The 2022 World Cup, for the football world's peerless double pride Messi, C Ronaldo, may be the last time in his career to participate in the World Cup, after all, Messi is about to be 35 years old, C Ronaldo is 37 years old, and the state and data of the two this season are not as good as before.
Messi has Mbappe, Neymar and other fierce players around him, but in the past, it is impossible to be eliminated by the long-lost Real Madrid as soon as they enter the Champions League knockout round. C Ronaldo is also surrounded by strong players, changed in the past, and it is even more unlikely to be eliminated by Atletico, who has only been second-rate in the Champions League in recent years.
Messi has won the League Golden Boot for five consecutive seasons, but this season's league goals have only been 2 so far, and it took half a day to find his name after slipping half a day in the Ligue 1 top scorer list, setting a new career low.
Cristiano Ronaldo's data is beautiful, but the number of league goals is only 12, ranking sixth in the Premier League top scorer list, 8 goals less than the top place Salah, but also because C Ronaldo's attendance is higher than Messi, and he is also the core of the United attacking end, with unlimited firing rights. Previously, in Real Madrid, at Juve, Ronaldo was a Golden Boot level shooter. Compared with the league goal, Messi only has a fraction of C Ronaldo, but if Ronaldo continues to stay at Manchester United, he may not play in the Champions League next season, and Manchester United has lost the initiative in the competition for the fourth.
However, for Messi and C Ronaldo, the twilight of their careers and the fifth consecutive world cup are also lucky. In the last World Preliminary Tournament, Argentina stumbled all the way to the final thrilling promotion, and this time it mastered the promotion initiative early. Portugal fell into the play-offs and also drew a group with Italy, fortunately, Italy was eliminated by North Macedonia, and Portugal did not have much effort to beat North Macedonia to advance.
The club's teammate configuration is far stronger than the national team, and in the club, they are unable to carry the team further in the Champions League, and I am afraid that I will not dream of winning the World Cup for the first time in my career in the World Cup. So in the World Cup, what else is the "absolute double pride" fighting for? At the very least, it can compete for the World Cup Golden Boot.
The current World Cup Golden Boot odds, the top three are Ronaldo, Kane and Messi
Group H Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea, in addition to Suarez, Cavani led by Uruguay, Portugal against the long-lost Ghana and Asian team South Korea, C Ronaldo should have the opportunity to brush the data.
Group B England, Iran, United States, TBD 1
Pending 1 will be produced in the three teams of Ukraine, Scotland and Wales, no matter which one, plus the scheduled Iran and the United States, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the impact of the offensive end of the Three Lions. Kane brushes up on data more than Ronaldo.
Group C Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland, for Messi, Saudi Arabia is a good opponent to brush data.
"Absolute double pride" Messi, C Ronaldo, career all over the golden boot, but in the past three years, the strongest scorer in football is Levan, has won two consecutive European golden boots, this season's league goals are also far ahead of the top five league top scorers, winning the European Golden Boot is very promising.
But Levan is only 14th in the odds list of this year's World Cup Golden Boot, which is probably also due to the reality that Levan is strong and Poland is weak, and whether the group can qualify is a problem.
