Lionel Messi has had a strong start to the World Cup, scoring a hat-trick in the match against Algeria and netting two goals against Austria. These performances have established him as the leading goalscorer in the history of the World Cup tournaments. However, he will not have the opportunity to improve this record during the upcoming match against Jordan.
Speaking at the press conference before the game, Lionel Scaloni indicated Messi’s role for the match. “Lionel will start the match with the team. I will not say the entire line-up, but he will not enter the squad,” Scaloni stated.
The match between Argentina and Jordan is scheduled for tomorrow at 4 o’clock. Historically, the group stage has proven difficult for the team, as no one has managed to win during this phase in 44 years. The expectation remains that Messi will play a key role as Argentina moves through the tournament.
His recent scoring record places him in an elite group of players. The focus now shifts to the upcoming fixture against Jordan, where the team aims to build upon their strong start and secure a crucial group victory.
