◤FIFA World Cup in Qatar◢ Leo Messi, Lautaro Martínez, Paulo Dybala and Ángel Di María named in Argentina




The Argentine Football Association has announced the 26-man squad list for the country's national team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar on its official website on Saturday.


The most eye-catching name in the list announced this time is of course the football icon, Leo Messi. Messi, who is 35 years old, would be playing in the World Cup for the last time in his career. Having won all the titles, he will undoubtedly try his best to win the FIFA World Cup Trophy to make up for his disappointments over the years.


In addition, the news of Ángel Di María recovering in time to catch the flight to Qatar must be delightful to fans, but considering that he has just recovered, it is expected that head coach Lionel Scaloni will not heavily utilise the flying winger until the knockout stage.


Together with the two men, is Inter Milan's ace Lautaro Martínez. Although his performance this season is not very good, but due to his rich experience in major competitions, if he can cooperate well with this group of world-class stars and develop a great understanding, then Lautaro may be able to completely explode once more.


On the other hand, although Paulo Dybala, who couldn't stop scoring goals after transferring to Roma this season is still injured, in the absence of Giovani Lo Celso's serious injury, the powerful Dybala will still be a great weapon that can play a huge role in the team's attack.


Argentina is drawn into Group C with Saudi Arabia, Poland and Mexico in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which has the monkier of "Super Group of Death". The Albiceleste which aimed for the final glory will face Saudi Arabia on the 22nd of November for the first round; followed by a clash against rivals Mexico on the 26th; then challenge Poland on the 30th.
