It's Argentina
Assuming there is no politics and there is a coach who has the balls to say that the Maxi Lopez faggots need to stop whining and need to learn to play with people they don't like like actual adults do

it has Messi in it so everyone will expect him to do everything and then he wont
>>75020368
If you put the polak in, he can't score against good teams but he can pass so messi can do some shit. Also Enzo Perez can defend a little so Messi doesn't have to track back as often and can do a little bit
Post in my thread pls
Where are the English players?
Papu should be starting, and Romero shouldn't be called up. Marchesin, Willy, or Barovero should be the other keeper.
>Messi on the wing
But he's a lazy cunt. Better go 3-5-1-1 like in '86 and play Messi as the ten behind Dybala.

Ten doesn't require you to back into your half as much and it certainly doesn't require you to sprint back with a fullback. At the very least, you are much further forward than if you are a winger.
A lot of the success he's had as a winger recently has been with Rakitic covering for him. I'm not sure that would work so well with a team that doesn't have so much of the ball. Also, at times, Messi at ten (where he goes for Barca when Rakitic covers his man) leaves the team slightly overrun in midfield. You need another body in there.
These are the reasons Barca switched to a 3-3-1-3, by the way. It wasn't working so well with Messi on the wing.

That has to be worst Argentina team ever

>Wasn't working so well with him on the wing
...But he's been a winger for years. Lazy as fucking balls but that's where he always is.
Sticking him in the middle of the field is terrible since he'd just be a lazy shit there leaving a gaping hole in midfield instead of a small side of the pitch.

Messi played as a false nine for a good while and before that he was a bit younger and more of a team player. And Rakitic has been covering for him since the former came to the club. It works pretty can work pretty well for Barca because they control possession but for Argentina they set themselves up as the underdogs and are more defensive/battle more. That gap that you mention won't happen because you have 4 in the centre, not 3.

Messi stopped playing as a winger in Guardiola's Era. Even Poop himself said it. He wouldnt put Messi as a winger anymore because it require constant defensive effort, and Messi doesnt like it.

Not to mention that he is always floating around, combining with Neymar/Suarez/Iniesta. You almost never spot him in the right side of the pitch.

Yeah, he's a total cunt. Like someone from Norway.
