The Argentina Selection of Lionel Scaloni is already classified to Qatar World Cup 2022: Although he could not beat the leader Brazil (it was 0-0 in San Juan), the results of his competitors were favorable and he secured at least the fourth position in the South American Qualifiers, so he will be in the next World Cup.
The best news of the year for the national team, in addition to this ticket and winning the Copa América 2021 after 28 years of drought, is the fact of having formed a TEAM, and I put it in capital letters for all that this means: identity, companionship, sacrifice, associated play, commitment.
What does Argentina play? Do you have a marked identity or do you go out to see what happens? Today these questions can be answered easily and with certainty, clearly stating that the “Scaloneta”, as the Argentine fans nicknamed the team, goes out to the games knowing what their duty is, and with all their players involved in their role.
Today the “Messidependence“It no longer exists and that, although many have not yet realized it, is the most positive thing we can get out of what this DT cycle is giving us.
That is, of course, thanks to the coaching staff but also and fundamentally to the players themselves, who have realized that the most comfortable way to surround the best footballer in the world, and probably in history, is to use it when necessary, and not base 100% stake on your football and on your feet, as it becomes very preferable and easy for the opponent.
What’s more, we are not talking about “Messi and 10 more “: Let us bear in mind that they are all National Team players, most of them starters in important teams in Europe and standing out every time they have to play, so depending on a single footballer would only be to hinder things.
Do we need Messi? Yes of course. In the Copa América he was the most outstanding player, being decisive as only he knows, and in the structure of any team he is the undisputed starter. But that is not the same as depending exclusively on him, something that even Leo himself has not felt comfortable with throughout his career.
He is going to define matches for you alone, he is going to take care of pulling an ace up his sleeve to open a hermetic match, he is going to continue doing all that, but messidependence has disappeared and today, allow me, is another reason for celebration.
