Lionel Messi is concentrated with the albiceleste for what will be the match against Italy in the “Finalissima” in a couple of days. However, this has not been an impediment for the Argentine star to surrender to the talent of the Mexican team, since it is a team that is playing very well and that from the initial whistle, will be a very tough rival to beat.
It is important to note that Argentina and Mexico are in Group C of the World Cup in Qatar, along with Robert Lewandowsksi’s Poland and Saudi Arabia. Likewise, the match between the Albiceleste and the Aztecs will take place on November 26 at the Lusail Stadium.
“Mexico is a National Team that has always cost us, that plays very well, plays very well. He has a very clear idea, with a DT who knows what Argentina is, and they know us very well”, Lionel Messi told TyCsports.
Regarding his mention of the Aztec coach, he refers to Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who was to the mint of Argentina from the year 2014 to 2016. Two years later to the present day, he assumed the reins of the Mexican team.
Both teams have seen each other in 35 occasions and during this stretch, the albiceleste has taken the victory in occasions and has added 13 draws. Likewise, the Aztec team has only been able to beat Argentina four times.
In this way, they will only have to wait for the opening whistle of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 to find out who will take the victory in a group that looks to be very disputed in the first instance by Argentina, Poland and Mexico.
What is clear is that Lionel Messi, captain of the albiceleste knows that the “Tri” is a very tough rival and that the 35 minutes will be hotly contested. In a nutshell, they must have a perfect game to win the three points.
