Messi deserves to become world champion, says Tarkhanov

Russian coach Alexander Tarkhanov believes that the captain of the Argentina national football team, Lionel Messi, deserves the title of world champion.

In the final of the tournament in Qatar, the Argentines will meet the French at the stadium in Lusail on Sunday.

– In the semi-final Argentina – Croatia was cautious football, like yesterday. The French, when led, sat on the defensive and gave the initiative to the Moroccans. The Africans had a lot of chances that they could convert. I think that the French team will be able to play a score against the Argentines, if necessary.

To be honest, the Moroccan team surprised me by reaching the semi-finals. Against Spain and Portugal they had a defensive tactic, and yesterday they showed that they can both attack and control the ball.

Who will I root for? I would like Messi to win. He deserved to become a world champion, – Vprognoze.ru quotes Tarkhanov.
