However, note that Herve Renard, who was Saudi Arabia’s coach during their 2022 World Cup campaign, spoke about how Lionel Messi influences the game. In a recent interview, Herve Renard advised France to stop Lionel Messi from holding the ball very close to the goalpost.

In this recent interview, Saudi Arabia coach Herve Renard said, “To stop Messi, you have to put pressure on his most important link, De Paul. You must keep Messi 35-40 meters away from the goal and prevent him from holding the ball comfortably. France did it with Matuidi in 2018. Now he can do it with Rabiot and Tchouameni too.”
