The 2022 World Cup final in Qatar will take place at 23:00 Taiwan time on the 18th. The Argentina team will face the defending champions France. If you are an expert in watching the game, there are 4 highlights in this battle of the century .
●Messi and Mbappe, who will win the Golden Boot?
Argentina captain Lionel Messi and French star Kylian Mbappe are both team-mates at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Ligue 1. Both have scored five World Cup goals so far, but this will be the last World Cup of their careers by Messi and then they will compete for the Golden Boot in the championship match.
Mbappe’s searing speed and devastating shots contrast sharply with Messi’s precise ball control and vision. 3 of Messi’s 5 goals have come from free throws, he has always overturned deficits at the French’s most critical moment, while Mbappé’s 5 goals have all come from the opening attack.
● Can Argentina capitalize on France’s weakness on the left?
When Messi played against Croatia in the semifinals a few days ago, he dribbled the ball along the right touchline to the opponent’s penalty area and passed it to Alvarez (Julian Alvarez). It can be called one of the most emotional moments of this World Cup.
Messi and striker Alvarez tacitly cooperate, indicating that the left side of the French team will become Argentina’s main offensive area; conversely, Mbappé, who is also a striker, does not often return to assist in defence.
French manager Didier Deschamps solved the problem by bringing in Marcus Thuram to disrupt the Moroccan defense when France led 1-0 against Morocco.
● The frequent illness of the players of the French team adds variables
When France played Morocco in the semi-finals a few days ago, midfielder Adrien Rabiot and defender Dayot Upamecano both missed the match with cold symptoms, but Upamecano was still included as a substitute. he should be able “to participate in the final.
However, when the French team, including Ibrahima Konate, Raphael Varane and winger Kingsley Coman, missed team training due to cold symptoms, there must be some people concerned about the spread of the virus in the team today.
● Can Griezmann continue to lead the French team in organizing the attack?
Nine of France’s 13 goals have been scored by Mbappé and Olivier Giroud, but French striker Antoine Griezmann played a playmaking role in midfield, even if he wasn’t so good in goal. In the past, there were still flaws.
Before the World Cup there were frequent injuries to the French team, Didier Deschamps decided to retire Griezmann as a striker in midfield, turning into the striker’s “best assist”, creating a brilliant performance for the French team.
