At 3 a.m. the day after tomorrow, in the quarterfinals of the Qatar World Cup, Argentina will compete for a place in the semi-finals of the Netherlands. As expected, Messi and Alvarez will be Argentina's starting line combination, and Mourinho's favorite player, Roma's offensive core Dybala will miss the starting lineup again, and even miss the appearance again.
Argentina is the champion of America's Cup , and is the first European and American Cup champion. It is one of the favorites to win the World Cup in Qatar , and it is also the most popular among the top 32. Argentina has made great progress under the leadership of head coach Scaloni. This World Cup is aiming for Hercules Cup . Argentina is united in order to help Messi as the throne of the football king.
In order to play to Argentina's sharp offensive advantage, Scaloni brought six forwards. In the past four games, Messi, Di Maria, Lautaro , Alvarez and Gomez all got opportunities, and only Dybala did not play for a minute.
Argentina's first game unexpectedly lost to Saudi team . When it urgently needed to strengthen the offense and strive to turn the tables, Dybala was ignored by Scaloni. Mexico was a key battle for Argentina to qualify, and Dybala sat on the bench once again to cheer for his teammates. Due to the previous two games, Lautaro performed poorly, and young player Alvarez became the starting striker and has since settled in the main position. Dybala did not get a chance to play in the third game of the group stage against Poland and Australia in the round of 16. So far, Dybala played 0 in four games. The shots left for Dybala are all Dybala rushing into the field to hug Messi and celebrate the victory.
Dybala really doesn't have the ability to start because he is Messi's substitute. As long as Messi is healthy, he will start, and Dybala will be very happy to see Messi be healthy. However, Dybala has no chance to play at once, which can only prove that Argentina coach Scaloni is indeed not interested in Dybala.
As long as Messi can help Argentina win the World Cup championship, Dybala is very happy to serve as a substitute and is willing to be the captain of the Argentina cheerleader. Mourinho will also be happy to see Dybala not having to fight hard on the court. After the World Cup, Roma will welcome back a healthy Dybala.
This summer, Dybala ended her seven-year Juventus career. In order to maintain her form and compete in the World Cup, Dybala joined Roma as a free agent. Dybala played 12 times for Roma, and received 7 goals and 2 assists, helping Roma to reach the top four in Serie A.
In Rome's 2-1 defeat of Leceh , Dybala scored a penalty, but the Argentine striker was replaced 2 minutes after the goal was injured. Dybala had injured her thigh and was not completely cured until before the World Cup, and she barely caught up with the World Cup journey. After Dybala was injured, Roma's performance plummeted and now ranks seventh in Serie A.
Mourinho and Roma are waiting for Dybala to go back and help. Mourinho believes that with the return of injured players such as Dybala, Wijnaldum and Matic , Roma after the World Cup is able to enter the top four in Serie A and win an Champions League qualification.
