3:0 to 1:0! Argentina rushed to win 5 consecutive victories and 3 World Cup double champions Messi Su Shen rushed to the record
After the five major leagues temporarily entered the adjustment period, the national team competition also came, this World Preliminary Tournament, the European region will continue to play the European Cup qualifiers, and the Asian and South American regions will compete for the World Cup qualifiers. Originally, there would be two key battles on the South American continent, and the protagonists were World Cup champion Argentina. The Pampas Eagles will face Uruguay at home before facing Brazil at the top.
The South American World Preliminary Tournament has played 4 rounds, and Argentina is currently the only team to win 4 consecutive games, followed by Uruguay and Brazil, and both teams have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 7 points. In this Argentina squad, including Messi, Di Maria, Lautaro, Martinez, Alvarez, De Paul and other World Cup champions, there is no suspense to continue to be selected. On the Uruguayan side, Barcelona defender Araujo, Real Madrid's 100 million Mr. Valverde, Liverpool's Nunez were all shortlisted, and Suarez also relied on his recent excellent performance to return to the national team.
As the World Cup champion, and is currently the world's No. 1 team, Argentina in Qatar after the championship, is still in a very hot state, a wave of 7 consecutive wins let the Pampas Eagles attack the new winning streak; in addition to the South American World Preliminary Tournament 4 consecutive wins, Argentina has not conceded a goal in these 4 games, this is also the only team that has not conceded a goal at present, it can be seen that the Argentine back line led by Martinez and Romero is gradually getting better.
After the start of the new season, many Argentine players have also played well in their respective clubs, especially the strikers Lautaro and Alvarez, the former has scored 14 goals in 16 appearances for Inter Milan and leads the Serie A scorer list, the Nerazzurri is also two rounds ahead of the Champions League, and Serie A leads the standings. Alvarez also has 7 goals and 4 assists, and has firmly established himself as the main player of Manchester City, the old and strong Di Maria has also played 7 goals in 15 games in Benfica, and Messi, as for Messi, he is currently on "vacation" because of the end of the MLS season.
Uruguay has also won the World Cup twice in history, but they did not play well in last year's World Cup, they were declared out of the group stage, and then the "crazy coach" Bielsa took office, and after 6 games, the old coach also led the team to win 4 games. Originally, Bielsa did not recruit Suarez after taking office, but Su Shen relied on his recent hat trick in Gremio and the luxury data of 23 goals and 16 assists in the season to impress the old coach again, so Su Shen returned to the national team this time, if nothing else, Su Shen and Messi, two friends, will meet in this game. It is worth mentioning that Messi has scored 31 goals in the South American World Qualifiers, which is the player with the most goals, and the second is precisely Suarez with 29 goals.
This is the fourth meeting between the two teams in two years, in the last World Preliminary Tournament, Argentina defeated Uruguay 3:0 home and away, 1:0, and Argentina also eliminated Uruguay in the 2021 Copa America. According to Argentina's TYC media report, Scaloni has basically confirmed the starting lineup for this game. The backline will continue to be Martinez, Molina, Romero, Otamendi and Tagliafico, while in midfield the trio of Enzo, De Paul and McAllister. The only thing that has not been determined is the striker, in addition to Messi, in the other two positions, Scaloni is still considering using Alvarez, Lautaro or Gonzalez or Di Maria.
