Albiceleste Bringing Back that Beauty to the Game
Football has returned, I mean it. The game is back in the hands of the people who know how to play with the ball.
A perfect example of their beauty is the second of the six goals
In Riquelme they have a player who conducts an orchestra. In Crespo they have a proven goal getter, not simply a scorer. Ayala and Heinze stabilize the defence. Captain Sorin and Maxi Rodriguez make those darting runs through the wings. Mascherano and Cambiasso sit in front of the back-four and connect them with the midfield. Saviola has regained the form that made him once to be compared to the great Diego. Tevez can anytime come on from the bench and will not fall down to tackles and cry out for a free-kick, he just goes on running and is a lethal scorer too. Then there is the hottest sensation, Lionel Messi who can do anything. This group of players assembled by Jose Pekerman has got the ability to win it, what that is left is to accomplish that great feat. Pekerman has groomed these players when he was the youth team coach and has got a fantastic chemistry working between them. The spirit in the camp is high and now that they have shown it on the field.
Two games in the group stage are not enough to judge a side. They are still to face the young might of Dutchmen in the group. Then comes the dreaded knockout matches. But the signs are positive. If they continue to play this brand of attractive passing football and score freely, they will be a team to beat.
