After he lost his way... Messi continues to walk in the footsteps of Maradona

Finally Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi wore "dress of new Maradona" after liberation from the pressures and criticism that buffeted after appearing disappointing in previous two world cups especially South Africa 2010 and his bad season with his team Barcelona, so he has impressed greatly in three games for the argentine team in the first round of the World wedding in Brazil.

the owner of the number 10 in the ranks of the Argentine national team Suffered a lot in the last two versions of the World Cup although he was a young man in the first version in Germany in 2006, but hit strongly in the first three games for Argentina in the first round and wiped out " Diego Maradona ghost " crowned world title in 1986, scoring 4 fantastic goals.

But this constant comparison with Maradona does not haunt Messi but on the contrary, he seems to get rid of this heavy legacy to turn into a true leader of the Argentine national team.

There have been many accolades about Messi in this World Cup, most recently coach of Nigeria's Stephen Keshi, who he described as a player of "Mercury", all of that is evidence that Rosario son meets the aspirations and high hopes held him by the Argentine fans that remained in the country or the tens of thousands who are in Brazil .

Messi scored a wonderful goal and quickly of miraculous shot from outside the area in the range of Bosnia (2-1), and the last of the great shot from outside the region also in injury time against Iran (1 - zero), and strong shell at close range and a direct free kick from outside the region against Nigeria (3-2): total is four goals out of 6 scored by Argentina in the first round. Moreover, Argentina scored the first goal against Bosnia from friendly fire after a direct free kick to Messi.

In the face of the suffering of Argentina in imposing collective playing style, the burden of responsibility lies on the best player in the world four times and this time, which seems more determined to achieve his dream against all odds.

Argentina's victories were not dependent on Messi in the past than it is now, even on the eve of the face Switzerland in the first knockout round, Argentina condemns to the "genius" of Barcelona, who scored crucial goals in the fatal moments.

Messi orphan goal was in the first World Cup in his career in 2006 in Germany, followed by fasting on the scoresheet in the latest version in South Africa in 2010 under the leadership of Diego Armando Maradona ... but fortunately for Argentina that "new" Messi presented a different face and encouraging similar to his influence with Barcelona.

And "Flea” continued his hobby to reap records of all kinds, and it is enough re-open the history books to find out the achievements similar to what Messi achieved in the twentieth edition in Brazil.

Messi became the first Argentine player to score in the first three games since Omar Orestes Kortaba in 1958, also became the first Argentina scored with a free kick since Daniel Passarella captain in the 1982 World Cup.  

But Messi knowing only too well that he must submit offers the same in the playoffs direct (from the knockout to the final) in order to enter the final history of his country.

If Argentina surpassed the barrier in the Swiss knockout tomorrow Tuesday in Sao Paulo, the anniversary of the 1986 World Cup will cast where  Maradona scored five goals in Mexico, including historic bilateral in quarterfinal against England - and the "goal of the century" - and the last before the final against Belgium (2 - zero), and alone led Argentina to the final.

If Maradona failed to find the net in the final against West Germany, it was behind the final pass that Jorge Burruchaga scored the winning goal (3-2).

At that time, Maradona carrying without pressures the legacy of Mario Kempes epic hero win the World Cup for the first time in 1978 in Argentina, scoring 6 goals from three binaries, including one in the final against the Netherlands. 

Will Messi succeed in leading Argentina to a third title on July 13, next to the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro? To become a Maradona 2014, Messi should do his best.

Messi proves to be from another planet

After three games, Lionel Messi proved that he is on the right path, the one that led him to the net: the Argentine star scored four goals in the group stage, to qualify his country's team to the second round of the World Cup in Brazil.

The Star returns to his orbit

But the case of Argentina has an exception: Messi engages his colleagues in the play, which creates space for them to move as soon attract the opponent to him. He extends his confidence after suffering since the beginning of the World Cup, especially when the line of defense.
