Messi is now 36, a career sunset. Before the World Cup, Qatar announced that the World Cup will be its last World Cup. Messi wants to win a World Cup before the sunset of his career. That’s how Argentina is progressing in the World Cup in Qatar. The magical Messi was also seen in the quarter-finals. Scored himself, and scored with his teammates. And with that, he touched a unique milestone in the World Cup. Besides, Messi also thinks that Messi has reached the semi-finals as a worthy team.
Messi scored from the penalty against the Netherlands. With this, the number of goals of the Argentine captain in this World Cup is 4! And Messi’s goals in all World Cups are now 10. And that’s what touched home legend Gabriel Batistuta. Currently, these two stars of two generations jointly own the highest World Cup goals in the country’s jersey.
However, on the night of the milestone, a different Messi was seen on the green carpet. Which is not usually seen. An exhausted Messi is running like a hungry cheetah for victory. Of course there are reasons. Dutch coach Louis van Gaal said before the match, “If Argentina don’t have the ball at their feet, Messi can’t do anything”. Like Messi. This is what made Messi angry.
Messi’s fight with Gale is old. In the 2014 World Cup, the Argentine star was trapped by the tactics of the Dutch coach. But this time the magician could not be stopped. Instead, Messi became more irresistible. Messi responded to the insult on the field, saying, “The insults are insulting to us. All their plans have been ruined. We went to the semi-finals as a qualified team.”
Two more steps to conquer the world for one of the best stars in world football. The semi-final opponent is Croatia. Overcoming that barrier, winning the final would be Messi’s chance to kiss the elusive title. Also, after 36 long years, Argentina will regain its superiority. However, the Latin American country has a strong chance of becoming the champion if they can maintain the style that Messi has been playing in the World Cup so far.
