We all know how much Lionel Messi wanted to lift the world cup in his hands. Because the biggest criticism of Lionel Messi was that he could not play in the Argentina national team as he played with the Barcelona jersey. If they win the world cup, maybe they will have answered everyone about it. Messi is one of the best players of all time. The world cup is so important that the biggest sadness in his career is the lack of it. This is the last chance for Messi and Ronaldo. They both want this trophy very much.
Because of that basis Leonel Messi could not be said to be incarnated by Maradona, at the Messi club level has won many titles, but for the country he has not been able to give anything, this is the last opportunity for him to prove. If this time fails, then it is certain he will close his career without being able to win the World Cup
The argument is that Messi always perform well for his club side, but he never repeats that while representing the Argentine national team. Previously it was rumored that he was not in good terms with the coach, as well as with some of the other players. But the performance in Copa America rubbishes these allegations. Argentina won the title for the 15th time, and Messi was the top scorer (as well as the winning captain). From what I saw, the team bonding was excellent under the captaincy of Messi.
Most likely Messi does not have a suitable partner for him to play in the country, this is quite different when he is in the Barcelona club that has been won many titles, in his country there are no other players who are able to have a big impact on progress in winning the title, I think The Club's atmosphere with his country is quite different, this might not affect the contribution of Leonel Messi
It is difficult for Messi to achieve his ambitions here because even though he is great on an individual basis and the other players have also been very good but indeed sometimes their dominance in the Conmebol zone but obviously the world cup is not as simple as expected.
But for the title now I feel they will talk a lot but not in the knockout phase.
They will only go through the group stage but will never make it to the final I don't think.
Maybe this can be said to be true, usually the players will not be solid when playing for the country, because the duration of time to play together, so that to reach the final will be difficult, the game in each club will be far different when playing with the country, because Each coach has their own style and way, this makes the players not solid when playing for the country
