Captain Argentina, Lionel Messi, considered the defeat in Saudi Arabia a blow to the troops of Lionel Scaloni. However, the situation has effectively become a whip for Argentina to look even better.
The reason is that Argentina can no longer lose if they don’t want to be eliminated from the World Cup. Evidently, their performance continued to climb until the final game.
The first match of the World Cup was a big blow for all of us, because we were unbeaten in 36 games. We don’t think we will lose to Saudi Arabia, so starting like this is a tough test” Messi said quoted by Fourfourtwo.
“But this team shows how strong we are. After every game it’s a final, and it’s a mental load for us: if we don’t win, things will get complicated for us. We’ve played five finals and luckily we can win all five, I think. I hope which will also be the same for the last game”.
“We know what we’re capable of: we lost the first match, but from then on it really helped us to be stronger and to grow internally,” he explained.
