'Dream final' Brazil - Argentina

Just hearing the names of samba dancers or tango dancers, people immediately think of the pinnacle of competition in the art of handling the ball, of the endless passion for creativity and the endless attraction of the king of sports. On the green grass always stand out the stars whose every move is a masterpiece of the field, which is always mentioned with admiration and sought after by many generations of soccer disciples.

The dream came true, the long awaited moment at Maracana Stadium was the presence of two world-famous stars Neymar and Messi along with two excellent teams bringing their teams to the final match of the most important tournament in South America.

It is very strange that while Argentina came here to bring the 15th Copa America Cup to the traditional room, if Brazil wins, it will only bring home the 10th Copa Cup. It is also very strange that Messi has now collected all the most prestigious individual titles at the European and world levels while playing for FC Barcelona, ​​but this superstar is still very unlucky with the national team of Argentina, especially when playing in the Copa America.

Meanwhile, 2 years ago, Brazil won the Copa America for the 9th time, but Neymar was absent due to injury, meaning that up to now, Neymar has basically "empty-handed" the title when participating in the yellow-green team, at the continental and world levels (except for the Olympic gold medal in 2016).

That said, both stars Neymar and Messi are facing the opportunity to win a prestigious title for the first time in the national team at the continental level if they win this important match. In terms of personal achievements up to the final, Messi is better than Neymar when he scored 4 goals and 5 assists for his teammates to score, while Neymar only scored 2 goals and 5 assists.

However, when facing each other in the next match, all achievements are only for reference, including Argentina's losses to Brazil, especially in previous Copa Americas. The most important thing is the actual performance of the individual contributing to the overall result in the decisive final match. It will not be easy for Neymar or Messi to dribble, pass the ball or coordinate with teammates. There will also not be a comfortable mentality for these two players to show off their techniques or practice free kicks at the best level as usual when the opponents know each other well and have no shortage of "tricks" to limit the strength of each side.

Of course, Brazil will certainly assign the task of "locking down" Messi to a series of players playing in La Liga including: famous defensive midfielder Cáseimiro, defender Militao, striker Vinicius (Real Madrid Club), full-backs Lodi and Felipe (Atletico Club)... These players are all pillars who are playing very well in the current Brazilian squad and they are certainly no strangers to opponents, whether Messi or anyone else.

Remember that in the recent La Liga season, Messi had a lot of difficulties when playing against the tough teams in La Liga mentioned above. Let's just hope that when he returns to the Argentina national team, Messi will play with a different mindset? At least in the group stage and knockout matches, Messi has proven his inherent strength?

In Ligue-1, the last season was not really outstanding for Neymar in the PSG squad. There were only a few opponents who understood Neymar's playing style in the Argentina squad such as Paredes, Di Maria in PSG, so it was not easy to mark and prevent all of Neymar's efforts, especially the player's constant tricks.

An empty home ground is not an advantage for hosts Brazil, but the stars gathering around Neymar to play and contribute is like a fish in water and they will show everything they have. Meanwhile, if Argentina can find a way to prevent the hosts from playing as expected, they will have a chance to do something unexpected.

The “dream final” is that the old and new talents will shine on the Maracana green carpet, creating a real feast for the fans. It is very possible that the stars Neymar and Messi continue to play important roles in each team, but it is also possible that for the team, they accept to sacrifice small personal achievements? Not to mention, in the decisive match, if there is a personal mistake, including the stars, everything becomes a disaster with no chance of correction!

Anything can happen in the final between Brazil and Argentina, although the final victory will only belong to the better and luckier team. Let's wait and see which team will be the owner of the Copa America 2021 Gold Cup and who is really the brightest star in that starry sky!
