In the lonely stadium in the desert, the Argentines took out a handkerchief ready to cry, all the ending had been written, all the tears had begun, but they suddenly raised the handkerchief and cheered, after Messi gently waved his calf.
The tears of the Argentines, the hearts of the fans of the world, just fluttered around, manipulated by a little wizard.
In Argentina's 2-0 win over Mexico, did Messi play well or not?
This is a problem. To say that he played well, he walked almost all the game, he didn't play the role of playmaking core in midfield, and of course the opponent was also a reason. Whenever a teammate looks up for Messi, he happens to drown in the figure of the Mexican player, gradually disappearing into the group after sunset (this article excerpts a lot of Xi Murong's poem). Even so, the Argentine player still stubbornly passes the ball to him, not caring about getting lost again and again, while the Mexican, like a fisherman by the sea, makes Messi into bait, happily harvesting one pass after another to Messi. This led Argentina to play their toughest first half in recent years.
I was chatting with an Argentine fan named Plaid and he endured most of my complaint: Di Maria should come off the bench and play the last 40 minutes. Both of them were completely defenseless and couldn't play like that; Dybala should be replaced in the second half, because Messi needs a two-holding point, and blocking Messi Argentina will lose the pass; Messi should not stay in the middle circle, should stand at the front of the opponent's penalty area arc, let someone else pass the ball to him, he is only responsible for the last shot because he has lost the run; How does Argentina lack a centre-forward, wait, and no winger.

Amid my nagging, Messi gently stretched his calf from 25 meters away and scored an impossible goal, and the Mexican goalkeeper tried his best, but he may be the shortest goalkeeper in this World Cup. Messi, who was crooked by me, once again saved Argentina at a crucial moment.
Perhaps Argentina is happy with this kind of god-making movement, they always clasp their hands together in the most difficult and desperate times, praying to heaven, hoping that someone will save them, and Messi's timely goal once again satisfies all their imaginations of God. Even though he was sitting on the steps and was already old, he could still punch the punks who were provocative to him.
After the match in Argentina, I saw a Cristiano Ronaldo fan named Karaschok leave a message: "To be fair, I am a Luo fan, and I am the kind that fights with Mei, but in this World Cup I really supported Messi, because after fighting for so many years, we are all getting old, and the peerless double pride that accompanies our youth is about to end, just like the final ending of the story, it is good for everyone to live together without shame." "Look, the walking Messi, with his brilliant goal, helped the next generation to the horse and sent another assist, thus conquered the diehards of the opposing camp, and the sun rose in the desert.
Argentina's number 10 is always magical.
When fans are ready to meet a ball king, fans will expect him to perform miracles like Moses on the mountain. The weary, bearded Messi led the Argentines in search of the land of Canaan, flowing with milk and honey, and acted as a shepherd in the wilderness. According to human common sense, Messi does not play well, but he only needs two minutes to make the fans worship, so he goes beyond the good and the bad, and all the fans have to do is watch Messi a few more games. Thankfully, that wish seemed to come true.
As a worldly person, I don't like to have someone crowned in my heart, because I never want to throw myself at people, but for an artist like Messi, I am willing to stingy my applause offstage until the fat slap is slapped like a peach blossom. Argentina, the country that gave birth to Che Guevara, Borges and Maradona, the people here are not as pretentious as me, they will raise their handkerchiefs at any time, one moment, you think he is going to wipe his tears, in the next moment, they have waved into a sea of joy, this is the Argentina of pathos, the Argentina of passion.
Messi, among the various handkerchiefs waving at you, whose hand suddenly withdrew and tightly covered his eyes.
