The Bolivians who took over the Hernando Siles they never saw it in action Lionel Messi, but they were satisfied with the world champion team in its entirety. It is that without his genius, marginalized even from the successors, Argentina He took to the heights of La Paz with the same authority he is now showing on the plain and took a giant victory to complete the perfect start to the first double date of the Qualifiers, leading to the 2026 World Cup.
The entire ’10’ sitting on the bench looked at him, although he wasn’t even part of the replacement roster. Across Lionel Scaloni I said that if I was traveling Messi playing, they finally agreed to rest. Logical: 36 years old, no preseason, 12 games in the last 48 days and symptoms of fatigue and a request for a change in the previous match against Ecuador… The news of the loss of the captain was known only an hour before the game.
Argentina not missed Messi. There are two powerful reasons that explain this. On the one hand, the team’s collective response has been impressive. And on the other hand, the replacement of ’10’, Angel Di Mariamoved up with total naturalness and became extremely influential, entering Enzo Fernandez in the 1-0 game Nicolas Tagliafico with the free kick sent by the defender into the net half over his head and half over his shoulder.
The choice of Scaloni not even a moment. In the first period, not only did they have a two-goal difference, but they also Bolivia was left with one less person for the violent violation of Robert Fernandez in Cutie Romeroin a clear symbol of incompetence.
The win was no accident. There are some shots in the woodwork. There are several saves from Guillermo Viscarra. And near the end, with a good left foot, Nicolas Gonzalez nailed the third.
The difference in hierarchy between Bolivia and Argentina It’s so big that the albiceleste have the ability to score high and nothing Messi.
