At 7:30 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow, Argentina will host Venezuela in the penultimate round of the South American World Preliminaries. This match has no impact on the South American qualifying situation, but it is of great significance for Argentina to prepare for the World Cup. Because of this game, Martin, Romero, Lautaro and many other main players have been suspended due to suspensions and injuries, this Argentina is not the strongest Argentina, but Messi and Di Maria lead the forward line of Argentina, the offensive strength is still strong.
Argentina are currently seriously preparing for this match. Messi shared a training photo on his personal social media today, only to see him sitting on the ball and laughing, completely getting rid of his embarrassment of being booed by fans in Paris. Indeed, Messi was too happy in the national team. As long as Messi is on the field, he is the core, but the teammates do not want Messi to be too tired, always through active running and scrambling, to create opportunities for Messi. It is estimated that during training, the teammates felt that Messi was not young, and it was only after he had a cold that he recovered, so they let him rest and rest, so Messi sat on the ball and laughed. Between training sessions, Manchester United youngster Garnaccio took the opportunity to take a photo with Messi.
However, when it comes to real training, Messi is still very serious. Only to see him stop the ball with his left foot, and then pass it out forcefully, reflecting the strength of Messi King's left foot. Considering that the opponent is a relatively weak Venezuela, and Argentina has already obtained the World Cup ticket last year, messi and his teammates practice together, and the overall is still relatively relaxed.
Argentina's last round was away to Ecuador, exactly the same as the last World Cup, but the situation between the two teams is completely different this time. In the last edition, Ecuador has been eliminated, and Argentina's fate hangs on the line; this year, Argentina qualified early, Ecuador almost qualified, so Argentina's last two matches will be spent in a relaxed environment. Can Messi score goals in these two games? How many goals can you score? None of this matters, but Messi may be able to score more goals in a relaxed state, and if Messi can score 2 goals in 2 games, he will be crowned the Argentine top scorer in this World Cup; if he scores 1 goal, he will share this glory with Lautaro.
If Messi can play beyond the level and score more than 4 goals in two games, it is possible to lead the South American World Preliminary Tournament top scorers list. If so, he will also be the player who scored the most goals for Argentina under Scaloni, and the current player under Szcian, the most goals scored by Lautaro, who has scored 19 goals, followed by Messi with 15 goals.
