Reda Selim (Dubai) The Argentine stadiums witnessed the appearance of a player named Joaquin Messi, wearing the number 10 shirt, who recently joined Newell’s Old Boys, and participated in the first meeting with the team, putting Messi’s name on the shirt from the back, which sparked controversy on the communication sites. , between endorsing and asking the player to change his name. The ESPN sports website revealed the appearance of a player bearing the Argentine title, Messi, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, and the new Messi plays in Newell’s Old Boys, the same team from which Lionel, captain of the “Tango” national team, started his football career. ESPN said that Joaquin Messi plays for Newell’s Old Boys and wears the No. 10 shirt carried by his compatriot, legend Lionel Messi, the Saint-Germain star. Joaquin Messi, 19, has no family relationship with the star Messi, although he bears the same family surname, and lives in the village of Coronel Arnold, near Rosario, Messi’s hometown. Joaquín Messi says: “Many fans ask me if there is a connection between me and Messi, but it is just a ‘coincidence’, because the village from which I come, there are three families bearing the same family name. The captain of the “Tango” team had played for the Argentine team Newell’s Old Boys for a period of years in the junior period between 1995 and 2000, before joining Barcelona’s academy at the age of 13 22 years ago. The “flea” wore the Newell’s Old Boys shirt for the last time in November 2020 in his first meeting when he was a player in Barcelona following the departure of Maradona, who represented the same team before, at the end of his career in the nineties.
D-6. On February 15, Real Madrid will play the most important first match of its season on the lawn of Paris Saint-Germain, as part of the knockout stages of the Champions League, pending the return scheduled for March 9 at the Santiago Bernabeu. But the Merengue side may have to contend without their best player at the Parc des Princes: Karim Benzema, who has a hamstring injury.
Six games played without Benzema this season
On January 23, the French goalscorer went out with an injury once morest Elche (2-2) in La Liga, holding the back of his thigh. He hasn’t played once more since. What seemed like a simple discomfort at the time would eventually be a “small tear in the femoral bicep,” according to Marca. And in the Spanish capital, serious doubts now exist regarding the participation of KB9 in the eighth round of the Champions League first leg…
Now playing: Will Benzema play once morest PSG?
Not to be missed
Enough to pose a serious problem for Carlo Ancelotti. How to compose without your best player? The Italian technician has been confronted with this situation six times since the beginning of the season. And Madrid has lost only one game without the Frenchman. The penultimate, once morest Athletic Bilbao (0-1) in the King’s Cup. Despite the possession of the ball, the Merengue were dominated in the statistics by the Basques, and they never managed to find the fault without KB9, replaced by … Marco Asensio in a role of false N °9.
Ancelotti will not touch his 4-3-3
The other five games were, of course, a victory, but they were once morest teams of a lower caliber. Apart from the one once morest Inter Milan (2-0) in the Champions League, with goals from Toni Kroos and Asensio, who came off the bench to replace Rodrygo on the right side. But PSG and its stars, it’s a different story … So how will Ancelotti adapt his XI at the Parc des Princes if Benzema did declare forfeit?
Job-for-job replacement with Jovic
Let’s start from an obvious principle: Ancelotti will not touch his fetish 4-3-3. He has proved that every time Benzema has been away. With, more often than not, position for position: Luka Jovic has been called up twice, as has Mariano Diaz. Otherwise, the Italian technician opted for a fake N ° 9: with Isco once morest Granada (1-0) in La Liga, or Asensio once morest Bilbao, so.
Will Ancelotti choose this option? Jovic seems to be the designated candidate for a place in the XI, but difficult to approach with confidence the most important match of the season with a striker who has rattled the nets only once this season. As for Mariano Diaz, he has not yet recovered from his pelvic injury, and the Dominican will probably be too fair for Paris.
A fake N°9 to replace Benzema?
The other solution is that of the fake N°9. With a favorite, there too: Asensio, who rattled the net twice when Benzema was away. Against Inter Milan and Granada. But every time in a position… as a right winger. And the difficulties encountered by the Spaniard once morest Bilbao, this time in a role of false N ° 9, probably did not escape Ancelotti, who replaced him with Isco in the following match.
Isco, then? Despite this victory by the smallest of margins once morest Granada, Real Madrid literally ate their opponent. But here we are talking regarding Granada. Not from PSG, who remain one of the favourites to win the Champions League final. Let’s not forget Gareth Bale, fit but stayed on the bench in the last few games…
A change during the match?
Obviously, it is not impossible to see Ancelotti using both options. Namely a top striker in the first half, say Jovic, who would be replaced around the 60th minute by a winger, say Asensio. Or the other way around, as was the case once morest Granada last Sunday, with the Serbian coming in to deputise for Isco thirty minutes from time.
Change of system that might also shake PSG, rarely able to adapt during the match. But in any case, Madrid will be a loser at the exchange rate without Benzema. Enough to do the business of Betting. Be careful, however, because the capital club is never in as much danger as when it is presented as a favorite. And we don’t take from the top a club that has won the Queen of competitions 13 times…
