Before such a focus battle, a war of words is naturally inevitable. As France's number one star, Mbappe's provocative remarks were revealed by the media. This also angered Argentine fans, who hoped that Messi could show off his power in the final and slap Mbappe hard in the face.

World Cup final is regarded as a showdown between Messi and Mbappe superstars, which is particularly eye-catching. Before such a focus battle, a war of words is naturally inevitable. As France's number one star, Mbappe's provocative remarks were revealed by the media. This also angered Argentine fans, who hoped that Messi could show off his power in the final and slap Mbappe hard in the face.

Mbappe's first remarks that were uncovered came from half a year ago, in May this year. Mbappe publicly stated in an interview, "Argentina and Brazil did not have any high-level competition before the World Cup. In South America, football is not as advanced as Europe. This is why when you look at the last few World Cups, European teams always win."

This naked provocation aroused the anger of many Argentine stars at the time. At the time when the European and American Cup was over, Argentina defeated Italy with three goals. Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez said, "Many Brazilian and Argentine players play in European giants. Don't these players mean something?"

Argentina captain Messi did not directly attack, but he also hit back at Mbappe, "Italy represents the European team, although they did not qualify for the World Cup." competition, isn’t their competitive level good enough? They're still a great team. "

Under Mbappe's remarks, this World Cup final has become a showdown between the two continents of Europe and South America. No wonder even Brazilian superstars like Ronaldo and Rivaldo have publicly expressed their support for Argentina to win the championship. After all, they represent South American football. The president of the Brazilian Football Association Sarney also made it clear that we are all Argentinians at this moment. It can unite the two feuding enemies of Brazil and Argentina, which shows the power of Mbappe's words.

Recently, before the start of the World Cup final, another provocative statement by Mbappe was disclosed by a friend. He still believes that C Ronaldo is the first-class star and the GOAT among stars. If anyone thinks Messi is better than Ronaldo, he will debate with you for at least an hour, because Ronaldo means everything to Mbappe.

As we all know, the dispute between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has been the main theme of international football for a long time in the past. When Cristiano Ronaldo gradually lost his form, Messi is still in great form and has clearly surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo. However, a superstar like Mbappe, holding such a view, will undoubtedly detonate public opinion again.

South American football is no worse than European football, and Messi is better than Ronaldo. This is the task facing Argentina in the World Cup final. They need to slap Mbappe in the face with their performance and turn his ignorant remarks into a joke.

But to be fair, if everyone is playing with full strength, Argentina's overall strength should still be lower than France. What can Messi and his teammates do to defeat France?

The first point is to tighten the fence and take good defense. All previous World Cup finals have almost always ended within one goal, and the competition is all about patience and seeing who makes the first mistake. It is said that Argentina may play five defenders in the final, which shows that they are still very wary of the opponent's impact. If Argentina can hold on to the city and not lose, Argentina goalkeeper Martinez should play a huge role in the penalty shootout. The French team is not trustworthy in this regard - in the last European Cup, they lost to Switzerland in the penalty shootout, and Mbappe also missed a penalty kick.

The second point is that we must grasp the positioning ball and strive for a successful sneak attack to gain the upper hand. In the 2006 World Cup final, the French team also had a clear advantage in the midfield, but Italy relied on a corner kick attack and Materazzi scored with a header. In the end, the two sides were tied and entered a penalty shootout, with Italy winning. Compared with France, Argentina will definitely not have the upper hand in the confrontation, but set kicks may become the key to Argentina's victory. Messi is very familiar with both free kicks and penalty kicks. Argentine players are generally short and flexible, and it is easy to create set kick opportunities.

The third point is to seize the opportunity to counterattack.Argentina does not have a big center on the front line. Fighting for high-altitude balls is not their advantage, but their small and quick characteristics can be brought into play. Judging from this World Cup, the biggest hole in the French team's defense is behind Mbappe. He basically does not return to defend, and the left back Theo is an assisting full-back, so Argentina has a good chance on this side. It is worth noting that France has conceded almost every game before, and was also besieged by Morocco in the last round and almost lost the gate. Argentina's offensive ability is much stronger than Morocco, and there will definitely be a chance to counterattack.

If these three points can be done well, I personally think that Argentina still has a great chance of defeating France. In any case, Mbappe's provocative remarks are a bit mindless and really ruin his character. I believe not many people will support France to win the championship.
