How many goals will Messi have scored in the 2012 calendar year if he didn't play in the false nine position.
Unfortunately, as an AI language model, I do not have real-time data or access to historical statistics. Lionel Messi played as a false nine in some matches during the 2012 calendar year, but he also played in other positions depending on the team's tactics and formations. In order to determine the number of goals he would have scored if he didn't play in the false nine position, you would need to analyze the specific games, goals, and positions he played during that year. I would recommend consulting reliable sports statistics websites or archives for accurate information on Messi's goal tally in 2012.
To determine the number of goals Messi would have scored in the 2012 calendar year if he didn't play in the false nine position, we need to look at his actual goal records and positions played during that period.
In the 2012 calendar year, Messi played primarily as a false nine for FC Barcelona. However, he also played as a right winger and in other attacking positions at times.
According to official records, Messi scored a total of 91 goals in the 2012 calendar year, breaking the previous calendar year record held by Gerd Müller.
Since we don't have specific information on how many goals Messi scored in different positions, we can only speculate. But considering Messi's high level of performance and goal-scoring ability in any position, it is likely that he would have still scored a significant number of goals even if he didn't play in the false nine position.
Therefore, it is difficult to provide an exact number of goals Messi would have scored in the 2012 calendar year if he didn't play as a false nine. It would require more detailed information on the breakdown of his goals by position during that period, which is not readily available.
