The performance of many football stars in the South America 2022 World Cup

Although the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging here, the World Cup qualifiers are taking place which worries European clubs. Because so many South American players are playing in the Old Continent and, in principle, the club has to release the team for the team in the match schedule of the World Football Federation (FIFA).

A series of stars have spoken out in the second round of the 2022 World Cup qualifying match in South America.

As expected, the big names of South American football have many difficulties in the second round of the 2022 World Cup qualifying match in South America. Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia all escaped thanks to their stars, while Uruguay was not so lucky.

In the earliest match, the experts waited for a surprise when Bolivia welcomed Argentina. Because in La Paz, Argentina has not been able to win since 2005 and this place also witnessed one of their historic failures in 2009 (losing 1-6).

At an altitude of 3,600m above sea level, Argentina understands the difficulties they face, so coach and coach Lionel Scaloni joined slowly to regulate fitness. But the home team is the opposite, they are too familiar with the conditions at La Paz to push the squad.

The result came in the 24th minute when Lautaro Martinez lost the ball in the Bolivian penalty area, the home team held the ball, but the Argentine players reacted slowly and lackluster for Marcelo Martins to comfortably head from a pass from a teammate. Many people have thought about the repetition of history, especially in this match, Lionel Messi is “taken care of” very carefully.

Argentina tried to push up the squad but had many difficulties. They even have less control over the ball than their opponents. However, luck is partly on their side. It seemed that the first half ended with a score of 1-0, in the 45th minute, the Bolivian defender correctly broke the ball to block the ball of Martinez and the ball flew back into the home team’s goal.

1 point seemed to be a good result for Argentina because the players had to breathe a lot in the second half. However, the Bolivian defense made another serious mistake in the 79th minute when he lost the ball. Martinez received the ball from Messi near the penalty area, before assisting Joaquin Correa to decisively finish, setting the score 2-1 for Argentina to win after 2 games.
