Was It A Final After All , Or Was It A “ PARTING – GIFT ”
Match :: It Was “ RIDICULOS ” ….. FRIEND IN DEED
I would not say that it was FIXED. I do not think that it
would go all that way. I would not even believe that. But ofcourse after
watching the match I was fully convinved that
“ IT WAS A PARTING GIFT MATCH ”.. a GIFT for SOMEBODY from someone who
ADORES him as a footballer.
One might be wondering about whom I’m writing this piece and
whom I’m referring all about. Let me make it open and FRANK – I’m writing about
the Copa-America Finals that was played yesterday and that Argentina won it
beating Brazil by 1-0 .

To me it did NOT appeat at all a MATCH and never did I feel
that was a match. I felt that there were TWO teams out playing a MORNING
PRACTICE match for warming themselves up. Even after the finals were over- the
acts and the scenario was such that it was out in open that this match was like
a PARTING GIFT to a player whose team was not and had not been winning any
trophies for almost about THREE decades ( 28 years) and for the BEST PLAYER of
the WORLD who ever since making his debut for his country had NOT won even a
SINGLE title for him or his country.
The Real And The Actual Truth That Cannot DEFY The “ LOGICS ” -:
The real TRUTH of the matter and the logic is MESSI is 34
years of age. Next World Cup would see him crossing his 35th year of
his life. Then the WC 2026 would see him crossing his 39th years of
life….
He is jobless now. The F.C.Barcelona JINX has been broken
and he is out of that club now. It was Messi who had brought Neymar to
F.C.Barcelona .It was Messi who had said the the management of F.C.Barcelona
that Neymar upfront him would bring him the title elusive the FOOTBALL CLUB
CHAMPIONSHIP which is always held at Japan with YOKOHAMA always being the
sponsor. Messi had won that title walloping Santos by 4-0 some season before
when Neymar was making his international forays as a young coot of 19 then.
However the FCBarcelona afterwards and thereafter started losing the steam
especially after Spain had won that WC 2010 at Africa. He wanted a striker
upfront to hang on onto his JUICE in terms of pass and feed it to the goalkeeper
of the opponent team and he recommended
it to the management of club and Neymar was in F. C Barcelona.
Neymar entry in that club brought these two together and
they jelled as a GREAT FRIEND in the pitch and away from it. There were many a
skill that Neymar had brought it to the club at Barcelona all ORIGINAL and
TACTICAL as those were the Brazilian trademark but it was Messi who advised him
that IN MODERN FOOTBALL THOSE SKILLS WILL BRING YOU A HEAVY BODY CHARGE. PLAY
THE GAME FOR THE TEAM ALONG WITH YOUR TEAM MATES AND NOT FOR SELF. BRILLIANCE
IS NOT APPRECIATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL MARK. Neymar took to the advise and he so
far has NOT played them on the field at all though his has some which could
really make the EYE BALL shrink due to the magic he would display….
Neymar with Messi at the back brought him 62 goals for F C
barcelone in the very second year and it was that the “ N-M ” of F C Barcelona
started . The bond and the friendship grew stronger and more stronger.

Messi with Neymar upfront and the goals that he would score
off Messi’s assists made Messi far more a more improved player with his
confidence increasing by folds and the wins coming off more strongly.Such was
the combination that in one game F C Barcelona defeated Real Madrid by 5-0 and
in another game, trailing against the Bayern Munich in the European Club
Championshio by 1-5 the F C Barcelone with strikes from Saurez, Messi ( 2) and
Neymar (2) went on to beat them by a margin of 7-5 to enter the finals and
ultimately wining the championship. Such
was the combination and such wee the game they were playing for F.C
Barcelona. Strong was the poutput on the field and STRONGEST was the FRIENDSHIP
growing day by day
The “ PALL” Of “
GLOOM ”
Neymar was winning
it for Brazil. He was the part of the Brazilian team that had won the 2013 Copa
America Cup . He missed an Olympig Gold at the Olympics 2014 but won it
at 2018 when Brazil beat Germany in the shoot out in the finals. He won the
INTERCONTINENTAL FEDRATION CUP in 2013
beating Spain by 3-0 . He was winning all the WORLD TITLE but Messi was
strucked at the ONLY Olympic Gold that he won it for Argentina in 2008.
Time left and had left Messi far behind as from the age of
18 when he started playing for Argentina till the age of 34 now, for the last
16 years he did not win any tournament for him or Argentina on the World scene.
His cupboard was empty but Neymar was adding to his. The ONLY WORLD CUP title has
not come to the cupboard of Neymar but nothing did come to Argentina or Messi.
Argentina had last won the Copa America or any TITLE at the
international level in 1993 when they under Maradona had won the Copa America.
From then till now they were under the drought . This was the LAST chance for
Messi and Argentina to win atleast ONE International title…..
The Brazilain “ DIP
” in form raises many a question - ::
Neymar was down with COVID – 19 and he missed the Copa
America before that in 2019 when he was sick and was advised not to play
football for about 6 month in 2019. Inspite his absence the Tite led and
coached Brazil had won that championship.
Brazil in the qualifiers of this World Cup as as GOOD as
QUALIFIED for the WC- 2022. They have so far played six games and won every
game, their highest victory being 7-0 against Bolivia and in the run so far
they had beaten Argentina by 3-0 and even Uruguay by 5-1.In the first two
Copa-America thet outplayed their opponent Peru by 4-0 and then Venezuela by
3-0.
Pic - :: A Brazilian Support Staff Winking At Messi After The Match
It was from their 3rd match that we saw the
Brailian changing their half the squad against Colombia to finish the stalement
at 1-1 after conceding the goal first. Therefater we saw them playing football
of the lowest quality beating their opponent by 1-0 each in the finals.The
spark and the SPUNK that the Brazilain produced for the first eight games
starting from their 7-0 victory over Bolivia and then winning it against
Venezuela by 3-0 before squeezing the juice of Argentina by 3-0 and Uruguay by
5-1 was totally missing from the Brazilain.It was like the Brazilain team was
something of a toddler winning the games by just toddling and the luck helping
them out to win.
The Finals Against
Argentina-::
No sooner that
Brazil entered the finals the statement of Neymar- I want Argentina to win as
there are many a friends that I have in that team was something that went and
broke all hell loose.
It is a fact that Neymar is playing with Di maria at Saint
Germain paris. He had Messi asking him to help him with a club at France and it
was Neymar who has asked Messi to be at ease as he and Thiago Silva the central
stopper of Brazil have approached the club authorities at St Germain to rethink
of bringing in Messi. The actions are being followed. For this the St Germain
have already released Pogba to Manchester United. Maybe Messi will again play
with Neymar at St Germain Paris. May be- this is my guess. On the contorary
Christiano Ronaldo has asked his club at Italy to get Messi but the Argentine
star wants to play with his Brazilain FRIEND and FOE when they play for their
club and when they play for their country.
Pic - A Toddler Football Student Of Brazil Left Completely SHATTERED After Yesterday ie July 11th 2021 After Brazil Lost The Match To Argentina
The manner that we saw the dip in the form of that Brazilian
team which in the eight games before that 1-1 draw against Colombia in the recent
Copa-America , where the Brazilian had scored on an average four goals a match
( about 32 goals) that they had scored to find it that hard scoring against
teams like Peru, and Chile was astonishing. It was something a very poor
football that Brazil was playing. Again after the semis where they qualified for
the finals, and with Neymar throwing that kind of a statemet it was very hard
to make any conclusion of what Neymar was talking all about- but the finals
made it clear….. These kind of a dip-in-form, all of a sudden really have made the Brazilains at home wonder , and yesterday after the match even the toddlers who had come to see and watch the game were left STRANDED, DISJOINT and in PAINS.
After the finals when both of them shared that “ FS – FB ” space it was far more clear that all arrangements
were made atleast for Messi to walk away with his FIRST International title for
Argentina after a playing career of 16 years and giving Argentina their FIRST
title in about three decades.
It is very clear that Argentina is NOT going to win the
World Cup 2022 with this kind of a team whose players commit such a number of
fouls. In yesterday’s match Neymars SHORT was TORN OFF by the Argentines and
Paquetta’s short was DRILLED – HOLE in the course of the match. Both had to replace
them. The personal fouls committed on Neymar was as big as 18 with the number
of fouls committed by the Argentines were 36 in the entire match which means
that it was ONE-FOUL-IN-EVERY-THREE-MINUTES
These kind of referring will never find a place in the World
Cup proper but of recent it is observed that the referees deliberately favour
the European teams especisally the Italians, English, French and the Spanish teams – the last world Cup saw
France getting as many as SIX penalties, even one in the finals in the seven
matches they played.That makes a lot of difference. In the quarters against the
Belgium side there was a CLEAN penalty which the referee did not give it to
Brazil when Neymar was brought down inside the box DELIBRATELY by the Belgium
players. All efforts for a penalty and hue and cry fell into the deaf ears of
the referee then.
The Tale Of Two
Goals At Copa America Yesterday -:
Many consider it as a gravious mistake by Lodi yesterday for
the goal scored by Argentina. However Di Maria was OFFSIDE by MILES actually
which the referee ignored deliberately. It was actually the BREAKING –THE-OFFSIDE-TRAP
by Richarlison to have scored that goal.His entire body was within the OFFSIDE
line only maybe a fraction of his right leg outside that line. It is actually
half or more than half the feet that has to remain out of the offside line for
the OFFSIDE to be truled out.The VIDEO clearly showed that Richarlison was not
OFFSIDE but he actually had broken that. Yey he was pulled up by the referee. THIS AGAIN GOES TO PROVE MANY A THINGS
ABOUT MAKING MESSI AND ARGENTINA TO WIN AND ESPECIALLY FOR MESSI TO WIN HIS ONE
TITLE BEFORE HIS SUN IS SET .
The second is the manner in which Richarlison broke for that
goal, remaining atleast five yards away he pierced like the sunray to beat his
marker by physical covering and puishing that one for a clean goal which was
disallowed. Thirty seconds within, he again cut loose and took a rasper which
was parrid away by the Argentine goalkeeper .That was the ONLY BRAZILIAN SPARK
that we saw and after these two raids it was again that nothing was seen of
Brazil.It was as if they had gone to shell.
INTRIGUING- THY
NAME IS MESSI
Messi is a ball
player and a FINISHER who will never miss anything within the five yard at the
goal .Yesterday he got a pass from Di Maria within the strking circle.He weaved
all through the Brazilain goal .When he was two hands distance within
scoring he somehow brought himself to the ground where the Brazilian goalkeeper
was saddled and Messi as good as allowed the goalkeeper to grip that one for a
save .
Mohammed Ghori had taken out both the eye of Prithiviraj
Chauhan and even without his eye Chauhan strucked the arrow on his neck to kill
him. In the same fashion take out both the eye of Messi and feed him with the
ball at that position.You will find Messi scoring from that position without
any hitch or fail. Yesterday for the FIRST time in his life he failed. It was
very evident that Brazil and Argentine had decided and sgreed to keep the score
at 1-0 . If the scorewas 1-1 had Richarlison’s goal was allowed, Messi would
have made it 2-1 and THIS IS THE PREDICTION I HAD GIVEN ON MY FACEBOOK before
the match- one can see it. Agagin if the match had ended on an equal terms- the
TIE BREAKER would have been clinched by Argentina. It was very evident that
this title was to be awarded to Argentina and Messi as a parting GIFT for Messi
by the Brazilians and company.
Football Played
Yesterday-::
It was a very
ordinary outing by Brazil.They looked without any idea, disjoint and bereft of
any fighting qualities. They made many an inroads to the Argentine territory
but tere at the box they were seen running out of idea. Those CUP-STYLE the
ROOT of Brazilain football was totally missing and was NOT to be seen.
The set piece movement and the set pieces were absolutely
missing from the Brazilian squad. At the defense there were some silly mistakes
committed by the Brazilains . I did not see any Brazilain team playing such a
disjajded and dispirited soccer at any time in my life against the Argentine.
From 1982 when I first saw Brazil playing Argentina in which Brazil had beaten
them by 3-1 to the last games of this years World Cup qualifiers where Brazil
hit therm by 3-0 I have never seen such a LOUSY Brazilain side playing a game
against Argentine. It was so paethetic to see them playing in that manner.
IF I’M WRONG-::
If I’m wrong in
whatever I have written above and if this is the standard of football that
Brazil plays then take my WORDS-::
NIETHER ARGENTINA
OR BRAZIL WILL WIN THE WORLD CUP IN 2022 AT QUATAR…..
Brazil needs to bring in a OUT-OF-BOX Midfielder to create
and hold the game at the centre. Brazil has a HISTORY of CREATING and MAKING
those kind of midfielders in their history of the game.From the days of Vava-
Didi to Gerson – Rivelino to Zico-Socrates to DUNGA- ADRIANO to Ronaldinho-
Kaka Brazil always had won the World Cup because of it’s midfielder – but wjhat
I have seen of these midfielders playing for Brazil I’m APPALLED to see and say
that BRAZIL will NEVER win the WORLD CUP again if these kind of STATIC and
FREEZED midfielders play for them.THEY HAVE ONE VERY CREATIVE AND A SOLID MID
FIELDER IN “ GERSON ” a TWENTY years of
age playing at Italy for a club .One year and HE IS THE MAN – I SAY. Bring him
and put him behind Neymar and keep on switching Ricahrlison to RIGHT and LEFT
with Neymar switching onto Left and RIGHT with Gerson holding the game in the
midfield and you well will see a MAGIC of FLOWS and BEWITCHING BRAZILIAN MOVES
for the entire 90 minutes of the game. ALSO BRAZIL WILL HAVE TO PLAY THE FIRST
TIME PASS RATHER THA HANGING WITH THE BALL A BIT MUCH WHICH CLOSES THE GAP AT
THE UPFRONT That is the area where they have to build on.ONE YEAR-IT IS ENOUGH
OF TIME and if Mr Tite reads my lines and follows it up- HE WILL, ELSE NOT.
WITH THE LOUSY FOOTBALL THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY FROM BRAZIL, BRAZIL
WITH THIS KIND OF A GAME WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BEAT AND WIN THE 2022 WORLD CUP
AT ALL.
CONGRATS “ MESSI ” – BUT WC-2022 IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA-:
I never been an Argentina football supporter at all.Their
FOOTBALL achievement at the WORLD LEVEL is FULL-OF-CHEAT.
In CRICKET INDIA we have produced GOD OF EVERYTHING, THEN GOD OF
ON-SIDE, THEN GOD OF WRIST, THEN GOD OF WALL, THEN GOD OF HOOKING THE EUROPEAN
MODELS AND BEAUTIES, THEN GOD OF MARRYING THE BOLLYWOOD BEAUTIES, THEN GOD OF
HOOKING AND MARRYING THE BROADCASTERS etc……
Likewise the Argentine football had and has PRODUCED the GOD’s . It was the GOD of CHANGING THE FIXTURE to
suit their purpose( the example of the Brazilain squad to pull them from swimming
pool and forcing them to play against Peru in 1978 ) , the the GOD-OF-HAND,
then the GOD- OF – HITTING THE BRAZILIANS on their NOSE, eye and what not, then
the GOD OF DUPING THEIR EUROPEAN OPPONENT BY THE USE OF FIST,HAND,AND PALMS (
many such instances and many I can demonstare it by the pictures that I
possess).
But I have always ADORED MESSI as a FOOTBALLER for his
INDIVIDUAL-BRILLANCE-AND-UNIMAGINATIVE-SKILLS. HE IS REALLY A “ MAGICAL
FOOTBALL-GOD ” which ROBS the EYEBALL and all the LIGHT of the EYE…..
Though it is a GIFT by Neymar, tite, Brazil and what not…..
though many would LAUGH at me for the same…. But the TRUTH is a TRUTH which
would be HARD to SWALLOW- GULP-AND- DIGEST , I would CONGRAJULATE the BEST in
the WORLD to win his ONLY title at the very FAG end of his life COURTESY the
RETURN GIFT by his F C Barcelona teammante and his BEST FRIEND in the
international football arena…..
It also needed the " GIFTS " from the Referees' to achieve that feat.
A WIN IS A WIN – ACHIEVED BY ANY MEAN-BY HOOK OR CROOK – AND
THANKS MESSI TO AT LAST PUT ONE IN YOUR EMPTY POCKET…… IT NEEDED THE “ FRIEND-IN-DEED
” TO HELP YOU OUT….
No DOUBT AS THEY
SAY- A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED.
Lastky- Mr Tite ARE YOU LISTENNING. Your countrymen, be it
Tostao, be it Branco, be it Dunga…… be it the President Mr Lula…… they have
always listened me……
FOR THE " SAKE " OF BRAZIL'S FOOTBALL - WILL YOU Mr TITE ..??..!!...
Note - Every pictures portrayed here are from ther National " JOURNAL " Newspaper Of Brazil - which was send to me by my Brazilian Football Coach Of A Football Club Of Brazil -my FRIEND
That is it……
That sums up it and that is all .....
Regards and THANKS
