Almost all the talk about the World Cup today was left in the opening of Argentina's debut, Messi's last dance. In terms of such a position and traffic, the French team and Mbappe who appeared in the early morning were far behind, so Grand Paris manager Galti is a person who understands - let's coax Mr. Mu to support Messi, what!
▲Argentina is the biggest attraction today
Think back to Russia 4 years ago, and this time I had to pinch the sweat for Argentina's "dance partner" Saudi Arabia. Judging by their overall strength and undefeated opponents in 36 consecutive games, I am afraid that what a painful realization it is. Argentina has always been a hand-held opponent of the West Asian team, and some science fans even digital analysis have concluded that its win rate is only single digits below 5, and with reference to Saudi Arabia's defense that even the national football team may not be able to defend well, the suspense of victory and defeat will not exist at all.
▲ This is the ending that many fans are looking forward to seeing
The only suspense is Messi's goal
To say that the suspense that this game can have, it is nothing more than whether Messi can score goals. After all, 35 people, watching one game is less, and it is already very unrealistic to expect a 39-year-old "Uncle Messi" in the next session, so everyone hopes that Boss Mei can score more goals, the better. As such, Argentina, who must have points and goal difference in the first game, will inevitably start Messi. Even if Messi missed some matches in Paris "due to injury" before, and suffered a "warm-up game horror" after arriving in Qatar, it should not be a big problem.
▲With the World Cup, Boss Mei is complete
Since it is the last dance, Messi will certainly not miss any game easily. Now Messi's style of play and mentality are at an optimal stage, and since finally winning the Copa America last year to fulfill his dream of winning the title, Boss Mei is relieved and his performance is getting more and more fair. Unlike Ronaldo, who stretches his neck all day, Messi is now in a detached state, his last long-cherished wish is the World Cup, and his current tactical role is greater for Argentina, through strategy, passing, organization, giving a No. 10 the most fundamental meaning.
▲Who will be Messi's "protector"
Whether the midfielder will "try" the newcomer
One of the most important shots in midfield, Lo Celso, was injured, and the "protector" around Messi was left with De Paul. So who can take Lo Celso's place in this case? It will be the perfect time for manager Scaloni to make a try. Judging by the characteristics of the players and the order of appearance, it should be Paredes in front. However, Juventus' recent record is not good, and the player's own form is also doubtful, and it cannot be ruled out that Brighton's main midfielder McAllister will start. After all, people are young, they are in excellent competitive form, and their passing ability is online, and Scaroni can't help but plan for the future.
▲Saudi Arabia's goal can only be "lightly abused"
Saudi Arabia is really difficult to "save respect"
Strictly speaking, Qatar can also be considered half of Saudi Arabia's home stadium, but the Saudi team's results in the World Cup are too bad. Except for the surprise moment of 94, the rest is bitter. All West Asian teams that have appeared so far have lost their opponents, and Saudi Arabia may have to do nothing more than try to avoid tragedy in the face of the biggest favourites of this year.
▲Saudi Arabia performed well in the round of 12 in the Asian zone
This time, Saudi Arabia should learn some lessons from the past and consolidate its defense. From the perspective of the Asian round of 12, Saudi Arabia's defense line is still improving compared to the past. Five of the nine games have kept a clean sheet, which is unusual for teams to play in the past in the conference system. Their centre-back Amri and left-back Shahrani are both good offensive and defensive, at least at the best level in Asia. But it's not practical to lead with a point, and even with veteran captain Alfaraj in midfield, it is not expected to pose a slight threat to the Pampas Eagles.
▲Will Alvarez start
As Scaloni said, Messi is happy on the pitch and he makes a lot of people happy. On the journey of the last World Cup, he and everyone are looking forward to a happy start, and the first match against Saudi Arabia is very in line with "expectations". So Argentina, which has the largest fan base, have fun and enjoy the game!
