Chapter 3608

Argentina without Messi, or Argentina?

You have to ask Maradona this question. I believe the king will give you a rough and correct answer.

The northern hemisphere in November has entered the chilly early winter. Buenos Aires in November is the best season for warm flowers in spring.

On the last international competition day in 2018, the Argentina four nation invitational tournament called Zhuo Yang, but it lacked Rio Messi, who should have been the host.

FIFA has 203 member countries. For the vast majority of them, the top 16 of the world cup is a gratifying and even glorious achievement. However, in Argentina, people mainly debate whether the international should jump into the sea or off a cliff.

After stopping in the top 16, boss Mei was still in Russia and announced his withdrawal from the national team. This is him. Maybe Messi himself didn't take it seriously.

In September, boss Mei agreed with the national team that he would not be recruited this year at least. Look.

Not only did there not be Messi, the Argentine training did not call Aguero, Di Maria and others. After a two-day break after the Manchester derby, Zhuo Yang's special plane took Xiao Lizi, Duke Jiang, Otamendi and Manchester United's second Romero from Manchester City to Buenos Aires.

Argentina, the host of the four nation invitational tournament, invited China, Mexico and Uruguay. The name is serious, but the game is not serious.

There is no elimination or cycle. According to each other's intention, each team plays two games. The Chinese team plays Mexico for the first time and Argentina for the second time. Six people are allowed to be replaced in each game.

In the world cup, after Mexico lost to Brazil and ended in the last 16, coach Juan Osorio and the Mexican Football Association broke up without renewing their contracts.

Colombian Osorio, 57, played in midfield as a player, but he had only a short five-year career and had to retire at the age of 26 due to injury.

Since 2001, Osorio has worked with Kevin Keegan as a first-team assistant coach in Manchester City for five years. In 2005, with Keegan out of class, Osorio left Manchester City and took charge of the team alone. After traveling all over the American continent, he picked up the Mexican whip in 2015.

After Osorio left office, Ricardo Ferretti, a famous Mexican coach, a senior fire coach and head coach of the tiger University team, a powerful team of the Mexican League, was appointed as the interim manager again. This is not the first time or the second time for him.

At the age of 64, Ferretti is a Brazilian and a Brazilian international in the era of the 'golden four eagles' of Zico, Socrates, Falcao and Santana. After playing and teaching, he basically tossed and tossed in Mexican football and had a lot of contacts.

This is his third time as a temporary coach of the Mexican national team. Of course, he failed to become a regular twice. Ferretti is not a salted fish. Naturally, he thinks that there is no more than three things.

The Argentina four nation invitational tournament, which is also the last international competition day in 2018, is equal to Ferretti's big test. At such an old age, there are few opportunities.

In the previous four warm-up games, Ferretti led Mexico to a 3-1 win, losing to Uruguay, the United States and Chile, only narrowly beating Costa Rica 3-2. Whether you can become a full member and lead the team to participate in next year's China North America gold cup depends on how you play China and Argentina this time.

Unfortunately, goalkeeper 'Mexico Wu Zhenyu' Ochoa, midfielder Miguel layun and striker Raul Jimenez all missed the training for their own reasons.

In the 18th game of the world cup in Russia, Mexico played Brazil. Old captain Rafael Marcos started to play in the back. At the age of 39 years and 139 days, he became the oldest non goalkeeper in the World Cup since 1954.

He was the one who stole watches in Barcelona and bullied Xiao Bu and was beaten by Zhuo Yang.

Marcos participated in five World Cups and maintained this record with Buffon, mataeus and legendary Mexican goalkeeper kawahar. Buffon is a pity. If Italy hadn't been disappointed and absent Russia, he could have enjoyed six terms alone.

Marcos is not only the captain for five times, but also the captain for five times 18, even five times, which is better than several others. After the world cup, Marcos announced his withdrawal from the national team and retired, ending 23 years of player and 20 years of international career.

It's good to retire so as not to be embarrassed to meet Zhuo Yang.

Since then, only Buffon and Mata of the Brazilian women's football team have played in the five world cups.
