World Cup South America qualifiers, Argentina 3-0 victory over Venezuela, Argentina has long been and Brazil hand in hand, in a sense, the results of this game have little impact on Argentina, but a Argentina has been unbeaten for 29 consecutive games, whether it can continue to maintain a good momentum, for the team psychological level is undoubtedly a good hint, and Messi also urgently need to find a state through such a formal game.
From the course of the game, Argentina undoubtedly achieved the set goal, Messi contributed to the threat many times throughout the game, and in the 81st minute, received a pass from Di Maria, scored a goal, and helped Argentina lock in the victory; after winning this victory, Argentina also extended the unbeaten game to 30 games, and the team was full of confidence.
Following last year's victory in the Copa America, Argentina will go to the Qatar World Cup in the best posture and launch a strong impact on the highest honor of world football, and the biggest confidence of the Argentine team lies in the strong return of Messi.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Messi, the heroic performance of another member of the team veteran can also not be ignored, that is, Di Maria, who provided an assist for Messi, angels contributed a good performance of one pass and one shot in this game, and his second goal for Argentina was his signature provocative goal.
We saw this kind of provocative goal in the final of the Copa America last year; in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, we also saw that Argentina won two championships with di Maria's two goals, from Di Maria's debut to the end, the Angels have been Argentina's most reliable bright star at key moments.
It is a pity that although Di Maria has repeatedly played the role of a key killer, she has also been injured on the eve of the final battle, and the most regrettable thing is that in the 2014 World Cup, Di Maria was injured in the quarter-finals, and the decisive battle could not be played, and Argentina also lost germany and was relegated to the second place; 1 year later, in the Copa America, Di Maria was injured on the eve of the final again, and Argentina once again rubbed shoulders with the champion.
Many people may not understand why Di Maria is so important to Argentina, the reason is very simple, Messi at the peak of his career, has long been famous, is bound to be taken care of by all the teams, at this time, Argentina is in great need of another stable output point, Di Maria's style of play, just perfectly adapted to Messi, which is very similar to Maradona and Caniggia in 1990.
Moreover, Di Maria and Messi are similar in age, Di Maria is 34 years old, Messi is only 34 years old now (the World Cup final will be 35 years old), the two began to play together in the Argentine Olympic team, established a very deep friendship and tacit understanding, they won the first national team championship together - the 2008 Beijing Olympic Champion, Di Maria received Messi's pass and scored the only goal in the whole game.
However, it is a pity that the two talented players have some inexplicable flaws, Messi's physical condition is not very good, Di Maria, although running actively, but also an injuryable physique, every combination since their debut and peak has not reached perfection, until the 33-year-old Di Maria and the 34-year-old Messi won the Copa America for the first time last year, and the pair of extremely correct pairs seems to have returned to the peak.
And now, 34-year-old Di Maria and 35-year-old Messi (calculated at the time of the World Cup) are about to join hands in the World Cup, can they once again burst into flames at the end of their careers and realize the dream that should have been fulfilled 8 years ago? We'll see.
