Chapter 68: Diego is like poetry, Messi like prose

Zhu Ting had already escaped and disappeared without a trace. Although he was not arrested by the police, he was only exposed by the Sun, but his reputation was completely bad and he would not be safe in his later years. However, he is not a Chinese international player now, and no matter what, everyone can't control it.

Such news can only cause some storms on that day. In the past, fans might have cared about Zhu Ting's gossip news, but everyone cared more about the Chinese team's knockout opponents. So Zhu Ting's news that day soon sank.

China is no longer a country that relies on gossip news, and it is more about discussing the Chinese team online.

"If we win the first place in the group, should we qualify against the first place in Group A?"

"No one is sure of the first place in Group A. Russia and Uruguay, the host and Uruguay are not easy to play."

"It's better to fight Uruguay. Russia is the host after all. They are not weak in winning two consecutive games. And they have the advantage of hosts. It's better to fight Uruguay."

"Your idea is wrong! The key is to get the first place in the group and then go to the second half! I feel that the second half is safer, and there is a high probability that the strong teams are in the first half."

"Oh, just do whatever you like. Don't you win the championship and win all your opponents?"

"And now I have only played two rounds, and no one knows what happened next. Maybe until the third round ends, these guesses are meaningless."

After the second round, many teams were eliminated. For example, Iran and Egypt in Group A both worshipped, and the Egyptian team with Egypt Messi Salah could not escape the host halo.

Morocco in Group B could not survive in Portugal, Spain and China's team's death group, and Spain had already fallen off the cliff with half of its foot.

France ranked first in the group with a record of 6 points in 2 games, and the situation of qualifying was very good. Denmark ranked second with 1 win, 1 draw, 4 points, basically locked in the qualifying spot. Australia and Peru currently have 1 draw, 1 loss and 2 losses, ranking third and fourth in the group.

Croatia in Group D won 2 wins and 6 points to secure the promotion quota in advance. The situation of qualifying for the remaining three teams is not clear. Among them, Argentina, which has attracted much attention, is on the verge of elimination. In the remaining games, it must win all the goals and the goal difference is greater than Iceland before it can rank second in the group with a score of 4 points.

Poor Messi, he once again encountered a desperate situation. Being able to enter the knockout stage has become the most important focus in the world. Compared with Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo, he and his team performed not well at all. Ordinary fans originally thought that Argentina and Croatia could easily get points from Nigeria and Iceland, but after two rounds, the actual situation was not that true.

Argentina and Spain both encountered similar situations, maybe they were going to play until they returned home after the group stage.

Because of another bad performance, Argentine legend Batistuta stood up and bombarded Argentina and Messi.

Batistuta, who has always been humble and taciturn, becomes talkative as soon as he touches the national team. The God of War said angrily in an interview with The Ole:

“Year, year, year after year.”

"The national team is always tactical about Messi, but the cruel facts tell us that Argentina is not Barcelona. Even if we win the Copa America championship now, if we want to go further in the World Cup, we have to change something."

"Messi is really not Maradona!"

"He is not the best player in Argentina's history, he can't do everything Diego can do."

"Diego is the best football player ever. Diego represents the Argentinian in many ways, not just football, he has a rare personal charm, talent and creativity. Even if Messi is very good at technically and may even be better, he can't surpass Diego. He doesn't have the charm of Diego. Diego can command people on the entire court to pay attention to him, and I've played with him, and I can tell you how decisive he is."

"Diego is like poetry, and Messi is like prose."

Barty said: "Compared with Diego, Messi cannot enter the dreamy dimension of Diego. Even if he trains hard every hour every day, he cannot reach Maradona's state. Of course, it is not just him, no one can reach it. Many people have suspected Messi in the past, but there will be no such arguments now. From a technical point of view, Messi is perfect. He scored more goals than anyone else. But for me, he is not Diego and may never catch up with Diego."

"This is also the reason why he is unable to lead Argentina out of the quagmire now."

"I don't deny his contribution to leading the team to the Copa America championship, but I can't deny the efforts of Di Maria, Aguero and Higuain."

It seems that Batistuta believes that the reason why Argentina cannot win the World Cup group stage is because of Messi.

"Many people say that Argentina who leaves Messi is nothing. Because Argentina without Messi is worse, just look at the result of the difficult qualifying for the World Cup qualifiers last year."

"But, is it very strong with Messi? This is just a habit. When other players leave Messi, they become unable to play football because everyone depends on Messi. Why? Because all your tactics revolve around Messi, everyone will not play football! If there is a period of change, all this will be fine."

"pity……"

Batistuta still sees no hope because everything is too late.

Although there is still one group match that has not been played, Batistuta is quite pessimistic.

"I think Argentina can still win in the last game,"

"But even if they advance, they can't continue to move forward in the knockout round."

"Football cannot rely solely on luck, but also on strength. Although luck is also part of strength, you must have strength before you have luck."

"Let's think about the 2022 World Cup, which is more practical."

"Spain is the same, they have no chance. This championship should be between France and China."

Before the group stage ended, Batistuta began the championship prediction.

In the past, Maradona would stand up to support Messi and support Messi, but this time he would not help Messi anymore. Since Messi fans scolded Maradona, Maradona has been disgusted with anyone.

“Although I hope Argentina will win more,”

"But I really don't have any hope."

"It is said that stuttering in group stages is easier to win championships, but we are not called stuttering..."
