Is the Argentina national team without Messi still Argentina?
You have to ask Maradona this question, I believe the King of Football will give you a rough and correct answer.
In the northern hemisphere in November, the coldest winter is in, and in Buenos Aires in November, it is the best season for spring flowers to bloom.
On the last international competition day in 2018, the Argentina Four Kingdoms Invitational summoned Zhuo Yang, but lacked Leo Messi, who should have been the master.
FIFA has 203 member states, and for the vast majority of them, the World Cup round of 16 is a gratifying achievement, even to glorify the family, but in Argentina, people mainly argue whether the international players should jump into the sea or jump into the cliff.
After stopping in the round of 16, Boss Mei announced his withdrawal from the national team in Russia. This was his second withdrawal. He had a firm withdrawal two years ago when he failed the 2016 Copa America final.
Is he serious about quitting? Of course.
Many newlywed families have made marriage conventions, ranging from how to how the wages and income of both parties are distributed, not cheating, or small, not to be angry after a quarrel, and seem to be thorough and foolproof. In fact, this is of no use.
Who has not made a vow to make a vow? What can be done does not require a convention, and even if the convention is formulated as a so-called Siku Quanshu, it will be a waste of time.
When you fall in love, you are serious, but when you don’t love each other, you are serious.
In ancient times, there were three visits to the cottage, but now Messi withdrew from the national football team three times. Zhuo Yang said: Do you believe it or not, Boss Mei has to do it at least once again.
After this summer's World Cup, many famous players in the football world officially announced their withdrawal from their respective national teams, including Grandpa Mo, General Pig, Scar, Xiaobai, Pique, Little Ma Ge, Derby, Subacic, Biglia, etc.
People, they are really serious.
It is said that after the start of the new season, Boss Mei, who entered the Sage Time, gave three conditions.
1: There must be a head coach with clear tactics.
During the coaching period of Sanbaoli, Argentina's starting lineup was not fixed in every game, and there was no clear tactical style.
During the World Cup, it was revealed that Sang Pauli even had to ask Messi for his opinion on substitutions. The outside world criticized Messi for affecting the coach's arrangement and tactical style. Some media even directly stated that the Argentine national team is Messi's.
Team of friends'.
Messi believes that the new coach must have enough courage and prestige and cannot compromise with the players' demands.
Boss Mei means: I can do it, but you can't let me take the blame.
2: Messi requires his role in the national team to be clearer;
Argentina's national team is brilliant, but the past few coaches have not been able to combine these excellent players into a whole. In most cases, they fight on their own. When they encounter difficulties, they all hope that Messi can be at critical moments.
Play the role of savior.
Messi's position has never been fixed and has been swinging between the midfield and the forward. Therefore, Messi hopes that his positioning in the national team can be clearer and form a fixed set of tactical play.
I am old and can't be both a father and a mother. Is it me to score a goal, or to withdraw the pass or to me? Do you treat me as Zhuo Yang or as a castrated mule? I just want to score more goals and serve me in the future
good.
3: It is required that the Argentine Football Association be able to resolve internal conflicts and struggles and do its best to provide logistics support to the national team.
This is serious. The Argentine Football Association has been quite chaotic, which has affected the preparations for the national team to a certain extent.
Before the World Cup started, Messi even paid for the Argentine Football Association out of his own pocket. There had been a situation where Messi paid for security fees. Messi hoped to end this chaotic situation, and the Football Association had the obligation to provide good logistics support for the national team and
ability.
Boss Mei longs for himself to have absolute authority like Zhuo Yang, so that the Afghan Football Association will not dare to slack off like the Chinese Football Association.
Zhuo Yangxin said: It’s not that I target Argentina. As long as I really want to do one thing well, when it comes to our collective concept and organizational ability, everyone here is rubbish.
In fact, when Messi withdrew two years ago, he had three rules. So the nature of this thing is the same as the family convention within marriage.
Maybe Messi himself didn't take it seriously.
In September, Boss Mei agreed with the national team that he would not be recruited this year at least. Look.
Not only was there no Messi, but this Argentina training camp also did not summon Aguero, Di Maria and others. After two days of rest after the Manchester City derby, Zhuo Yang's special plane brought Li Zi, Eunuch Chiang, and Otamendi.
Manchester United two Monroe Romero, heading directly from Manchester City Ste to Buenos Aires.
For this Four-Country Invitational Tournament, the organizer Argentina invited the Chinese team, Mexico and Uruguay. The names are very serious, but the competition is not serious.
There is no match and no cycle. Each team plays two games according to each other's intentions. The Chinese team plays Mexico for the first time and Argentina for the second time. Six players are allowed to be replaced in each game.
In the World Cup, Mexico lost to Brazil and stopped in the round of 16. Head coach Juan Osorio and the Mexican Football Association, whose contract expired, had no intention of renewing each other and broke up.
Colombian Osorio is 57 years old and plays midfielder in a player-time, but he only has a short five-year career and has to retire due to injury at the age of 26.
Since 2001, Osorio has been a first-team assistant coach at Manchester City for five years. In 2005, with Keegan being dismissed, Osorio also left Manchester City and has been in charge of the team alone since then.
After traveling across the American continent, I picked up the Mexican teaching stick in 2015.
After Osorio left office, Ricardo Ferreti, the head coach of the Tiger University team in the Messe League, was appointed as the interim coach again. This is not his first time, nor is it the first time.
Second time.
Ferreti is a Brazilian, and he is a Brazilian international in the era of Zico, Socrates, Falcao, and Santana. After playing and being good, he has been repeatedly struggling in Mexican football.
Very connected.
This is his third time as interim coach of the Mexico national team. Of course, he failed to become a regular player in the first two times. Ferreti is not a salted fish, so he naturally thought that he would be fine.
This Argentina Four-Country Invitational Tournament is also the last international competition day in 2018, which is equivalent to Ferreti's big test. At such a big age, there are not many opportunities.
In the previous four warm-up matches, Ferreti led Mexico to lose 3 and 1, losing to Uruguay, the United States and Chile, and narrowly defeated Costa Rica 3-2. Whether he can become a regular team and lead the team to participate in next year's Central and North American Cup, it depends on this time.
How are the Chinese team and Argentina?
Unfortunately, goalkeeper Ochoa, midfielder Miguel Layun, and forward Raul Jimenez, all three of the absolute main players missed the training camp for their respective reasons.
In the 18th World Cup in Russia, Mexico played against Brazil, the old captain Rafael Marcos started and took the lead as the midfielder. At the age of 39 years and 139 days, he became the oldest player in the World Cup starting point since 1954.
It was the one who stole watches in Barcelona and bullied Xiao Bu and was beaten by Zhuo Yang.
Marcos participated in five World Cups and maintained this record with Buffon, Mattus, and Mexico's legendary goalkeeper Carvajal. It's a pity that Buffon would have enjoyed six games if Italy hadn't been out of Russia.
Marcos not only served five times, but also 1/8 of five times, and even 5 times, which is better than the others. After the World Cup, Marcos announced his withdrawal from the national team and retired, ending his 23-year-old player.
And 20 years of international career.
It’s better to retire, so as not to be embarrassed to meet Zhuo Yang.
