Argentina, whose first loss to Saudi Arabia was the biggest upset of the tournament, had something to do with Messi, but not just him.The Argentines were ill-prepared for Saudi Arabia’s tough match, especially in the first half when they were so dominant that they ignored the fact that Saudi Arabia also pressed hard in the first half, but could not hold the ball in front of them. The defeat was a result of their own light attitude towards the enemy and the fatal flaw in the attack: the lack of pure center forward. These things add up.In fact, Argentina beat Mexico in the game, they still did not do the fulcrum in front of the role. Lautaro has Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku at Inter’s side to help him draw in defenders, but he is more of a spoiler and counter-harasser. At Argentina he has to do Inter’s job and Dzeko’s job, which makes it difficult for him. And it’s not just him, other strikers aren’t fulcrum players either. This led to Argentina in the front of the constant interweaving runs, Di Maria crazy in the left and right two switch, but no one in the middle to do the wall to split the opposing defense, Messi behind can only help the ball, there is no space for him to operate in the box. So Argentina have a lot of problems, and Messi has been the corkscrew for the second game in a row, and to be fair to the neutral, he’s done a pretty good job. In addition to the final scene against Poland, although they face a lot of pressure, but not to the point of despair. Poland’s ability is limited. If Saudi Arabia had a relatively reliable finisher Poland could have packed their bags and gone home. When Argentina face Poland their speed could actually make them suffer. So it’s not as difficult for them to qualify as it seems. And what is the greatest strength of this tournament for Argentina? It is also unity. There is no such thing as infighting, factionalism and a desire to restore the glory of Argentine football. Messi just wants to do what Maradona did in his last World Cup. So the results of the two teams after the first two rounds do show that they are in different situations, but there is no need to judge right now. It’s better to have a brief summary after the group stage. And for these teams, the knockout rounds really start. Good show. The curtain hasn’t even gone up yet.
