Confidence and flexibility

Never think that my first post is going to have sad feelings in it. Well, yesterday was the match between Argentina and Germany, and as usual i was at the stall chatting with my friends while waiting for the match to begin. Well, it's not that i don't like those who supported Germany, but sometimes i will have the thought that there was a bottom line where they shouldn't cross over, because whatever bad things they said mean something to me as a supporter of Argentina. After the game started for 3 minutes, Germany managed to get 1 goal for their country, and of course i felt sad but not hopeless as there were at least 87 minutes for Argentina players to get themselves into the situation. And i assumed they had to use the 45 minutes in the first half to do so. In the second half, i was hoping that Maradona will change his strategy because his players need something different from him to win against a team like Germany. Yet, i saw nothing but the lack of confidence and flexibility from Argentina players. I thought that it was obvious to see the style Germany players using, which were playing around the ball using their own skill but cooperate with teammates at the same time. For Argentina players, they were lack of confidence with their own skills and i wondered why they keep passing the ball to Messi and not rush to the goal themselves because i totally believed that they can make the shot themselves. So thats it. The result was disappointing but at least there was no "acting" as i can see in Robben and Christiano Ronaldo. Anyway, life goes on. Just hope that those countries who lost in their match can improve well, and for Argentina, please stop putting pressure on Messi because if he was the center of all the strategy used, i don't think he can be himself. The real himself.
