Lucille — The planet was eager to see the football of Lionel Messi, but had to settle for the tactical and strategic intelligence of Herve Renard.Coach Saudi Arabia He who built one The most resonant hits in history of World CupQatar’s Group A debut is 2022.
Play with all your lines well forward and clustered at 20m, focusing on Argentina’s ten nearest spots. Every second of the match at Lusail. The plan went well and presented by the Arab Group The first surprise of the World Cup. A surprise that is hard to match. The reason? Next, the keys to the party.
Tactical plan
The French coach worked for months for this meeting. With the patience of a craftsman, he painted every level of detail of his equipment. He did it out of a belief: Stand as far as possible from goalkeeper Mohammad Al Owais. With the primary idea already settled, he understood that the best course of action was to advance the defensive line almost to the center zone. Then, it was central Abdullah al-Malki And the rest of the midfielders are pretty close. a) Yes, Roads were closed Leandro Paredes Y Rodrigo DePaul.
Play in favor of offside and take advantage of VAR’s presence, which acts as a true cybernetic support for defenders due to its pinpoint accuracy. A) Yes, He left the Argentine forward ten times ahead. Three goals were disallowed in the first half. In short, Saudi Arabia played bilge, which Argentine football is familiar with. But this time he couldn’t fight it.
Concentration vs. Frustration
Reynard’s plan needed fuel: The Full confidence of his players. They held it from minute one to minute 110. The Asian team played like there was no tomorrow, confident that this could be the most important day of their lives. It was. They ran, defended, marked and scored when the situation called for it. And they also took advantage of the few situations they had.
parallel, Argentina were a bundle of nerves. It is true that the approach of the first half was different from that of the second half. The first half had an even but dangerous process for Argentina, who quickly took the lead and always had the best options. There was a problem with the plugin. The opening goal was a blow from which he would never recover. He entered a spiral of uncertainty, with nothing running back in attack or defence.
Individual results
Football is made by players, they decide. Although the Saudi national team has the most points on all its lines, it is difficult to find an Argentine footballer who does not disappoint.. Again, perhaps the main reason for that is frustration and from a mental point of view little ability to assert themselves in their World Cup debut.
Messi looked like he didn’t existPerhaps physical problems prevented him from taking responsibility for the situation. Angel de Maria In the first phase there were some unsuccessful individual arrests, such as Alejandro Gómez. De Paul isn’t even close to being a spiritual leader and Paredes isn’t even impressive. One of the main favorites for the title is too short.
