Chapter 68: Diego is like poetry, Messi is like prose

Zhu Ting had already fled and disappeared without a trace. Although he was not arrested by the police, he was only poked out by the "Sun", but his reputation was completely stinky, and the evening was not guaranteed. But now it's not a Chinese international, and no matter what, everyone can't control it.

This kind of news can only stir up some waves on the same day, and in the past, maybe fans may still care about Zhu Ting's lace news, but everyone cares more about the Chinese team's knockout opponents. So Zhu Ting's news that day quickly sank.

China is no longer a country that lives on lace news, and the Chinese team is more discussed on the Internet.

"If we win the group, we should qualify against the top of Group A?"

"I haven't decided who is the first in Group A, Russia and Uruguay, the host and Uruguay are not easy to play."

"Let's play Uruguay, Russia is the host after all, they are not weak after two consecutive wins, and then there is a host advantage, it is better to play Uruguay."

"You're not right! The key is to take the first place in the group and then go to the bottom half! I feel that the bottom half is safer, and there is a high probability that the strong teams will be in the top half. ”

"Alas, love is what it is, don't you have to win all your opponents to win the championship?"

"And it's only been two rounds now, and no one knows what's going on. Perhaps until the end of the third round, these speculations are meaningless. ”

After the second round, a number of teams were eliminated. For example, Iran and Egypt in Group A have said goodbye, and the Egyptian team with Egypt's Messi Salah has not escaped the aura of the host.

In Group B, Morocco will not be able to survive in the Group of Death of Portugal, Spain and China, who have already fallen off a cliff with half a foot.

France topped the group with 6 points from 2 wins, and the qualification situation is very good. Denmark is second with 1 win and 1 draw with 4 points, basically securing the qualifying place. Australia and Peru currently have 1 draw, 1 loss and 2 losses respectively, ranking third and fourth in the group.

Croatia in Group D has 2 wins and 6 points to lock up the qualification place in advance, and the situation of the remaining three teams is uncertain, among which Argentina, which has attracted much attention, is on the verge of elimination, and the remaining games must be won and the goal difference is greater than Iceland to be able to rank second in the group with 4 points.

Poor Messi, he is once again in a desperate situation. Being able to reach the knockout round has become the focus of the world's attention, and compared to Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo, he and his team have not performed well at all. The average fan thought that Argentina and Croatia could easily get points from Nigeria and Iceland, but after two rounds, that was not the case.

Argentina and Spain have both suffered similar situations and may be returning home after the group stage.

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

Batistuta, who has always been humble and reticent, becomes a lot of talk when it comes to the national team. In an interview with the newspaper "Ole", the god of war said angrily:

"One year, one year, and another."

"The national team is always setting up tactics around Messi, but the brutal truth tells us that Argentina is not Barcelona. Even if we win the Copa America now, we have to change something if we want to go far in the World Cup. ”

"Messi is really not Maradona!"

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

"Diego is the best footballer of all time. Diego represents Argentines in many ways, not just football, he has a rare charisma, talent and creativity. Even though Messi is technically excellent, and maybe even better, he can't surpass Diego, he doesn't have Diego's charisma. Diego can command the whole stadium to pay attention to him, I've played with him and I can tell you how decisive he is. ”

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

Barty said: "Compared to Diego, Messi can't let people into the dreamlike dimension of Diego, even if he trains hard every hour every day, he can't reach the state of Maradona, of course, not only him, but no one." There have also been many people who have doubted Messi in the past, but now there will be no more such arguments. Technically, Messi is perfect, he has scored more goals than anyone else. But for me, he's not Diego, and he'll probably never be able to catch up with Diego. ”

"That's why he can't lead Argentina out of the quagmire right now."

'I don't deny the credit for him leading the team to the Copa America, but I can't deny the dedication of Di Maria, Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain.

It looks like Batistuta thinks the reason why Argentina can't win the group stage of the World Cup is because of Messi.

"A lot of people say that Argentina without Messi is nothing. Because Argentina is worse without Messi, just look at the results of last year's World Cup qualifiers. ”

"However, is the national team strong with Messi? It's just a habit. When other players leave Messi, they don't play because everyone depends on Messi. Why? It's just because all your tactics revolve around Messi to play, so everyone won't play football! If there is a change over time, it will all be fine. ”

"It's a pity ......"

Batistuta still doesn't see hope, because it's too late.

Although there is still one group game to play, Batistuta is quite pessimistic.

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

"However, even if they qualify, they will not be able to move forward in the knockout round."

"Football can't just rely on luck, it has to rely on strength, although luck is also part of strength, but you have to have strength before you have luck."

"Let's think about the 2022 World Cup in China, it's more practical."

"Spain too, they don't have a chance. This year's champion should be between France and China. ”

Before the group stage was over, Batistuta began to predict the title.

In the past, Maradona would stand up for Messi and support Messi, but this time he didn't help Messi, since Messi fans scolded Maradona, Maradona was more disgusted than anyone.

"Although I hope Argentina can win more,"

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

"It's said that stumbling in the group stage is easier to win the championship, but we don't call it stumbling......"

"I've been waiting for 20 years, but I've never waited for a final, and I'm getting disappointed every year......
