The Inter Milan striker has yet to score goals in Qatar and Julián Álvarez won him the starting role
Lionel Messi is focused on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as he has been doing for months, even when he was playing the regular season with Paris Saint-Germain. Now, the Argentine knows that against the Netherlands, he faces his biggest challenge to date, because a defeat sends you home.
The Argentine team qualified for the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar, where they will face the Netherlands on December 9. Although the team led by Lionel Scaloni had several high points against Australia, Lautaro Martínez had a hard time and now a player who stands out in Europe and scores goals asks the manager for a space after the Cup.

This is Giovanni Simeone. The Napoli striker stands out in Serie A and had the hope of playing in the World Cup in Qatar, but Scaloni did not take it into account. A few months ago he indicated that he wants to be in the National Team, although he did not understand the reason why he is not called (he scored 17 goals with the Hellas Verona jersey). Now, he hopes to be considered after the World Cup.
