31st LIONEL MESSI

After the Argentina match against Iceland, Diego Maradona said: "I once kicked five consecutive penalty. People also criticized, denigrated. But Diego Maradona is still Diego Maradona. Messi's problem is that he is self-indulging, pushing too much pressure on his head. " But Messi is not and never is Maradona - who has tripped and experienced all sorts of adversities in his life - who can find the fun outside of football, from which to arouse passion with the ball. round, with Albiceleste.

Messi is different, the super-rated "No.10", but it's just one of those things, just one big fun - is to play with all the passion. But in one place, in a set that Messi had to lie to himself to play the game, the rest of him is forever a thousand pounds of pressure, is full of sadness, how much memory.

Four years ago, Messi celebrated his 27th birthday with an emotional show in Argentina's 3-2 win over Nigeria in the final round. Four years later - at this moment, at 31, will be a Messi when Argentina once again confronted Nigeria with the task of winning to continue to hold hope for the 2018 World Cup?

Is a foolish Messi believing that he can still play the best football like he has ever been with Argentina conquer high stakes in danger, when no longer passionate? Is a Messi will break the last World Cup in life, with tragedy eliminated from the group stage, when passion is exhausted?
