never imagined Argentina Y Leo Messi find themselves in this extreme situation in the second game of a World Cup group that, as soon as the draw was made, was considered more than accessible. However, there was a role in the debut against Saudi Arabia and now the albiceleste must win yes or yes. It will be the reaction and renewal of the illusion. Or it will be a historical frustration. There is no tomorrow, there are no greys. It happens in today’s duel against Mexicoin a game that also multiplies its morbidity because the ‘Tri’ coach is nothing less than Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino.
Argentinathe champion of America defeating in the final Brazil in the very maracanathe one who danced to Italy in the Finalissima, he faces an unexpected scenario, unknown to him. It is that this selection that he put together lionel scaloni chained an undefeated 36 games, which he just lost on Tuesday. He never had to face such a stressful scenario. He had no reflexes to react after the two goals against arabian. Will you have them against Mexico? How will you handle the pressure of knowing that a loss would be a colossal impact, perhaps the hardest blow in all of the Albiceleste’s World Cup history?
Above Argentina up with a huge question: how is Messi? Everyone from the albiceleste team assures that he is well. However, the truth is that he has been suffering from two discomforts for a long time and they did not disappear here. Everything in the left leg, a muscular overload in the calf (in the soleus) and inflammation in the right ankle. Against arabian Leo never exploded. The true state of him will be known from 8:00 p.m. Spanish time, when the ball begins to roll in the lusail stadium.
Another problem that raises doubts in Argentina It is the number of soccer players who recently came out of injuries. They are defined as “touched players”. Hence it is understood that Scaloni has tried so many changes in the last hours. In the last essay, he headlined Gonzalo Montiel, Lisandro Martínez, Marcos Acuña and Enzo Fernández. If he respects that formation there would be four variants and they would come out Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Tagliafico and Alejandro Gómez.
Opposite, like the skull of the Mexican dream, will be exactly Gerardo MartinoMessi’s coach for a while in the Barcelona and in both America Cups with finals lost to Chile on penalties in 2015 and 2016. Tata left with a big thorn from the albiceleste, in full disorganization of the AFA. He couldn’t stand so much out of control. Today we will see how he manages his feelings and what response his team gives.
Mexico has an advantage over Argentina which perhaps allows you to speculate a little more with today’s result. Martino’s team has one more point, product of the tie in the debut against Mexico. Of course, Tata does not have it easy: Mexican fans and the press question almost everything. It will also be a great challenge for him. Argentina Y Leo Messi, Mexico and the Tata Martinoa great game and all the morbidity.
