Messi’s panic in the Australian camp
Argentina and Australia are facing each other in the pre-quarterfinals of the World Cup.
At the moment, only Argentinian star Lionel Messi is on the minds of Australian players. Matthew Leakey, the Australian forward who shined in this World Cup, says, “No one else can do what Messi does on the football field.”
Australian defender Milos Degen has said they are going to play against the greatest footballer in the world at the World Cup.
But Australia has not let its spirits down. Shocking results are coming continuously in Qatar World Cup. Australia will want to pull off another shocker by beating Argentina. Australia is also hopeful because Argentina lost its opening match against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia’s defeat of Argentina is considered to be the most unexpected result in the 92-year history of the World Cup.
Apart from that, Japan has shocked Germany and Spain, Morocco has shocked Belgium, Tunisia, France, and Australia themselves have shocked Denmark. Australia wants to add another line to this list of shocking results. “No one expected us to win. So let’s shock the world again,” says forward Leckie.
But after losing to Saudi Arabia, Argentina has presented itself as a different team. Messi is also trying hard to win the World Cup for the first time in his last participation. As Argentina is also the main contender it also wants to win the title for Messi. Despite losing to Saudi Arabia, Argentina won the remaining two matches easily and is playing against Australia as group winners.
