When you play with the different formation for every game. Sampaoli used 4-2-3-1 formation against Iceland and 3-4-2-1 against Croatia. No fixed plan of action.
When your coach keeps on saying that Messi is on another level, other players need to get to his level. He many times said that others players don't help Messi, instead of saying the whole team should show togetherness. Such statements from your coach are destructive to team spirit.
When you use Meza as left-winger instead of Di Maria.
When you use Acuna & Salvio as wing-backs which is not their natural position. Their natural position is wingers, that's why they were unable to mark and press Croatia wide players.
When you don't use the creativity of Dybala as he could have been used as an attacker in front of two holding midfielders.When you don't use don't give chance to an inform striker like Icardi in your team.
When you say you are going to build a team around your main man Messi but actually fails in giving him the freedom to make the difference when the team needs him.
When you do all above things, you make your FIFA World cup early exit inevitable. Jorge Sampaoli kept on doing mistake after mistake and he should be held responsible for this condition of Argentina team.
It really makes me feel bad that this year Argentina chances of winning the FIFA WC is jeopardized just because of their manager. Lionel Messi & Co. must be gutted they followed the wrong master.
Many people who have little understanding of football can say Argentina should use a 4-3-3 formation with Messi as right-wing, Higuain as the striker, Di Maria as left-wing, Dybala as attacking midfielder sitting front of two holding midfielders.
Let's see if Argentina can qualify to Round of 16. There is still a slight chance left. But, even if the managed to do it, I really can't see them as FIFA WC champions in Russia.
What do you guys think about Argentina chances of going to next round?
