big chances created, 15 key passes, 59/94 duels won, 20 fouls won, 8 tackles, 2 interceptions, 17 recoveries, and 461 touches. Amazing stats.

These were his best moments in June:

If you want to see my entries game by game, here they are: Chile (qualifiers), Colombia, Chile (Copa America), Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia.

The goal for next month is to win the Copa America once and for all, after close calls in previous tournaments. There is a realistic chance of reaching the final, but we have to work step by step. Hopefully, the dream finally comes true for Messi and Argentina. That is all for today, so as always I hope you liked this entry and I'll see you in the next blog.
