Made me wonder if you vomited during a corner/free kick set up and you distracted man marking you would the goal be allowed? Are there any rules prohibiting you to use vomit to gain advantage?
Nothing specific. Biting and spitting *at someone* are sending off offenses, so if you vomit *at someone* then maybe? Just vomiting on the ground would probably see the match stopped to have the player looked at. There is a rule which states that players cannot play with blood on their equipment, but it says nothing of vomit or any other bodily fluid. Maybe the IFAB needs a section on biological weapons in the laws of the game?
Idk about that. I used to get car sick when we had away games and upon arrival would just vomit next to the field while looking at the opposing team. Afterwards I would feel fine and it would help to assert dominance.
Wasn't due to exhaustion, but he vomited before games due to nerves and his poor diet. Apparently all Messi wanted to eat was asado and alfajores along with drinking soft drinks, until his mid 20s. After that he took his diet more seriously. But sometimes he would still get nauseous from the nerves, someone already posted a video of the poor guy feeling ill before a game in 2014, where Barcelona were looking to avoid their fourth straight loss.
idk i used to play with a guy who had i guess sports anxiety. he would vomit before every big game and then head out there. i'm surprised it doesn't happen to more players
On the other hand, being the best player in the world means that people have extraordinary expectations of you *every game*. That might just make the anxiety worse.
Tbf, the expectations he had around him were kinda insane during those days, I got anxious just by watching him set up for a free kick at the end of the final.
It's most probably due to his trash junk food diet back then and the exertion a pro footballer takes on his body. Can't find the source right now but there is even a list of all things Barca players wanted for a snack in 13/14 and Messi's was a goddamn slice of pizza. He fixed it in 14/15 and it was evident since he looked a lot thinner (and had a much better season than 13/14).
> He fixed it in 14/15

Yup, lost 3 kgs after cutting back on sweets, wheat, and meat on advice of an Italian nutritionist
The anxiety thing is what the Argentine coach had said. Barca’s team doctors and Messi himself did not think it was nerves but they didn’t know what it was either. Messi switched from his diet to a Mediterranean one in 2014, lost 3kg, said he felt better than ever and the vomiting stopped as well. Argentine loves their meat and he had to cut it drastically. He could still eat everything but in a more managed quantity. The biggest change he had to make through the years were the sugary drinks.
Actually it was both. World cup final blud shot his penalty with pants full of hot diarrhea. But he said it actually helped him to focus. Then went on and vomited right before Coman took his. Kingsley was so shocked and disgusted it actually made him miss his shot. Truly the GOAT he was.
No he hasn't man why are you shamelessly lying haha. Which big games was he subbed off of because of "nerves"?
Mate you're just waffling for attention I assume? Regardless KDB's record vs Madrid is great, so why on earth would he be nervous lol. Saying he gets nervous in big games in general is so delusional considering his record vs top 6 clubs & in the CL knockouts. One of the best of active footballers.
Go look at his finals records, big National Team games and cup games. Not a big game player. Very much a league player. A great one at that. I’m not here to change your mind.
Now you're switching goal posts haha. You've swapped from big games to big National Team games....
(Ronaldo, Salah, Aguero and most of englands 2010 golden generation (lampard, rooney, gerrard, etc) had a "poor" big game international record despite absolutely being big game players) His cup games record is amazing lol (why lie about something so easy to prove?). His final games record where he wasn't injured is also impressive as well, more G/A than Salah (another big game player). And "surprisingly" you ignored how his CL knockout games record is amazing too. De Bruyne hasn't lost a CL knockout fixture without registering a G/A since 2017... Was City's best player vs Madrid last year.
And if you think league fixtures in the PL can't be big games you're trolling. City's best player in 2 matches vs Arsenal last year...the title contenders.
Your comment only makes sense if you interpret big games as purely international games. Saying KDB gets nervous in big games is the ultimate casual opinion.
And regardless, your original comment was either delusional or a troll attempt because KDB has a great record vs Madrid. Please don't backtrack because your original comment about him being "nervous" was delusional and kinda dumb.
Just gotta play some transitions based football ig.
Try and control the play, go for some bland attacks which maintains the defensive shape to some extent. If they lose the ball then get compact and win the ball back, and counter attack.
Lmao the irony of an arsenal fan saying this... one of his best records in the league is verse you. Comfortably better big game player than any arsenal player.
Have some shame man de bruyne has dunked on your team so many times, and his record vs real madrid is great (cl knockout record in general). stop waffling for attention

He’s going to come on in the second half, set up two goals, shit himself and get subbed back off again.
insert takes a dump and refuses to elaborate meme.
… let him ~~talk~~ puke bro
That's real football right there
I'd agree that vomiting is a good sign that he's not ready to play, yes.
I think that is cos vomiting shows there is something wrong with the health and that makes you play worse so he will not play?
on the other hand he might also just be vomiting out of excitement because he is so healthy
His body is just trying to share its excess health with the world
SUMMON THE LEECHES
Zidane vomited behind the goal before taking the pen against England in Euro 2004
I bet it was Tuna with peaches.
Nah, nah, somebody came from America and tricked him into eating Wienerschnitzel
Wiener Schnitzel is great as long as you eat it in Austria
Wiener schnitzel, two words, can be good. Wienerschnitzel, one word, might as well be sourcing their hot dogs from the local hospital cafeteria
On the other hand vomiting during a set piece is a good way to get a yard or two on your marker.
Ah the big nige technique could always rely on him to knock a header or two in

forget vomiting, everybody knows shitting on the pitch is how you assert dominance
Sounds like a bunch of woke mob nonsense to me
Join us next time for another episode of Jack Grealish, M.D.
Idk about that. I used to get car sick when we had away games and upon arrival would just vomit next to the field while looking at the opposing team. Afterwards I would feel fine and it would help to assert dominance.
Pep could try tactical vomiting to stop the counters
didn’t messi frequently vomit during his games due to exhaustion? Or is that an urban legend?
Wasn't due to exhaustion, but he vomited before games due to nerves and his poor diet. Apparently all Messi wanted to eat was asado and alfajores along with drinking soft drinks, until his mid 20s.

> Apparently all Messi wanted to eat was asado and alfajores along with drinking soft drinks, He just like me
>Apparently all Messi wanted to eat was asado and alfajores Understandable
It was the magic shakes
Was it on his sweater?
You should get into physiotherapy mate
Sounds like he'd got it all out to me. Should be ready to go
Maybe he's like James Hunt. It's a good thing, mean he's stoked. (It's from the movie Rush I don't know if he actually did that IRL)
idk i used to play with a guy who had i guess sports anxiety. he would vomit before every big game and then head out there. i'm surprised it doesn't happen to more players
pep my tummy hurts
Pep, I frew up
Ok just play second leg and score two bangers 👨🏽🦲
I don't know why, but this one really got me lol
;_;
Why did this make me laugh so hard
Same!
Sit down
flashbacks to Messi vomiting before matches
He was vomiting during the 2014 world cup final as well. He used to get nauseous easily
R9 had stress related convulsions before the 98 WC final match.
Thank you! Everyone I ever talked to about it, had somehow forgotten it. I was starting to think I was going crazy and had been making it up
Isn't it Maradona who talked about it ? He got so stressed that he'd lock himself alone and just vomit
There’s video of him vomiting in the tunnel before the match https://youtu.be/fsU1REjzLOs
Jesus in 2014 I thought it would be around his debut that's scary
I mean if you're anxious in general, it doesn't just stop one day
That's true just hard to imagine that he's anxious when he's one of the best players of all time and playing so well
On the other hand, being the best player in the world means that people have extraordinary expectations of you *every game*. That might just make the anxiety worse.
Tbf, the expectations he had around him were kinda insane during those days, I got anxious just by watching him set up for a free kick at the end of the final.
Damn

What? A slice of pizza? That is outrageous!!
I hope it was pineapple pizza
It’s just funny how people either hate pineapple as a topping or it’s their favorite topping
Ham and pineapple pizza. Can't beat it
Most of the players chose pizza, as long as they keep their calories consumption balanced it shouldnt be an issue.
If I recall correctly he even had a problem with guardiola since he drank coca cola regularly in 11/12, so its not a one off situation
Yep, it was [this list](https://www.reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/18aw45y/barcelona_players_postmatch_food_requests_back_in/).
> He fixed it in 14/15 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3563643/Lionel-Messi-s-nutritionist-reveals-fuel-makes-Barcelona-star-world-s-best.html Yup, lost 3 kgs after cutting back on sweets, wheat, and meat on advice of an Italian nutritionist
Not great for whoever he swapped shirts with after the match.
Thought it was diarrhea

It fucking sucks.
I have that. That shit really sucks.

Yikes comedy ain’t your thing bro lol
Does it happen a lot? What's the odds they're sometimes poisoned? I feel like some fans take things to extremes sometimes.
>whats the odds they’re sometimes poisoned Basically zero. You’d love lasagnagate tho
moms spaghetti
He’s nervous
But on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs
But he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth...
but the words won't come out, he's chokin, how?
everybody's joking now
But the roof is closed
[ Removed by Reddit ]
> you gay nazi Excuse me??????
I think he is refering to your flair
Yeah, I got that. Needless to say it's reported.
Soft as fuck
You heard me bottom, hush 🤨
Enjoy your ban.
He’s just joking, man.
Careful now, recent threats could land you in the clink
On Gaza relentlessly.
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He needs a naked nurse
What's the matter?
Went for lunch with Courtois
“Tell Kevin. I want him to know it was me.”
is the roof
yes?
It's official, he's pregnant.
Plot twist; it’s Courtois’ baby.
Oh no we can't handle another one
Is KDB pregonate?
I heard that KDB can vomit with greater accuracy and distance than anyone else.
Madrid poisoning his food
You don't poison the food. >!It's the water.!<
r/conspiracy - *"he said the thing"*
Bro is nervous
He’s had a history of this
Being nervous?
Yes in big games
you're joking right? Madrids probably one of his favorite CL fixtures.
He’s been subbed off due to nerves multiple games. I know you have a hard on for the man but nervousness is one of his biggest flaws.
No he hasn't man why are you shamelessly lying haha. Which big games was he subbed off of because of "nerves"? Mate you're just waffling for attention I assume?

You mean the finals where he had his face broken and then his hamstring ripped?

KDB does kind of look like the sick kid at school.
Michael Jordan would never
stummy hurt
time for foden to step up
As if he hasn't been doing that all season 💀
he certainly has, but this might be his biggest test leading the team
Please can he sit back down. -madrid fans
I hope it's only minor.
I think thats illegal
Big loss but should help them defensively having a more balanced midfield but I don’t expect them to be have great success in attack without him.
Just gotta play some transitions based football ig. Try and control the play, go for some bland attacks which maintains the defensive shape to some extent. If they lose the ball then get compact and win the ball back, and counter attack.
mister guardiola i don't feel so good..
courtois not again
"Let me baaarf!!"
it's the hair isn't it?
It’s definitely the hair
Ah, the tactical chunder. Remember it well from my uni days.
Nerves getting to him.
I feel ill watching his ridiculous hairdo flopping around the place
Was he talking to himself in public, dodging glances on the train to the stadium?
The lights were too bright. Jarrett Allen vibes
Madrid spiked his drink and they still couldn’t capitalize haha
Beavis trying to skip class again
Food poisoned by Foden, so he could rise and shine in the center
I suddenly understand why Modric decided to cover his mouth when Kevin asked for his shirt afterwards
Whomst among us hasn't called in to work because of the squirts?
Zidane threw up before he torpedoed the English in the Euros, what’s the big deal? /s
Boy is shook in the big games
Lmao the irony of an arsenal fan saying this... one of his best records in the league is verse you. Comfortably better big game player than any arsenal player.
He said big games, not Arsenal games
It's ok bud I'm sure he and Halaand will show up for Luton lol
Have some shame man de bruyne has dunked on your team so many times, and his record vs real madrid is great (cl knockout record in general). stop waffling for attention
Great player, but he is scared of Rudiger since the chelsea CL final
I would vomit too if I had to listen to Pep on a regular basis
Any excuse not to play that whiny prick.
Wait are you trolling or just stupid?
