On the evening of June 14, Argentina had a training session at the Beijing Workers' Stadium, which was also the last training session with the ball before the team's warm-up match against Australia. Argentina coach Scaloni said at his pre-match press conference that in principle, Messi would play the whole game.
After the bus on which the Argentine team rode into the Workers' Stadium, former Argentina international and former Hebei team foreign aid Ravic also went to the work body to meet old friends, and Messi has been communicating with him since he got off the bus. After entering the stadium, Messi sat on the bench drinking yerba mate and chatting with his teammates, looking very relaxed. The goalkeeper group, led by Martin, took the lead on the pitch and began formal training after a simple warm-up. Afterwards, other Argentine players took to the pitch, first for warm-up activities such as lap grabs, while Messi and Di Maria were still sitting on the bench to prepare. It wasn't until the 15 minutes open for the media that Messi entered the pitch and joined the team's training.
This is Argentina's first overseas match since the World Cup triumph, and people want to see the world champion and Messi firsthand, and Scaloni naturally understands this, saying before the game that he would let Messi play the whole game in principle. Commenting on the goals of the last series of warm-up matches, the Argentine boss said that the most important thing is the process of the game, the result is not so important, "We think this game is interesting, the opponent is very strong, we have been preparing in the last few days, although it is a bit long, but we really want to play this game well, leave a good image and most importantly enjoy this game. It is worth mentioning that Alvarez, who won the Champions League with Manchester City and participated in the celebrations, also arrived in Beijing on the 14th to join the team, and the Argentine team was all assembled the day before the match.
On the evening of the 15th, the world champion led by Messi will be unveiled in Beijing Xingongti, when the football boom set off by the Argentine team in Beijing will also rise to a peak with the high temperature in Beijing.
