He could not show his leadership throughout the match Saudi Arabia. However, he did so minutes after Argentina crowned the World Cup. Unlike other blows received by the albiceleste, when he chooses silence, Lionel Messi He appeared in the mixed zone of Lusail Stadium. He gave the words a brutal blow. And in the following hours, in the concentration established at the University of Qatar, hand in hand with his teammates, 10 continued in leading mode. Down line.
Messi He held a meeting with a group of players, as reported from the blue and white intimacy. The speech on the 10th aimed to regain optimism, confidence, in the same sense as he declared earlier abroad: “Let the people trust, we will not let them down. Now we must show that we are a real .group”.
The emotional factor worries most of all. There is no emotional reaction against Saudi Arabia. How will these players respond, for many this is their first shot at the National Team? That’s where Messi is focused. You have to think of Leo at this time, bridging the gap, like in that harangue before the Copa América final against Brazil that went viral… For him and for every footballer, the visit of relatives -son on Wednesday afternoon.
Like everything that started against Saudi Arabia, a day after the cruel defeat, Messi did different things. The captain is also surrounded by a powerful unknown: what is his true physical state, considering that he is observed without an explosion and sometimes walks with difficulty?
It does not appear in any official medical report, but Leo will have discomfort in the soleus (area of muscular overload where he did not train like the others for a few days) and in the left ankle (the one with swelling and the viral image). “Messi is fine”, they repeated from the Argentine coaching staff at the same time as the 10 said after the 1-2 against Saudi Arabia. No doubt: the captain will start against Mexico.
Meanwhile, the other Lionel, the coach Scaloni, is examining some changes that will be implemented on Saturday from the start against the selection of Gerardo Martino. There could be three changes: Lisandro Martínez for Cristian Romero, Enzo Fernández for Leandro Paredes and Alexis Mac Allister or Julián Álvarez for Alejandro Gómez. The replacements are footballers who are not injured, but have recently avoided physical problems and come without the rhythm of football.
Another sentence emerged from the Argentine concentration: “For us, there is no more group stage. We consider all the rest of the World Cup as a ‘kill – kill’. Now every game is final and you have to win”.
