Beijing time in the early morning of yesterday morning, in the Qatar World Cup 8th finals, Argentina defeated Australia 2-1 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with goals from Messi and Alvarez. This is the 1,000th game of Argentina star Messi's career. He played in the World Cup for the 23rd time, setting a record for Argentina's football history; he scored his first goal for the team in the game and won his first World Cup knockout goal; he was elected as the best player in the World Cup for the 8th time, and was the leader in history.
Including this event, Messi has participated in 5 World Cups. This goal in the early morning of yesterday was his first goal in the knockout stage. The total number of goals in the individual World Cup exceeded Maradona and Stabile, reaching 9, ranking second in Argentine football history. In front of Messi is the "God of War" Batistuta, who scored 10 goals in the World Cup. Messi has a good chance to tie the record or even break this record. After the
game, Messi was undisputedly elected as the best player of the game. This is the 8th time Messi has been elected the best in the game in the World Cup. Currently, Messi has 23 appearances in the World Cup, making him the first person in the history of Argentina. This game is Messi's 100th time as captain of Argentina. He said: "First of all, I would like to thank goalkeeper Martinez for his final save, which allowed us to win the game! This is also my 1,000th official game, and I enjoy it very much. My family has always been with me, the children are growing up, and they watched my game on the spot, and I feel very happy. This game is dedicated to all those who support Argentina. The energy and enthusiasm they convey are incredible. We are one step closer to our ultimate goal, and the next game against the Netherlands will be very intense."
Argentina won very thrillingly, and there are many details in the game that were not done well enough. Head coach Scaloni said: "This game is very difficult, and we almost paid an irreparable price. In the last few minutes we were thrilling, and this situation should not have happened. We had the opportunity to 'kill' the game. Lautaro has saved Argentina many times, but I still believe him. Next, facing the Dutch team, I look forward to playing against Van Gaal ."
Australia adheres to its tradition, switches back and forth between grabbing and controlling, has decisive substitutions, and has a good tactical literacy, and has the chance to equalize the score at the last moment. After experiencing the tortuous World Cup qualifiers and the thrilling World Cup group stage, " Kangaroo Legion " entered the knockout stage again after 2006 and played a high-quality game with the Argentina team. From this perspective, the Australian team can leave with their heads raised.
