Saudi Arabia stunned the world by beating Argentina 2-1.at the 2022 World Cup. The Saudis managed to reach the break at a disadvantage due to Messi’s goal, but were able to turn the game thanks to goals from Al-Shehri and Al-Sawsari.
Part of the turnaround in Saudi Arabia can be attributed to a tough performance by coach Herve Renard released this Thursday. The Frenchman criticized the position of his players in the first half, in particular the pressure they put (or did not put) on Lionel Messi.
“What are we doing here? Is it our pressure? Pressing means moving forward on the field. Messi has the ball in midfield and you are still waiting in defense! Take your mobile phones and take pictures with him if you want. Those in front are in defense must follow. We warned you and you saw what they did? Don’t you feel anything? Don’t believe we can change the course of the game? Don’t you feel? Playing relaxed. Come on guys. It’s the World Cup! You should give everything. When they are in front of the site, they look like this … Be active, ”said the Frenchman.
