The German Jurgen Klinsmancaptain of the FIFA technical studies group, pondered what the figure of the Argentine sent Leo Messiwho is admired by the various nationalities gathered in Qatar for the World Cup, and that is why “everyone” wants him to “win” the tournament because being “matched with Maradona is an incredible story. “
“We are all Messi fans and we want him to win the World Cup. That he can match Maradona is an incredible story,” he said at a press conference.
“The magic of Messi it is important. He is a differential player and you allocate everything to him”, he commented on the importance of ’10’ in Argentina.
A final one he analyzed and in which he focused on the figure of the forwards.
“It’s not a coincidence France Y Argentina reached the final, because they have players who can finish the crosses that come. For future coaches, we need to work on developing strikers who know how to finish crosses and aerial balls in general. Big clubs will look for strikers with these qualities”, he highlighted.
“They are two identical teams. With very explosive and high quality players on an individual level. Mbappe, Dembele, Griezmann, in one hand; Messi, Julián Álvarez, on the other hand… he will be a fantastic opponent. Let’s see who has more risk, maybe at the beginning of the game they will neutralize in the middle of the field”, he completed.
Also, Klinsman analyzed the changing trend in football, in terms of the prevailing style Qatar World Cup 2022, with reference to the game of possession and dominance on the ball in which Spain bet. “To go far in the tournament you have to have good players one on one, who take risks. There are others who have followed the example of the Spanish model, playing in the first and second touch. In the World Cup this only works if you are effective in the area. Otherwise, it’s better to play on the counterattack”, he appreciated.
“Although it’s not a finished thing. Spain has a lot of quality and a good ability to keep possession, but the key in this tournament is that you need players who can shoot and score goals. It’s a something that has been costing Spain for a long time. We see how Guardiola signed, for example Haaland and this is because, despite the presence, they need a ‘9’ to finish inside the area”, he completed.
