As we all know, Argentina drew a good draw and will be in the same group as Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in the World Cup, but the Argentine coach is cautious and almost exaggerates all three opponents. At the first time after the draw, Polish center Levan tweeted: "Argentina, Mexico, Saudi Arabia!" See you in November, can't wait. It should be said that Levan's voice is understandable, after all, he has too few opportunities to play directly with Messi, and he is a little unconvinced by the loss of the Ballon d'Or to Messi.
Just after Levan's voice, Polish star Pičnicek actually commented on Messi in an interview: "Messi is quite old now, and he is no longer in the state he was in before. I don't know exactly what Messi will bring to Argentina at the World Cup or what role he will play. Maybe Messi will be a substitute and will play in the last 15-20 minutes of the game. Apparently, the Polish star had too low a high opinion of Messi, and many fans thought he didn't look much at Messi's game. Whether in the national team or in the club team, Messi played almost the full 90 minutes on the field.
Beijing time last night, the media reported mexico legendary striker Blanco's evaluation of Messi in the ESPN program: "The Argentine team is the same as our weaknesses, and it is also two legs and two hands. The only threat is Messi. We had to watch him alone, not even make him turn around, and keep an eye on him and stick to him all over the pitch. In this way you deprive Argentina of a lot of possibilities. ”
The Mexican football star, who was known for his "frog jumpers" at the 1998 World Cup, obviously doesn't know much about Argentina today. Argentina is no longer a single person fighting, Scaloni is particularly good at using Messi, the midfield de Paul, Paredes is Messi's "demining" hero, all three lines of personnel to create a comfortable space for Messi. Messi is happy in the national team. Argentina, without Messi, is still very strong, and Di Maria and Lautaro's finishing ability is still relatively strong.
Interestingly, polish celebrities said that Messi could only play 15-20 minutes off the bench, while Mexican celebrities said that argentina's only threat was Messi, just defend Messi. Some fans feel that this is not fooling Saudi Arabia? It was too much for Saudi Arabia to know which celebrity to listen to.
One fan joked that if polish and Mexican celebrities are right, then Saudi Arabia only needs to spend 20 minutes watching Messi to win Argentina. This is obviously ridiculous. Some fans also feel that Saudi Arabia should be smarter, not only do not listen to the flickering, but also turn the muzzle of the gun, in the group stage to give up the fight with Argentina, but fiercely fight Poland and Mexico, perhaps Saudi Arabia really has a glimmer of group qualification hope.
