Can Messi reach the top in Qatar ?
In his fifth and last World Cup, Messi finally broke the embarrassment of 0 goals in the knockout stage. The next step is to end his history of 0 World Cup championships?
Messi was elected the best player in the game.
Lautaro + Lukaku , Inter Milan fans cried
The victory made Argentine fans ecstatic, but at the last moment of the game, Argentine fans were also scared.
In the 77th minute, the score had reached 2-1. After that, Argentina had many opportunities to continue to expand the score, but the forward Lautaro, who was once again and again, was missed by the substitute striker Lautaro, and was almost equalized by the opponent...
's open shot missed, the half-single shot was rejected by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the penalty area shot was saved by the goalkeeper... At this moment, the fans exclaimed that Lautaro was "belonged" by his Inter Milan forward partner Lukaku.
Lautaro was infected by his club partner?
data shows that Lukaku, who has returned home, missed the absolute scoring opportunity 4 times, and Lautaro also missed 3 times, making him the top two players who have not scored.
In the World Cup, Inter Milan's two stars were in tune with each other and played "happy football".
Fortunately, Argentina is not Belgium , there is no lazy morale, and some are the forwards and defenders who are dedicated to their lives. At the last moment of the game, it was Argentine goalkeeper Damian Martinez who stepped forward and saved the Australian team's extremely threatening shot.
Lautaro missed 3 scoring opportunities.
After the game, Damian Martinez did not take the credit to himself: "Messi is 99.9% of the team. When things don't go well, we will do our best to help him.We have the best players in the world and we will fight to the end. "
Regarding Lautaro's "war criminal-level" performance, fans said that he should "kowtow" to Messi and Damian Martinez.
There are also many unsatisfied fans flocking to Lautaro's social media to blame him...
If Lautaro's chance is handed over to Aguero (middle in the back row), what will be the result?
But fortunately, compared to Lukaku who left the game sadly after spitting out cakes, Lautaro can at least move forward with the team and get the opportunity to continue proving himself.
just don’t use "happy football" to add burden to the hearts of fans…
Dumfries (Part 2) contributed two assists in this game and scored a goal.
US Li is not important, the hard truth to win
Before Argentina defeated Australia, the Netherlands had firmly won the first quarterfinals of this World Cup. In the opening game of the knockout match, the Netherlands defeated the United States 3-1 with goals from Depp , Blinder and Dumfries, successfully advanced to the quarterfinals .
played in the group stage and the scene was "ugly", but he could always remain unbeaten and advance steadily; after entering the knockout round, the team gradually played in a state... This trend seems to make people smell a little "champion appearance".
veteran Blinder scored a goal.
Just like Blinder who scored the goal said: "As long as we win, criticism is meaningless to us. "As mentioned, no matter whether the scene looks good or not, winning is the bottom line on the football field.
In fact, although the overall strength is definitely not the best in this World Cup, the Dutch team's desire for championship is not inferior to other teams at all.
In the words of coach van Gaal , "There are three games waiting for us, and I have always said that the Dutch team can become the world champion. "
Van Gaal's playing style is pragmatic and efficient.
Even if the team's strength is not top-notch, "Chef Fan" is confident that it will make it difficult for the opponent to swallow. "The stronger the opponent, the less they may be adapted to the Dutch team system. I don't think Spain, France, and Argentina will adapt to the Dutch team's style of play, so we have a great chance. ”
After defeating the US team, Van Gaal has coached and participated in the World Cup 8 wins, 3 draws and 11 consecutive games (regular time).
From the historical perspective, the Netherlands has played against Argentina five times in the World Cup, and Argentina has fallen a little behind. However, in the 2014 World Cup, the two teams entered the penalty shootout and the Argentina team laughed the last time.
Depp opened the first record for the Netherlands team. .
. When Messi led the team, Argentina remained unbeaten against the Netherlands twice in the World Cup - a 50-0 draw in the 2006 World Cup group stage, followed by a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup.
In this way, the Argentina led by Messi faces the Netherlands, and both teams have never scored goals in regular time before. Whether this deadlock can be broken this time is worth the fans' expectations.
