On November 11, the Argentine head coach announced the 26-man roster participating in the Qatar World Cup. Locelso ultimately failed to catch the last bus of the World Cup due to injury. In fact, Locelso's absence has little impact on the overall Argentina team.
roster, as many as 23 of them are from the top five European leagues, which is far higher than the 2018 World Cup, and the remaining three players are from the Benfica team . These players from Argentina in this World Cup have been tested in the top European leagues.
goalkeepers, Argentina's goalkeeper has been relatively stable, and even occasionally has unexpected explosions. The main goalkeeper must be Martinez, the best goalkeeper in Cup of America in 2021. With his brave performance in the Copa America, head coach Scaloni favors him. Luli from La Liga as an alternative, Flanger can only be the third goalkeeper, and there is no problem in keeping Argentina's lower limit as a goalkeeper.
full-backs, Molina and Montel will continue the good form of last year's Copa America. The two of them performed very stably in the Copa America, one attacked and one defense, and one back and forth, ensuring that Argentina's defense line can always have sufficient defenders to participate in the defense, but once these two people participate in the offense at the same time, Argentina's defense line will be relatively empty.
In terms of central defenders, Argentina's central defender has many choices left for Scaloni. Romero from Premier League Tottenham and Lisandro from Manchester United . The two have fierce defense and strong stealing and positioning skills, which will become the first choice for the head coach. The only disadvantage is that they lack prevention and control capabilities.
In the midfield, de Paul and Paresde play a role in the team that connects front and back. Since Messi's position in is further retreating, these two people have to undertake more defensive tasks.
In terms of the front line, Lautaro is the most important part of the technical and tactical links on the entire front line. He needs to be a siege hammer when attacking to create more space for his teammates. When defending, he needs to put pressure on his opponents as soon as possible. Veteran Di Maria can use his experience, skills and footwork to bring some unexpected changes to the team when the team is unable to start the situation for a long time.
Messi should not talk too much about the significance of this team. All Scaloni's skills and tactics are arranged around Messi. The good or bad performance of Messi will directly affect Argentina's performance.
There is no problem with Argentina qualifying for the group in this World Cup. When entering the knockout stage, you need to need more resilience and patience to play the game well.
Overall, Argentina is a team with strong championship strength.
