There he was, at last – a moment of brilliance from Lionel Messi in the jersey of the Argentine national team. The superstar may have finally freed by his gate and found his role in the team. With new-found confidence he ventured a critique of the system.

Among the many fans from his native Lionel Messi has been later questioned in costly renovated Maracanã Rio de Janeiro. But the Argentines employed in Brazil’s football holy site continues to be a completely different topic. It was, after a very laborious 2-1, in the first World Cup game his team against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

And Messi turned once more to his view, essentially. He said: “If we have a striker more, we have more opportunities if we do not use this system, we have trouble.”.
And Messi went on with his remarkably open criticism. “We need to improve some things The best thing is the result,” was the 26-year-olds, followed by an urgent advice to his coach, Alejandro Sabella, to the world star anyway a strained relationship is said:. “In the second half it was better this way, we have to keep playing,” said Messi made strong for the practiced from the break system with two real strikers.

It is before this World Cup in Brazil again much of Messi’s fear of strangers with the national team have been mentioned. His years of outstanding performance in the jersey of FC Barcelona were often compared to much less spectacular performances for the “Albiceleste”. In the past season, Messi had indeed División no longer so basically lifted in the Spanish Primera, at least by his standards. But such brilliant moments like those now in the 65 minutes he had hitherto been reserved for the big stages at club level.

Diesel 2-0 was a little work of art: Gonzalo Higuain face-on into the depths, run into free space, adopting the double pass and dribbling against three opponents in the penalty area along that Messi finished with a precise left-footed shot. From the inside of the post, the ball jumped into the goal and it was good to see how much is then solved with Messi.

For his energetic jubilation followed by other moments of great joy, unlike previously in this tough encounter.
In his first World Cup in 2006 with just over 18 years, Messi had already met once, but it was only 600 WM-minutes later, the arrival has perhaps finally completed in sky blue for him. It is still to come, but Messi could now finally have found the desired role in Argentiere Tinens national team. The fact that he also had the same liberation by his goal followed by a critique of the system, pointed to a new self. Maybe it takes this redemptive moment now through the tournament. The fans in any event already hailed him almost as once Diego Maradona.

Here, Messi had previously as well as his colleagues brought little about. His pass rate dropped in the meantime on the two lowest score his team, Sergio Aguero only, the second attacker, the statistics pointed out as yet imprecise.

Argentina 2 Bosnia Herzegovina 1:Coach Sabella looks for improvement

The early 1-0 through an own goal of Schalke’s Bundesliga professionals Sead Kolasinac (3 minutes) after a free kick Lanke Messi was followed by a tough struggle with the World Cup rookie. This heaped even more chances and scored goals in, but was too vague and came too late by Vedad Ibisevic from VfB Stuttgart for the connection (85). Argentina had only found the game, as Sabella defending series of five reduced after half-time to four players, Higuain brought as an additional striker and Messi pushed back into the offensive central midfield.

What did he say to Messi, the coach was asked. “Messi is the best in the world and one of the best of the story, regardless of what happens in this World Cup,” Sabella said. And what grade he would give the game his team? “A six,” he said, which would correspond in the school a three-plus, “it is quite obvious that we need to improve. That’s my job.”
Then Messi stepped in front of the world press and explained how he imagines in the future.
