Henry explains why Messi always scores from the same area in the World Cup:
Messi in Zone 14

Thierry Henry was a teammate of Argentine Lionel Messi at Barcelona from 2007 to 2010. He knows very well how the Selection number 10 thinks and moves, as well as what he is capable of: it seems like he is out of the game, but then he lights up in an instant and comes forward like lightning, especially when he moves to his golden square, Zone 14. The former footballer explained why the Argentine champion always starts from the same part of the field. It is his favorite area, the point from which he has a very high probability of scoring. This has also happened in the current World Cup, but for the Frenchman it is not at all a novelty: “The Flea” is not only a finisher, but above all a positioning genius. “It is his home,” Henry says live on television, placing himself in that small space just outside the opposing area, which is his favorite hunting ground. If defenders come out to mark him, he unloads the ball with a pass and then runs in to score, or provides a perfect assist. If opponents stay in position, he takes the ball and with his talent manages to invent the best possible trajectory to finish the action.

“Lionel Messi lives, breathes, sleeps, drinks coffee in that area, Zone 14,” Henry told Fox Sports. “Let me explain. Zone 14 is a central area, just outside the opponent’s penalty area. We all know that Zone 17 is where most goals are scored. Of course, because that’s where the goal is. But if you know how to move around here and you understand the game, you can score a lot of goals. And Lionel Messi knows exactly how to stay in that area. This is his home. That’s where he scores a lot of goals.”

What is Zone 14?

It is the central space between the midfield line and the opposing defensive line. It is often called the “hole”. A kind of spatial and temporal dimension where anything can happen, because that is where the goals, assists and most dangerous actions are born. In transition (as they say in football jargon) he is even more dangerous. Messi knows all the movements by heart, he feels in the air which one is the right one. It is a matter of moments, a fraction of a second during which he decides whether to shoot. “The ball will come to him. It is here, in Zone 14, that the attackers enter the space. If one of the defenders comes out to mark it, he will have to face a pass from Lionel Messi and then he will score.”

Henry also went into detail about Messi's movements in transition. In the event of a quick counterattack, against a disorganized defense, he can be deadly. The former footballer explained this on the virtual board: "You're entering the 14th Zone... nobody can defend when you're in transition. It's very difficult, because when the ball enters the 13th Zone or the 16th Zone, everyone enters the zone with their runs. And if you're intelligent enough to go out, to get the ball and, of course, have the quality of Lionel Messi, you can score."
