Argentina advances to the World Cup 1:0 ahead of schedule, new Messi shines, outperforming Yamal

Feb 26, 2025

In the South Youth Championship, the Argentine players wore blue and white jerseys, showing a casual street style when playing football. The shouts and drums of the fans on the scene evoked people's good memories of watching the children of their neighbors playing football near their homes.

On such a hot afternoon, the fans of the Argentine team gathered at the stadium. Some of them were wearing old uniforms, carrying plastic containers full of beer, and some held faded team flags and cheered. These scenes together created a nostalgic movie-like atmosphere.

The vendors on the sidelines sold a variety of snacks and drinks. Several children were playing and chasing, and an old man was sitting quietly on the stairs wiping the camera lens, obviously intending to capture every moment of this event.



The stands were packed with fans, and the fans were showing a variety of activities: some were chewing corn, some were talking with friends, and some were concentrating on watching the athletes warming up on the field, creating a warm atmosphere.

When the players ran on the field, the audience could clearly see the numbers and names printed on the back of their jerseys. Although each athlete was still young, he already carried a lot of expectations and burdens.

The players of the Colombian team, wearing bright yellow jerseys, were warming up at the other end of the field. They looked quite relaxed and occasionally exchanged laughter.


When the referee entered the field, the players of both teams also slowly moved to the center circle. At this time, the atmosphere of the field suddenly became solemn, and everyone realized that the game was about to begin.

When Subiare scored a goal in the game, the whole stadium fell into carnival, and the commentator's voice was drowned out by the cheers of the audience.

Echeverri's performance on the court is particularly unique. He moves with extraordinary lightness and freedom, as if he is playing in his own backyard.


Whenever he catches the ball, the opposing defensive players will feel anxious because they cannot predict what action he will take.

The cooperation between them is very harmonious, sometimes even without words, and they can understand the intention and direction of the other party through a glance.



In one round of attack, he performed a subtle feint, successfully got rid of two defenders, and then accurately passed the ball to his forward teammate.

His passes are always very accurate, whether it is a long-distance pass or a close-range pass, the ball can accurately fall under the toes of his teammates.

Sometimes he will pause to assess the situation on the court, and then suddenly speed up to launch a breakthrough. The variability of this strategy often makes it difficult for opponents to cope with.


In the defensive stage, he will take the initiative to retreat and help his teammates clear the threat. This excellent team spirit has won high praise from the coaching staff.

Fans generally appreciate his ball-control style, and whenever he touches the ball, the audience always bursts into applause.

The contrast between Echeverri and Yamal is indeed quite fascinating. Although both are in their prime, they show completely different characteristics in the display of football skills.


It seems premature to compare Echeverri to the new Messi, because an outstanding player like Messi may only appear once in decades.

His current performance is extremely outstanding, with a total of five goals and three assists in the Southern Youth Championship.

Manchester City's strong interest in him is not accidental, but is based on the high fit between his technical characteristics and the rhythm of the Premier League game.


In an interview, he mentioned that he had admired Messi's game videos since he was a child, which may have shaped his football skills and playing style.

He is indeed very ingenious in dribbling skills, but compared to Messi, he is more inclined to instigate attacks in the midfield.



Scouts say that he has a broad perspective and is good at identifying passing paths that others ignore.

At the end of the game, he usually reviews the game video with his teammates, and this diligent learning attitude is really admirable.

The match between Argentina and Brazil has always been full of highlights, and this South Youth Championship final is no exception.


In an interview before the game, Echeverri mentioned that he would face this game with a calm mind.

The coaching team has high expectations for him, but at the same time, it does not put too much pressure on him.

During the practice, he cooperated well with his teammates and showed good state maintenance.


Brazil has significant defensive strength and is expected to defend Echeverri, a key link, closely.

However, he claimed that he has adapted to the situation of being under special attention, which actually stimulated his competitive spirit.

Regarding the upcoming Manchester City career, he is currently unwilling to think too much, but is focused on the current South Youth Championship.


This state of mind is quite rare, indicating that he has mastered the strategy of effectively managing his own pressure.
