Lionel Scaloni defines more changes to face Mexico, minute by minute
Dani Alvesone of the best partners of Messi in Barcelona, defended La Pulga and Neymar when asked regarding the offensive trident of Paris Saint Germain, which completes Mbappe.
“A great player must always know and understand who he plays with, your teammates enrich your qualities. Mbappé is a phenomenon who still hasn’t understood that those who play in attack are more phenomena than him”, he explained in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
And he completed: “Neymar and Messi are unique: come and do things that no one else sees or can do. You have to be smart to take advantage of the potential of Neymar and Messi, they are two football geniuses. I think I handle the ball well, but when I played with Leo I gave it to him. And if I play with Ney, I also give it to him. If Mbappé gives the ball to these two, he would score 150 goals”.
Messi trained alongside the rest and Scaloni defines the team that will debut against Saudi Arabia
Despite the intrigue generated by seeing Messi work separately, Scaloni gave a hint ahead of Tuesday’s debut once morest Saudi Arabia. He had to do with the distribution of orange bibs that only ten field players wore.
They were Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Acuña, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Alexis Mac Allister, Ángel Di María, Lautaro Martínez and Alejandro Papu Gómez.
Coincidentally, a team of 10 can be put together, without counting the goalkeeper, which might be the formation that takes the field of play at the Lusail stadium next Tuesday at 7:00 a.m. in Argentina once morest Saudi Arabia.
We must add Dibu Martinez and think regarding Messi, who would make his debut without problems, instead of Papu Gómez.
The Al Bait stadium, with a capacity for 60,000 spectators, will be the scene of the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador and will host nine matches. It is in Al Khor, a city located 35 kilometers north of Doha, and its name derives from the “bayt al sha’ar”, traditional tents used by nomads from the host country and the Gulf region.
Its design is inspired by the tents used by the nomadic peoples of the region. After the World Cup, the field will reduce its capacity because a large part of the seats will be donated to underdeveloped countries.
In addition to this match, Al Bait will host eight other games, including one in the round of 16, another in the quarterfinals and one in the semifinals.
