The French team was pushed deep into their own field, confused, deadlocked and disoriented. The stars were overshadowed in the most important match, the one with the most hope of victory. The two goals conceded by the French team were insurmountable, but there was still one half left in the match and the opponent could still make mistakes.
It was in the 63rd minute that Di Maria, a player capable of stirring up and breaking down defenses from the left wing, was taken off. Meanwhile, the main pillars of the French team were also taken off, making room for a series of young, aggressive, and ambitious players to enter the match to save the "sinking ship".
The French did the unthinkable in 2 minutes (80, 81) with the brilliance of the genius Mbappe. In the entire first half, this star had absolutely no "place" to perform. But just 2 minutes was enough to bring him back to being the best star in the World Cup sky.
The French team then conceded a third goal in the second half of extra time, and the match went into penalties and the French lost, but Mbappe won all three of his nerve-wracking penalties and the volley that burned the opponent's net. He was truly the star of hope, of the future, while on the opponent's side, a happy ending for Messi at the peak of his career.
Once again, South American football has shown its potential, strength and desire to conquer the top with the brilliance of stars after the brilliant periods of Pele, Maradona and now Messi. But remember that European football is not inferior with representatives such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy...
The lessons of victory and defeat of the French team in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups will help European football as well as the whole world to recognize and draw valuable lessons for the journey ahead. The advanced youth training foundation, naturalization policy, and the process of competing in developed football countries are creating young talents with great potential, of which Mbappe is just one of the typical examples. Although the French did not achieve the "record" of winning 2 consecutive World Cups, their consecutive presence in 2 finals proves that they have been and are on the right track, constantly leading to maintain their achievements and develop at a higher level.
Meanwhile, with the "rough diamonds" of Argentina training and maturing in Europe, with the hot blood of the national flag and tradition, Messi and his teammates have proven that the victory of the team and the collective is above all, higher than any individual title!
A periodWorld Cup 2022closed, the joys and sorrows with the ball will be continued by other competitions, interesting and attractive in their own way. But the World Cup moments, the unexpected and not-so-unexpected victories and defeats, the tears flowing, the boundless joys... will last forever, lingering in the hearts of each of us./.
