When we all feared in 2018 that Argentina may fail to qualify, I’m sure you and everyone felt that a World Cup without our NT is not a great WC. It was boring to see England and Croatia in the last 4. could be in it, yet they have no chance of being contenders. This is kind of absurd, especially when considering the U.S. Additionally, the reigning European Champions Italy could fail to be in the tournament whereas in the past this meant automatic qualification. Otherwise, Portugal would have qualified automatically. Btw, Portugal is unfairly in a playoff only because no VAR and a goal from CR7 was denied earlier in qualification. Wouldn’t you want to see Argentina knock out Portugal in the knockout rounds? Do you want to see Denmark vs Serbia in a round of 8 or Italy vs Germany? Will South Korea vs Poland draw high attendance ratings? This is why people (myself included) say WC needs Italy and Portugal. The problem with Mundo is people overreact to comments/opinions too much and unnecessarily. Imagine one without Argentina, Brazil, Germany, etc. The world cup does need star players and the traditional teams in it for marketing and global prestige. Will come here tomorrow to celebrate our king. Sorry for the haters, he is getting it tomorrow. The way people argue, going by that logic, some Tom Dick or harry should get the best actor Oscar award because they had a 2 mins side role in an Oscar winning movie. And yes he had a stellar year individually (Pichichi for a crappy Barca) and team wise too (Copa del Rey and Copa america). This is an award for best player in the world, not best striker only. I will be shocked if something else happens tomorrow. Well, he is going to win his 7th tomorrow, and fully deserved.

New fans in last 15 years associate Barcelona and Argentina because of Messi, but he is really an anomaly. Barcelona was always fond of Brazilian players and Real Madrid for Argentines. Villareal for Riquelme days and a little bit for Barcelona. Like Inter for Zanetti and so many others playing at the same time. There are history though which has led to some soft corner for some clubs. If you don’t have our players, I don’t have much of an interest. Winning the Copa America with his country after having so many things happen to him with the national team, he finally won it. He was also asked if Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d’Or:

They decide how to organize the team and my only objective is to be 100%.” And after that, it’s for him to decide with his coaching staff. Sometimes I am, sometimes I’m not but the important thing is to always be on top and to do your best for the coach to have another option. I want to play and always be in the starting eleven. On if he is ready to put in the effort to play in that position: And with quality players at PSG like Marco, Leandro or Gana, it could be done too but those are decisions for the coach.” In 2014, I played in the middle and I felt very good, very happy. For sure I love to play with the ball at my feet. “They are questions for him, the only thing I have done since arriving at PSG is giving my maximum when I am on the pitch. He is there to decide and for us to do as well as we can on the pitch, anywhere, in the middle, up front or anywhere else. The coach knows that I could play therre but they’re his decisions. It was my best year in 2014 with Real Madrid.

“I believe I already showed that I could play in that position. Speaking in the interview with RMC, here is what he had to say when asked if he can play centrally: However, the Argentine has also played centrally for Real Madrid.

Angel Di Maria spoke about playing centrally for PSG and Lionel Messi.ĭi Maria has been at PSG since 2015 and often plays on the wing for the club.
