Understand defeat and achieve victory
If any doubt of this sport, if any of them underestimated or believed to have the answers, they will no longer do so. It's unpredictable. And even more in a World Cup. Argentina has lost 2-1 against Saudi Arabia in the debut corresponding to Group C. Impensed since the beginning, it will do for a long time and will be sealed in the books of great world stories, because, although we fart, it was like this: a historic battalion.
Football does not understand logic or merit. And much less justice. It's wild and undressed. The final result is the closest to a party's target reflection. Because at the end and at the end, it is of little use to transfer the ball from one side to another, to merry through the areas and to fill the rival arch with shots, if what ends by making the difference is that the ball enters the opposite arch; that was the key that gave it the worldist triumph to Saudi Arabia for the fourth time in its history.
A controversial VAR and three offside goals deprived Argentina of increasing the advantage in various opportunities. In addition to the lack that felt the team due to the absence of Lo Celso, the team failed to find the course at any time of the party. A vague defense, a dispersed midfield and an isolated attack (Messi-Lautaro Martínez) reflected a very distant selection of the one that won the Copa América and Finalíssimo, the one that conquered us and fell in love from the beginning.
But I've heard and I've read that football rematches. And on this occasion the opportunity to change the page - and the story - is much closer to what is believed. Saturday will be the day that will define whether Argentina follows or not in the World Cup, not mathematics, but emotionally. Life brings you proof, challenges, obstacles. You put sticks on the wheel. I sink you and hurt you. But it never stops killing you. The last word always has the protagonists and in this case are the players. They have the possibility of going out into the countryside and deigning the country - and themselves - with a victory. It depends on them. It depends on us.
The phrases of Messi
“We have to go back to the bases,” said the captain and referent Leo Messi. The ordered game, delivery and humility have to appear again on Saturday against Mexico. When something works, there's no need to change or lose sight. And if anything serves defeat against Saudi Arabia, it is to remember that one must never underestimate a team (a lot less in a World), the intensity cannot be regular and opportunities must be realized. So and everything, there are two lives: Mexico and Poland.
“Let people trust that we will not leave her taken”, was another of the sentences of number 10. Accordingly, the team was very attentive to the other party of the group (Polonia-Mexico), which favorably for Argentina ended in a tie 0-0, which caused a very strong internal arenga. Argentina depends on itself to classify the final eighth and, perhaps, that is the most solid vote of trust than the Selection.
Should the team change?
“Equipa that wins is not played”, is a popular phrase widely used within football. Just as the losing team gets very exposed, and usually suffers modifications. This is the situation by which the Argentine coach is passing. Cuti Romero, Nahuel Molina and “Papu” Gomez would be under the magnifying glass for the next party. Who could come in? Lisandro Martínez, Gonzalo Montiel and Enzo Fernández, as top candidates.
All together
We need to identify and become aware of the moment that goes through. It's very delicate. No one expected that the first game. No one expected him now. But in life not everything develops as one wants or plans. You have to get your head up and move on. The group stage lasted a party. Argentina plays the 32nd final on Saturday against Mexico and in case of passing, it will play the next round against Poland on Wednesday at the same time. It's not a time of criticism or judgment. It's time we all stick together in spite of the priest. Often the worst rival of Argentina is Argentina, or better said its people. That is, us. You. Me. But this has to change and it has been shown what happens when we all hold strong and forbid entry to anyone else from outside. As happened in Brazil. As you have to spend on Saturday. All together.
