Argentina 0-0 Peru: World Cup not Messi !?

Messi's absence in the 2018 World Cup has become clearer than ever after Argentina continued to disappoint at the welcome of Peru.



If they beat Peru, Argentina will overtake the opponent to the team to win the 2018 World Cup finals. Then, Messi and his team will have the right to self-determination in the series after a few days. But that scenario did not happen! On the day of disappointment of the public, Albiceleste Peru was 0-0 draw.

What is worse for Argentina is that the match took place at the same time, Chile overcame Ecuador 2-1. Jorge Sampaoli has been knocked down to No. 6 on the table, which will make them the 2018 World Cup finals. The risk of Messi missing at the biggest football festival in the world has become. should be clearer than ever.

As stated before the game, coach Sampaoli did not match Dybala - Messi on the attack. Dybala despite the high performance in Juventus still have to sit down. Instead, Argentina came on as Messi - Di Maria - Gomez - Benedetto.

The overwhelming pressure was made by Argentina, forcing Peru to retreat deep into the defense. But before the dense defense of the visitors, Messi and his teammates fell into a deadlock. In the first 45 minutes, the number of distinct opportunities counts only at the fingertips but the home team's striker can not take advantage.

As a striker, Messi has moved aggressively, the task of pulling the Peruvian defense. The Barca striker has created at least three opportunities for his team-mates, but both Di Maria, Gomez and Benedetto have missed it.



In the second half, the pressure Argentina made on a larger. But before the Peruvian discipline, Albiceleste was forced to use more than the final shot from distance. Still, this is not a viable option as Peru has limited the space available to the home team's attacking stars.

In the deadlock, coach Sampaoli still conservative Paulo Dybala not kick into the yard. Therefore, the game that Argentina created in the second round is still the only missed opportunities. When overcame the dense Peruvian defense, Argentina can not beat goalkeeper Gallense of the visitors.

The price that Argentina paid for the ineffectiveness of the attack was a 0-0 draw. The third consecutive tie made Albiceleste fall to No. 6 on the chart. Sampaoli's hopes of winning 2018 World Cup finals are still in the final stages, with Peru and Colombia struggling. Argentina have to overcome Ecuador to hope to overcome one of the two opponents but this is not a simple target, especially when Albiceleste are showing offensive ability bad under the coach Sampaoli.
