Argentina really made a big mistake this time, not only lost, but also lost so much that people wanted to find a crack to get into. It's not a simple loss, it's a fiasco that makes fans want to burn their jerseys. The opponent tore the Argentine defense to shreds with three goals, which is simply an insult to football!
Let's talk about this game first, the competition between Argentina and the other party seems to be fairly balanced on the field, but the Argentine players seem to have lost their souls on the field. Pass? Don't mention it, it's so good that it can kill people. Shot? It's a complete waste of expression, and I'm afraid you can hit a bird if you shoot it into the sky. The opposing team seized the opportunity and tore through the Argentine defence again and again. Argentina's back line, in particular, is like papier-mâché, which can be broken at the slightest touch.
Messi, who fans are looking forward to the most, also seems to be unable to do it this time. His signature breakthrough and shooting were barely visible in this game. Whenever he got the ball, two or three opponents came up to block it, and Messi didn't seem to be able to find a suitable coping strategy. We all know that Messi is a magician on the pitch, but this time his magic wand seems to have been forgotten in the dressing room.
After this game, the Argentine team must have a good internal reflection. It's okay to lose, but to lose so uncompetitive is a disaster for Argentina, which has a long tradition of football. The team will not only have to analyze the holes in the defense, but also think about how to create more effective chances when attacking. The current Argentine team needs not only technical adjustments, but also strategic and psychological reconstruction.
And for Messi, such a game is certainly a major blow. As captain and spiritual leader, Messi's morale and performance have a direct impact on the entire team. His return had been a ray of hope for all, but now it seemed that the light had dimmed considerably. But we can't put all the blame on Messi alone, football is a team sport after all, and what is needed is the tacit understanding and hard work of the whole team.
As can be seen from this game, Argentina has a lot of problems, and it will not be solved overnight. Fans can be disappointed, they can be sad, but they must not give up hope. Every great team has its moments, and the key is how to get back up and find yourself again.
At the end of the day, it's just a game, a bad game. Argentina has a future, and Messi has a future. As fans, we deserve more support and trust in difficult times. Hopefully, in the days to come, we will see a different Argentina, a more united and tenacious team.
Remember, failure is the mother of success. Today's shame will be tomorrow's motivation. Argentina, come on! Messi, come on! Fans, let's look forward to the next glory together!
