When Lionel Messi fired his charming shot in the killer time
of Iran game and led his country to the second round of the World Cup 2014
Brazil sent a message to all concerned: "I'm here!".
Many doubted the ability of the best player in the world
four times in living up to the great international event like the legends Pele
and Argentina's Maradona, but what he has done, "flea" Barcelona in
two games, at least in terms of numbers, it was enough to remind that the
"genius" paves what is the greatest in the upcoming matches.
coach Alejandro Sabella was first initiators to pay tribute
to him who scored both goals to win against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iran in
the first round: "Luckily for us that Messi is Argentine, it's genius. Iran
imposed a close monitoring on him, but thanks to the perseverance and patience he
looks always to scoring. He did not give up never and succeeded in his quest .they
've chased him all the time, and his ball was not the last one , no one was able
to stop it even if there was two goalkeepers. "
and Messi underwent 89 minutes of observation and subjected
to thirty error, but it can to withdraw his team from the neck of the bottle
and return it to the top of the list of candidates for the title, which top
stars were not able to do in the current version.
He said, beaming after the goal: "It was difficult for
us to find a loophole and the air is hot , when i received the ball we attacked
all, I was happy with that shot. I Heard people screaming and laughing at the
moment . it was exhilarating."
Who would dare to announce in front of millions of people in
the World Cup that the coach 5-3-2 plan does not suit them? So the team which built
on his measure to apply offensive 4-3-3 open manner, to be short young man comfortable
behind his friend Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain, who playmaker welcomed to
join him in Barcelona.
Even justify of Sabella to Messi uprising outside the
dressing room was not convincing: "Previously, Messi said that more than
once that he liked to adopt the style of 4-3-3. Did not say anything new, and
in any case has expressed his respect and this does not bother me. We lived in
an atmosphere of intimacy and all respects everyone, there is a high spirit
within the squad. "
Back to Messi record tally in Barcelona, it does not amaze who
saw him scores two goals in Bosnia and Iran, but the son of Rosario looking
since 2006 when it was backed up in the lineup, "BBC Celeste" to
withdraw his brilliance with the Catalans to the global arena, scored in the
two games so far any more than the previous participating in 2006 and 2010.
Titles of individual accolades and countless awards, fell on
the twenty-sixth son in the past years, the impact of his brilliance with
Barcelona, despite his participation in the Argentina gold squad in the 2008
Beijing Olympics, however, that success in Cuba, the United States and the
World Cup he was not lucky.
any sane person cannot doubt the quality, versatility and
the ability of Messi, after its flight in Barcelona to the domestic league
titles, the Champions League, but the star of the World Cup remains the most
expensive among the shortcomings of the Messi heavily closet.
Messi participated twice before this World Cup so far,
despite his young age, at first did not get a real chance as a replacement in
2006, and scored once in the nets of Serbia and Montenegro, and the second came
out with his colleagues in a shocking way against Germany under the supervision
of Maradona without scoring a goal.
and Argentina needs to draw with Nigeria to mathematically ensure
the top of Group F and avoid confrontation with France in the second round, it
is better than Messi to enjoy a game without the pressure of chasing a shot,
and a third time in a row and says again, "I'm here!".
