The Barcelona star was again the fulcrum of all the attacking play of the South American
Liga top scorer and Golden Boot for European football, Leo Messi is experiencing a real paradox for Argentina. Despite their good performances, especially in this World Cup, which is destined to be one of the undisputed stars of FC Barcelona crack and accumulates eleven games without seeing the shirt albiceleste door. "The goal will come," he said yesterday, without obsessed by the lack of success to the opposing goal.
Messi returns to the Barca ... but without a goal. If the Spanish League champions finished with 34 points in 35 games, which catapulted him to his first Golden Boot, with the selection there is no way. And it's not that you try. Yesterday he lavished on offense (nine shots, three on goal), but among the goalkeeper, defenders and the stick (on the play of 3-1), 'The Flea' does not get his goal.
In Argentina no one can doubt that glow like in your club. The chiaroscuro that left his performances in qualifying for World Cup qualifying campaign have given way to two great games in the finals, but the icing on the goal. Messi shows participatory, is responsible and the equipment there is respect for his person. His colleagues are aware that by partnering with the best player in the world everything is easier, so almost all moves albiceleste passing attack post their boots. Sergio Romero, from its privileged position in the field, sees it clearly: "The dwarf is a crack, again played a special game and only missed the goal. Lacks nothing to make and is helping us a lot, "said the goalkeeper of Argentina.
His rivals also surrender to the evidence. South Korea's Kim Jung Woo, who made a career, was astounded to see for the first time the Argentine star closely. "Messi is impressive, dazzling to see him play. It has cost me much to stop him, I hope I have done well. " The South Korean player had met only halfway, because Messi did not score ... but dazzled.
