"Hey, pig." This one phrase changed soccer history.

'Carton Sport' reported on the 15th (Korea time) that "Luis Suarez revealed the secret of the birth of MSN".

"MSN" is the first letters of the names of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar, the attacking combination they called when they were together at FC Barcelona.

Messi, Suarez, and Neymar were responsible for Barcelona's firepower for nearly three seasons, starting in 2014-2015 before Neymar left for PSG.

In those three seasons, the trio were at the height of their powers, winning nine trophies, including one UEFA Champions League and two league titles. The trio shook up European soccer with their outstanding individual skills and fantastic chemistry.
Their destructive power is often mentioned when discussing the best attacking combinations in soccer history and is still talked about by fans who are nostalgic for Barcelona's golden era.

According to media reports, Suarez, who recently parted ways with his former teammate Gremio, has revealed the secret behind the formation.

According to Suarez, Luis Enrique, Barcelona's coach at the time, wanted Messi to play in the center as a "fake number nine," with Suarez and Neymar tasked with attacking from the flanks. 카지노사이트777 

However, Messi didn't think this tactic was very effective. Messi reportedly suggested that he move to the right flank and that Suarez play in the center in his place.

"It was a UEFA Champions League game against AFC Ajax," Suarez recalls. Enrique asked Messi to play in the center. It was a role he was used to and both me and Neymar could play on the flanks," Suarez explained.

But the 'God of Football' had other ideas. "He realized that this tactic wasn't working," Suarez says. "He called me over and said, 'Oh, mon gros, reste en 9 et je t'ouvrirai le terrain sur le côté droit' (Oh, mon gros, reste in 9 and I'll give you space on the right)." This was the beginning of MSN. This is the beginning of MSN."

After what seemed like an eternity, all three players left Barcelona. Neymar moved to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017, Suarez headed to Atletico Madrid in 2020, and Messi said a tearful goodbye to Barcelona in 2021.
