That goal. Started by Messi. Finished by Messi. Typical. None of that waiting in the box like a homeland security official.

Messi, asked which of his World Cup goals was his favorite: “I don’t know. I don’t remember. I’m tired.”

Messi tried to assist Alvarez,he missed it and Messi said “fuck it, I’m scoring myself”

[Ororo😎 @McFlybowy]

You have to credit Lionel Scaloni honestly for how he’s platformed Lionel Messi here, and how he’s making him function at an output level that actually matches his instincts instead of fighting them.

What Scaloni did differently wasn’t some overly complex tactical revolution, it was clarity. He stripped away the burden of Messi having to be the system and instead built a system that constantly feeds Messi into the most valuable zones with minimal defensive and physical waste. In 2010 and even 2014–2018 at times, Messi was often dropping too deep, forced into progression, creation, and finishing all at once. That’s where Argentina looked heavy and disjointed.

From 2021 onwards, especially into the World Cup cycle, Scaloni solved that by giving Messi structural freedom but role discipline around him. You’ve got runners like Alvarez stretching and dragging defenders, midfielders like Enzo and Mac Allister giving balance and progression, and wide players like Di María and now De Paul and Almada providing direct threat so defenses can’t just collapse on Messi. That balance is what keeps him fresh in decisive moments.

The key shift is Messi’s positioning. He’s not constantly initiating anymore he’s arriving. Right half-space, between lines, or drifting into pockets after Argentina have already destabilized the opponent. That’s why his output looks so efficient: fewer wasted touches, higher-quality touches. He’s essentially been turned from system creator into final-phase decider without removing his influence.

And that’s where Scaloni deserves credit. A lot of coaches try to use Messi, but Scaloni actually designed around him in a way that respects both his limitations with age and his still-elite decision-making in the final third. The result is Argentina don’t just depend on Messi anymore, they amplify him.

@markklfc But did he actually said all this! I doubt

[Es_D @SMuhammad35575]

@innotazzel @yaygha If you watch Argentina in recent years, that's how they've always been. Team spirit is what win games for them!

[Es_D @SMuhammad35575]

@dakowz @yaygha U don't expect Messi at this age to be controlling games.

[Es_D @SMuhammad35575]

@john322226 Fabz is a Messi fan, anything wrong with that?!🤔

[Es_D @SMuhammad35575]
