The 10 Times Lionel Messi Utterly Embarrassed A Great Player 3
9. David Silva gets nutmegged, tries to act cool.
David Silva is really good at passing the ball. A lot of people would say that he’s the best in the world at it on his day. The thing is, being the best in the world at passing the ball usually doesn’t make you very good at taking the ball from someone else; the mentality needed just doesn’t cross over.
Someone should call Freud, because I think I’m onto something here.
You can tell how much that nutmeg truly messed with Silva by the way he casually keeps on moving afterwords…right into his teammate.
Silva’s passing is predicated on him knowing where his teammates are at all times, but after that nutmeg the only thing going through his mind is a red burning river of embarrassment.
