Messi Tango dance is superb
like a god descending to earth, Messi, who was walking in magical dance steps, entered the penalty area and cooperated with his teammate Alvarez to dance happily two-player Tango . The ball hit the net and completely killed Croatia , Pampas Eagles head up to the final...
Argentina's legend Maradona , in the 1986 World Cup, the long-distance run by five people in England, was once called "Century Goal". Maradona was only 25 years old that year, at its peak; today Messi's performance was described by many people as "rd century assist ", and Messi is already 35 years old and is about to bid farewell to his career in green.
Argentina is the hometown of tango, and Argentine football also has a tango flavor. Just as Brazilian football is as passionate as samba , Argentina football is always like their tango, full of boldness, elegance and romance. For Argentines, tango and football are cultures that melt in their blood.
Messi is subtle and free-spirited, skillful and delicate in playing football. He has always had his own "tango dance steps" on the football field. This is a wonderful night, and the expected battle between Argentina and Croatia is scheduled as scheduled. Messi jumping into tango makes football more beautiful and makes fans all over the world intoxicated.
Indeed, Messi demonstrated his magical football skills in this game. When the game was 69 minutes old, he started from the midfield and drove the ball along the right, almost singled out a defense line between Croatia. Starting up, changing direction, turning around, turning back, then swaying left and right, and making a dodge. Messi's dance steps made the No. 1 defender of this World Cup mess up, and he was fooled by him three times. He watched him knock the ball back to the middle, and Alvarez received the ball and scored...
When this goal appeared, almost everyone's mind was not on the outcome of the game, and they were talking about Messi. Just when he was on duty, Messi took the penalty and scored a penalty for Argentina and was named the best in this game. He played 6 games and won the best in 4 games. He is currently tied for first place in the scorer list and assist list, and he also ranked first in the key pass data. In the semi-finals, he crushed the best defender in the entire World Cup. Outrageous? It can't be more outrageous, but because he is Messi, everything has become reasonable.
Let’s take a look at the evaluations in all aspects! First look at the media: ESPN called Messi's performance "exciting", and CNN commented: "Although Messi's superhuman ability has declined in his twilight years, when Argentina needs him, the magician can still bring a genius performance." Associated Press lamented: "For Messi, 35, there is no better performance than this." Reuters wrote: " Croatian tried his best to control the scene, but Messi took the game from them."
in an article in the Argentina's "Ole" said The West turned this night into a "perfect night", "Argentina has a player who can do what other players cannot." BBC also said that Messi's last dance in the World Cup will continue to the last scene: " Qatar World Cup is expected to become Messi's World Cup." In the description of " Guardian ", Messi is "irresistible"; and in the view of Spain's " Marca ", Messi's magical performance destroys the strong defense of Croatia. As long as the Argentina wins the championship, the discussion on "who is the best in history" in the football world will end.
After the one-night tango show, Messi also made many history again: 11 goals in the World Cup became the World Cup scorer in the history of Argentina; 5 goals in a single World Cup, the first in Argentina's history; tied with the German team Matteus in 25 games to become the player participating in the World Cup; completed passes and shots in 4 games in a single World Cup, becoming the first since statistics; participated in the World Cup 19 goals and tied the highest record since statistics...
At the same time, there are also many insiders who praise Messi: German football legend Schweinsteiger said after the game: "I watched Messi's performance tonight, what a great performance!" It is worth mentioning that this game is also the 10th time Messi was elected as the best in the World Cup in a single game, setting a new historical record. After the game, the one who awarded him the Best Player Trophy was the retired former teammate and friend Aguero . Aguero also praised his friends' excellent performance: "Messi is the most important player in this World Cup." At the same time, he also "confessed" to Messi in person, "This is what you deserve, my friend, I love you!"
Similarly, Messi's teammate De Paul was also given a "confession". He commented on the social media updates posted by Messi after the game: "I hope you enjoy it. This journey is the best to live with you. Thank you captain, I love you." Former Barcelona teammate Suarez also wrote through the Internet: "You are always showing that you are the best in the world, and everyone has to stand up and applaud everything you do for football." Goalkeeper Martinez compared Messi's body to the more fragrant "old wine" it is: "His body is incredible, and every game he has is the best in the game." Defender Taliafico said: "When you see everything Messi does, you will want to continue running, it's like a disease Same."
In the view of Argentine coach Scaloni, Messi's importance no longer needs more language: "Whenever the Argentine says Messi is the best in the world, it seems a bit boasting, but I don't think there is any doubt about this. It is my honor to be able to coach him. Fortunately, he wears an Argentine jersey." And the opponent conquered by Messi - Croatian coach Dalic sighed: "Messi is the best player in the world. He is full of threats. He can bring different effects with one action."
This is the second time that Messi led Argentina to the finals after the 2014 World Cup. In Messi's own opinion, the atmosphere of this team is full of fighting spirit. "I don't know if this is my best World Cup, but for a long time, I enjoyed it. We know our abilities, so I hope people believe in Argentina!"
However, before the game, both Argentina and Messi were facing unprecedented pressure to know the power of Croatia. Argentina was once 3:0 by this opponent in the last World Cup. Moreover, because the loss of the frontcourt with the Netherlands was too large, especially the suspension of Akuña , the defense line was tight. After the game started, the offense and defense rhythm of both sides changed very quickly, and the physical confrontation was fierce enough. Both sides only had one shot in the first 25 minutes.
Croatian midfielder has Brozovic sorting, Modric outs and straight passes, and Kovacic strong push, so their ball control can be kept close to 60%, making Argentina dare not attack rashly. Argentina's advancement is not so smooth. Tagliafico was not fast at first, and DePaul and Molina also had to keep at least one person's attention. Many times, Messi needs to retreat to the midfield to catch the ball and move forward. They only need to rely on Alvarez's frontcourt to suppress it alone. The Argentina team's goal to break the deadlock was a steal from the midfield strangle battle. With Paredes, who is no longer nailed to a single midfielder after , Enzo, who is skilled in long passes this time, played the role of a long pass. Alvarez broke into the penalty area and picked the goalkeeper, collided with the opponent's goalkeeper, and won a controversial penalty kick.
penalty kick was taken by Messi. It is estimated that all Messi fans are even more nervous than him. Fortunately, Boss Messi successfully withstood the pressure and Argentina is extremely lucky.Croatia, which was trailing 0:1, could only attack, but they soon suffered a second critical blow. Argentina took advantage of the opportunity to successfully defend the corner kick. Messi sent to receive the second pass . Alvarez received the ball from the center line and performed a thousand-mile solo. He actually completed the wall-kicking style with two Croatian players, and finally scored a single goal.
It should be said that falling behind by two goals at halftime was a fatal blow to Croatia, and psychology was naturally a major factor. On the other hand, although they defended tenaciously, they had no other good offensive methods other than playing high and high. In addition to surviving the start of the second half through running and high-intensity pressing, Argentina made the opponent even more impatient and uneasy. So, we saw Messi's wonderful assist and Alvarez's goal...
This battle was once regarded as a battle between the two "Mr. Ballon d'Or". Messi and Modric, the core players of the two teams, were both World Footballer . However, Messi was brilliant in this game. Modric was replaced early after the team fell behind by three goals. After leaving the field, Magic Flute finally couldn't control his emotions and shed sad tears. This scene was very heartbreaking to watch. Heroes cherish heroes. Immediately after the final whistle, Messi came over and hugged Modric. The two golden ball players created this classic historical moment.
Croatian fighters can compete for third place with their heads held high
For Croatia, the last runner-up, although it is a bit regretful that they failed to return to the finals, it is already another miracle that this group of veterans made it to the semi-finals. A country with only four million people, which has emerged from constant war and poverty, eliminated the top favorite, Brazil, and performed well in this game. If it weren't for bad luck and missed the first penalty kick, it would be hard to say what happened next. I hope they can continue their bravery in the bronze medal game later.
Against the background of utilitarian football becoming popular, only one of the top four in this World Cup is Argentina, which focuses on technical football. Therefore, they can enter the final and leave a bright spot for this World Cup. As for their opponent in the final, I predict that there is a high probability that it will be the French team (of course it is a miracle that Morocco continues to be upset). If the final becomes a confrontation between the two major schools of Europe and South America, it will be the best fate for this World Cup. Because the European power in world football has been too strong in recent years, South American teams have not been seen in the top four or even the top eight of several World Cups.
The South American team's Uruguay and Mexico were eliminated early, and the Brazilian team has also left. Fortunately, there is still Argentina. If football loses its charming short-passing coordination and beautiful sharp attacks, and loses its focus on dexterous techniques and artistic pursuits, and becomes a power-based and collision-based game, it becomes a high-flying game and defensive counterattacks , and it becomes practical, conservative and utilitarian, then it is really a tragedy for world football, and also a tragedy for the World Cup.
fell in love with football because he watched the video of the 1978 World Cup final for the first time. The opponents in that final were the Netherlands and Argentina. Moreover, Argentina was still the champion of that session, and it was also the first time in their history that they won the Hercules Cup. This was how my fate with Argentine football was forged.
Kempes, Passarella, Redondo, Maradona, Caniggia, Crespo, Batistu... The generations of stars from Pampas have brought Argentine football to peaks again and again. In this era that belongs to Messi, he is dancing with gorgeous tango steps to lead the Argentina team to new glory! We are looking forward to this!
