Did BERBATOV really invent the FALSE 9?

He said something. The edge of the area where most defender don’t defend. He’s right defender always run blocking their keeper view instead of engaging at the edge of the area. Good attacker stay behind them to get better chances

They don't make them like this no more 🥲

Romario did

Yes. Pep may have adopted the role from watching Berba, and the shape of the team playing and tweaked it with his Barca team deploying Messi in that role.

He was to good bruh.

Oh yeah, man was crazy fr

No, it was Guardiola who invented it, and Lionel Messi was the first player to play as a false 9

This guy was really good.. one of the names I knew in football as a kid.

Proper one bruh!

Papilo started it . 👌👌👌
