JULY 3, (PRINTWORDS NEWS)- The flashbulbs popped but it wasn’t a balanced emotion that it could capture. On one end were the smiling Germans who have just crushed Argentina’s larynx under their boots, while on the other end were the dejected Argentines in tears making their way back to the dressing room.
Klose Scores A Brace
Perhaps that is trash talk owing to the fact that these Germans were too mighty for Maradona’s boys. What’s more disappointing was the Argentines who never seemed to have taken the grip of the game, not even for a single minute. However, Lionel Messi repetitively forwarded passes which could have been turned into goals with players in their position. As a matter of fact, Messi again proved that one doesn’t need to score goals to be sublime. The Argentine football god Diego Maradona gave completely liberty to talisman Lionel Messi in the Saturday match who seemed to be the only one who matched the speed play of the Germans unlike his team members. But that couldn’t stop Miroslav Klose scoring a brace along with Arne Friedrich and Thomas Mueller. As for Messi, this is the second instance when he had been a witness to the loss of his team; the first being the 2006 world cup quarterfinals. Back in those days ex- coach Jose Pekerman kept the 23 year old in the bench as he sat through the whole match. However, Lionel Messi had great expectations from this world cup which are now shattered with Argentina’s loss.
Diego Maradona Comforts Lionel Messi After The Defeat
As he left the field dejected, one could see his wet eyes and indeed he bursted into tears in the dressing room. Diego Maradona said Messi played a “great World Cup” and gave everything for his country. “To see Messi cry in the dressing room, whoever says that he doesn’t feel pride for his shirt is stupid,” Maradona told the media in the post-match meet.
