RangersMedia 35,961 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I don't know why I'm so surprised, given I watched this Argentina side stumble their way through qualification No direction, no game plan, no strategy. Nobody makes space for Messi - the team is full of people who want want want the ball. Sampaoli thought he could get away with just putting a few quality players on the pitch and hoping they do something. Can't do that. The difference between Ronaldo/Portugal and Messi/Argentina is incredible. Portugal actually play to Ronaldo's strengths - everything rotates around him and, they're solid at the back so when he's having a rare off-day the defence rarely leaks goals. Argentina don't. They rely on Messi massively but don't do enough to support him. At Barcelona, every single footballer on the pitch knows they play FOR Messi basically.

And they two (with Brozovic) going up against an old Mascherano and Perez in midfield is a complete mis-match! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Lo Celso hasn't had a game yet. Cesc Fabregas was spot on at half time 2 minutes ago, tm91 said: This is it, basically. Argentina don't adapt to Messi, they just blindly hope he can get them out of trouble every game. We're getting to the point now where you can start to safely say that Argentina has wasted Leo Messi. They've been given arguably the greatest professional footballer the world has ever known and he's completely wasted on them. Maradona only won a World Cup because he had an excellent manager and a structured side around him. Messi has had shit managers no structure, no tactical nous and an incompetent FA his entire stint. And he's still their top scorer ever. If I was manager of Argentina and saw Messi flourish at club level, I'd have replicated whatever the fuck Barca play into the national team. I know that's easier said than done, but would have at least attempted it. Although in saying that mate, they were one Higuain-fluffed-chance away from winning the World Cup in 2014 and a bawhair away from a couple of Copa Americas.
