Lionel Messi helps keep Argentina's World Cup hopes alive with moment of magic against Mexico | CNN

리오넬 메시, 멕시코전 마법의 순간으로 아르헨티나 월드컵 희망 살려

Yet another moment of Lionel Messi magic helped salvage Argentina’s World Cup hopes at Qatar 2022 as La Albiceleste secured a much-needed victory over Mexico.
The 2-0 win certainly wasn’t pretty, with Argentina struggling to create many clear-cut chances against a stubborn Mexico team that itself also offered very little threat going forward. Messi came to the fore just after the hour mark to save his team, as he has done on countless occasions, finding the bottom corner of the net with a stunning strike from outside of the box. After the historic defeat to Saudi Arabia in its opening Group C match, one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history, Argentina needed a win against Mexico to avoid having to beat Poland by three or more goals its the final group match in order to qualify for the knockout stages.
Though a win against Mexico on Saturday was crucial, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni will also have wanted to see a much-improved performance as proof that the loss to Saudi Arabia was nothing more than a blip. Not least given that before that Saudi defeat Argentina had gone 36 games unbeaten.
However, that performance never materialized with Argentina looking stale and lifeless for much of the game.

그러나 리오넬 메시의 마법은 라 알비 셀레스테가 멕시코를 상대로 절실히 필요한 승리를 거두면서 2022년

카타르 월드컵에서 아르헨티나의 희망을 되살리는 데 도움을 주었다.
아르헨티나가 완고한 멕시코 팀을 상대로 확실한 기회를 많이 만들기 위해 고군분투하는 가운데, 2-0 승리는 

확실히 예쁘지 않았다. 메시는 그가 수없이 해왔던 것처럼 페널티 박스 밖에서 놀라운 공격으로 골밑 구석을 

찾으며 팀을 구하기 위해 시간 표시 직후에 전면에 나섰다. 사우디아라비아와의 조별 리그 C조 첫 경기에서 

역사적인 패배를 당한 후, 아르헨티나는 멕시코와의 조별 리그 최종전에서 폴란드를 3골 이상 차로 이겨야 

결선 토너먼트에 진출할 수 있었다. 리오넬 스칼로니 아르헨티나 감독은 토요일 멕시코전 승리가 결정적이었지만 

사우디아라비아전 패배가 눈 깜짝할 사이에 끝났다는 증거로 개선된 경기력을 보고 싶어 했을 것이다. 

특히 그전에 사우디아라비아가 아르헨티나를 꺾은 것을 감안하면 36경기 무패였다.
그러나, 그 경기력은 아르헨티나가 경기 내내 낡고 활기가 없어 보이면서 실현되지 못했다.

As Mexico chased a result, spaces began to open up in its defense with increasing regularity and Enzo Fernandez secured the win with a wonderful stepover and finish into the top corner after
El Tri had failed to clear its lines from a set piece. Mexico started the game brightly and was the better team inside the opening 15 minutes, much to the delight of the huge contingent of traveling fans that serenaded their team with shouts of “olé” as the players passed their way around the Argentine midfield.
From the noise made during the national anthems, it was clear that Mexico’s fans outnumbered their Argentine counterparts in the stands. The first half passed by with very little incident, as neither side was able to create a single chance of note. For Argentina, this was a long way from the performance that many fans in Qatar and back home would have expected following that humiliating opening defeat to Saudi Arabia. There seemed to be no cohesion and, more worryingly, no ideas about how best to string a handful of passes together and begin to break down the Mexico defense Players seemed fearful of getting on the ball and playing progressively, with Messi spending much of the half ambling around the pitch away from the action.
With the last attack of the first half, Argentina did finally create some space down the right hand side of Mexico’s back line, but Marcos Acuña’s poor cross was easily cleared away. Argentina coach Scaloni had made five changes to the team that lost to Saudi Arabia in the hopes of receiving a reaction from his players, but he was left wanting after an insipid first-half performance. Given the hazardous position Argentina found itself in, needing a win to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the knockout stages, that first half display will have been puzzling and infuriating in equal measure to fans of La Albiceleste.

멕시코가 추격에 나서자 수비에 공간이 벌어지기 시작했고 엔조 페르난데스는 멋진 스텝오버로 승리를 확정지었고, 

경기를 마친 뒤 상위 구석으로 마무리했다.엘 트리세트피스에서 라인을 제거하는 데 실패했습니다. 멕시코는 경기를

밝게 시작했고, 아르헨티나 미드필드 주변을 지나갈 때 "올레"라는 함성으로 팀을 세레나데로 불러들인 거대한

원정 팬들의 기쁨에 15분 만에 더 나은 팀이 되었다. 국가가 연주되는 동안 발생한 소음으로 볼 때 관중석에서 

멕시코 팬들이 아르헨티나 팬들보다 수적으로 우세한 것이 분명했다. 전반전은 어느 쪽도 주목할 기회를 만들지 

못했기 때문에 거의 사건 없이 지나갔다. 아르헨티나로서는 사우디아라비아에 대한 굴욕적인 개막전 패배 이후 

카타르와 고국의 많은 팬들이 기대했던 경기와는 거리가 멀었다. 응집력이 없어 보였고, 더 걱정스러운 것은 

어떻게 하면 패스 몇 개를 묶고 멕시코 수비를 무너뜨리기 시작할 수 있을지에 대한 아이디어가 없는 것 같았다.
선수들은 공에 올라타서 점진적으로 경기를 하는 것을 두려워하는 것처럼 보였고, 메시는 절반의 대부분을 경기장 

주변을 어슬렁거리면서 보냈다. 전반 마지막 공격으로 아르헨티나는 마침내 멕시코의 백라인 오른쪽 아래로 공간을 

만들어냈지만, 마르코스 아쿠냐의 형편없는 크로스는 쉽게 치워졌다. 스칼로니 아르헨티나 감독은 선수들의 반응을 

기대하며 사우디아라비아에 패한 팀에 5번의 변화를 주었지만, 그는 부진한 전반전 경기력을 보여주면서 아쉬움을 남겼다.
아르헨티나가 결선 토너먼트에 진출하기 위해 현실적인 기회를 얻기 위해 승리가 필요한 위험한 위치를 고려할 때, 

전반전 경기는 라 알비셀 레스트의 팬들에게 똑같이 곤혹스럽고 분노를 불러일으킬 것이다.
