After a two-month hiatus, the World Preliminary Tournament will once again sweep the world of football and become the most important event after the New Year. In addition to the national football team that fans are very concerned about, other world-class strong teams have also made appearances, and the Pampas Eagle Argentina has made fans worry a lot, and the team has seven Golden Globes cross-era god front Messi.
At 11:00 p.m. Beijing time on January 19, the Argentine Football Association officially announced the latest training list, a total of 27 players were selected, but the mei ball king that fans are most looking forward to has no regrets. There are old faces such as Dybala, Di Maria, Correa and Lautaro in the forward line, but Icardi, Messi and other Paris stars have not been selected, the midfield is Led by Atletico De Paul and Tottenham Hotspur's Lotelso, the defender line has Otamendi, a well-known star, and the rest are mostly from their own leagues, or players from the middle and lower teams of the five major leagues who are not well known.
In fact, the arrangement of coach Scaloni is not difficult to understand, argentina currently has 29 points in 13 games, and is unbeaten with 8 wins and 5 draws. According to the rules of the World Preliminary Tournament in South America, the top four teams will directly advance to the Qatar World Cup, and the fifth-place team will fall into the play-offs and will compete for a place in the third place of the Asian group, then Argentina is currently 12 points ahead of the fifth-place Peru, and with 4 rounds left, Argentina has locked the top four of the group in advance, which means that they have now reached the final round of the Qatar World Cup.
Considering that Messi is old and has just recovered from the new crown, his body is still relatively weak and not in the best condition, so the Argentine Football Association has authorized Messi not to return to China to participate in the remaining World Preliminary Tournament competition, but to arrange his own time, and can continue to stay at the Paris club to recover, or spend a holiday with his family to relax. After joining Paris this season, Messi has been slow to integrate into Pochettino's tactical system, and his offensive position in the team has been firmly suppressed by Mbappe, which makes Messi have very limited ball rights, which directly led to the decline of Messi's golden ball data.
Especially in Ligue 1, Messi made 11 appearances and scored only 1 goal. Kylian Mbappe, on the other hand, has scored 10 goals and has eight assists. Messi has been unable to score in all competitions for 43 days, which is extremely rare in the Barca era. Because of this, Messi is also extremely eager to gain a foothold in Ligue 1 as soon as possible, conquer the discerning Paris fans, so as to establish Pochettino as the core of the offensive end as soon as possible, and all tactics can be developed around him, so that his ball power will increase significantly, and his threat on the offensive end will be greater.
The choice to refuse to return to Argentina for the World Cup also reflects Messi's determination to focus on the Paris club. Paris are currently striving for the title on both The Ligue 1 and Champions League fronts, and Messi's form largely determines how far the team can go. Therefore, when Paris heard this decision of Messi, it should feel extremely fortunate, after all, messi, who has seven golden balls, can voluntarily give up the honor of the national team and devote himself to the club, which is a special treatment that Barca has not been able to get before. It is expected that Messi will be able to return to the arena as soon as possible, continue to show his magnificent dance moves on the pitch, and do his best for the Ligue 1 and Champions League champions in Paris.
