A thread:
I am going to appreciate every players who played for Argentina in this world Cup 2022.
Let's start one by one. Follow this thread.
Enzo Fernandez:I had a great regret that every good teams has a world class defensive midfielder but Argentina didn’t have any. Busquets for Spain, Casemiro for Brazil, Tchouameni for France, Amrabat for Morocco and etc. Paredes was doing good but he lost rhythm because (cont)
Enzo(2):
his injury. Then Enzo came and changed the midfield entirely. He controlled the game with De paul and scored a sweet goal against Mexico. His pass to Alvarez which produced a penalty against Croatia. Enzo Fernandez had been phenomenal throughout the wlorld cup.
Lisandro:
I knew that Lisandro had to play an important role in this team. His last minutes block against Australia was immense. It would be a goal and Argentina would need to play another extra time game! Lisandro was also brilliant against Netherlands. (Cont)
Lisandro(2)
After scoring two against France, I thought Scaloni would bring Lisandro as a substitute in the second half! Overall, Lisandro had a great world cup.
Lautaro: I was really disappointed on Lautaro's performance. He missed atleast three clear cut chances against France in the final which could cost Argentina the world cup. Against Australia he missed 2 easy chances as well. (Cont)
Lautaro(2)
His confidence was so low and I thought he would miss the penalty against Netherlands. But his penalty kick was wonderful. His kick ensured the win against Netherlands.
Dimaria: I had a regret that Dimaria weren’t in the final against Germany in 2014! If we had Dimaria against Germany! But I don't have that regret now. Dimaria literally toyed with Kounde and Dembele in the Final. He scored one and earned a penalty in the final. (Cont)
Dimaria(2)
Dimaria is the biggest big match player I've ever seen. He is now one of all time great players.
Molina:
Molina had also a great world cup. When Argentina were clueless in the final third of the pitch against Netherlands,Molina made that run out of nowhere and finished beautifully. Don't forget his cross to Mac Allister against Poland when Argentina were looking for a goal.
Emi Martinez:
What I can say about him! His lsst minute save against Australia saved Argentina from playing another extra time match. Those penalty saves against Netherlands were absolutely ridiculous. Specially, his second penalty save against Netherlands was terrific.(Cont)
Emi(2)
His last minute save against France was out of the world. Then he won the world cup for his country in the tiebreaker. I want to say one thing that Emi I love you.
Mac Allister: I wasn’t hopeful about him before the world cup. But oh my God what a world cup he had! He scored a priceless goal against Poland. His link up play was brilliant.
Mac Allister (2)
He was incredible against France. Most probably one of greatest performances by a midfielder in World Cup Final.
Almada:
He played few minutes against Poland and created a big chance. He is one of the talented young stars in Argentina. This world cup win will boost his confidence and I'm sure he will have a greater roll in future.
Acuna: He was the first choice LB for Argentina and he was brilliant against Mexico and Netherlands. Whem he was fit, he did a great job. Attackers had a tough time against Acuna. Acuna was also great offensively.
Dybala: Most of us wanted to see Dybala on the pitch while Dimaria was injured. But Scaloni didn't bring him because of techincal decision. I was surprised when Dybala came as a substitute against France in the final. (Cont.)
Dybala(2)
Scaloni did rely on Dybala to take a penalty kick and Dybala didn’t disappoint. Dybala also did an important clearance while Mbappe was about to score in last minute. I was very happy for Dybala when he scored that penaly.
Paredes: As like De Paul, Paredes hadn’t a good start. He lost his place in starting XI. But he played a crucial role as a substitute. Paredes was incredible against Croatia. He converted two crucial penalty against Netherlands and France while he was under-pressure.
Romero: Romero came to the world with an injury. Like others Romero struggled against Saudi. But then he came back strongly. Argentina were doing good against Netherlands, then Scaloni Subbed him and they conceded two goals. (Cont)
Romero(2)
Romero was also brilliant against Croatia and France. He was the missing things in Argentine defence. He has changed their defence line entirely. Whatta impact!
De Paul:
When De Paul said that he would go to the war for Messi snd he absolutely meant it. Whatta a player! De Paul:
De Paul is one of the most important players in Argentina Squad. He started badly against Saudi but came back strongly despite he wasn’t 100% fit. (Cont.)
De Paul(2)
Attack, defense, Mid, he was everywhere on the pitch. His work rate is unbelievable. I can say De Paul is the engine for this Argintina team.
Papu Gomez:
A few of us weren’t happy on Papu Gomez. But he isn’t a winger. He was forced to play as a winger and he didn’t do that bad. Papu was brilliant when he played for Atlanta. Papu did a good job when he played in the world cup. Let's appreciate his effort.
Guido Rodriguez:
Guido started the match against Mexico and he didn’t do bad. But i expected more from him as i watched him doing great for Betis.
Montiel: I was never a fan of Montiel. He couldn’t provide a simple pass. But what he did defensively against Brazil in Copa America final was extraordinary. His penalties against Netherlands and France were so cool.
Julian:
Everyone thought Alvarez would play as a substitute in the world cup. Lautaro's poor opened his door. He had never stopped running while he had been in the pitch! His press was non stop.(cont)
Julian(2)
Inspite of his continuous press, I didn’t see him tired. For his relentless press he scored against Australia. He scored a wonderful goal against Croatia and scored a beautiful goal against Poland. The impact of Julian Alvarez was huge.
Otamendi: Most of us doubted him. But apart from that mistake against France, he was splendid. He was the leader at back line. Otamendi was one of the best defenders in the world cup, if not the best.
Palacios:
Scaloni used him as a substitute and defensively did a great job. He stopped many attacks of the opponent while he was in the pitch.
Pezella:
Scaloni used him as a substitute for multiple times. Scaloni brought him for defensive approach and he did a decent job.
And the last one, i don't want to say much about him. The greatest player of all time. He has ended media goat debate. I've never seen an individual performance like this in a world cup . He was Man of the Match in every knockout matches. The GOAT.
Finally I want to say, This world cup has made these players immortal. Everyone will be remembered forever. Now I've seen everything in football. Messi has lifted the world cup. The king is crowned.
Scaloni (Special)
Scaloni was hired as a interim coach for Argentina. When he got selected for the main coaching role, most of us weren't happy. We wanted a high profile coach. But Scaloni has proved us wrong. He has brought the chemistry between the players. (Cont.)
Scaloni( Special 2)
He has brought the team combination. It wasn’t easy to replace players like Mascherano, Banega.. But he had given chances to De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso, Romero, Emi and many others. Scaloni is undoubtedly one of the greatest coaches in Argentina's history.
