This is the two who fought shoulder to shoulder in the jersey of PSG last month. After that, Marudesh came to Qatar in the World Cup campaign, but Lionel Messi and Neymar did not meet again in the same city, Doha.
Here are two friends who are two fierce rivals. The team's dream torch bearer. They may not be crying out for friendship between the World Cups, but the rest of the world, except Croatia and the Netherlands, is looking forward to seeing them meet! The much-anticipated encounter could be in Lucille on December 13 in the first semi-final of the World Cup.
Neymar and Messi will have to win today in the big fight of the 'small' World Cup, which has come down to eight teams, to make the dream of Brazil-Argentina a reality in the last four. Neymar's Brazil will face last year's runner-up Croatia in the first quarter-final at the Education City Stadium at 9 pm.
Messi's Argentina will face the Netherlands in another high-voltage match in the last eight at Lucille at 1 p.m. The dream Latin Super Clasico will be seen only in the semi-finals when the farewell bell rings for the two European teams today. Who would be disinterested in such nectar? Such a football fan found on this planet load!
Luka Modric's Croatia reached the quarter-finals after defeating Japan in a tiebreaker in the last sixteen. The country with a population of only 40 lakhs has shown their ability and capability in the last World Cup as well. But in terms of strength and tradition, the country of the Amazon is far ahead of the Croats, Brazil.
After the return of Neymar from injury, the Selecao gave the indisputably beautiful football on the way to blow South Korea 4-1 in the last sixteen, if Croatia wins today, it will be a big event. Brazil, who celebrated every goal by dancing in the previous match, wants to win the sixth World Cup to the tune of samba tunes.
Vinicius Jr., the young forward of the team, said in a tone of declaration, 'some will cry bitter tears of complaint after seeing the happiness of others. But we want to win the World Cup by dancing. That's not disrespecting the opponent. Dance is an expression of our joy. We know, for such a celebration, we have to play with 110 percent against Croatia.
Meanwhile, even though there is no superstar like Messi in the Netherlands team, Dutch coach Louis von Gaal has inspired his disciples with the mantra of revenge. Van Gaal still can't forget the pain of losing to Argentina in the tiebreaker in the 2014 World Cup semi-final.
The Netherlands lost to Argentina in the 1978 World Cup final in extra time. Although there were two victories against Argentina in the World Cup, the fathers of 'Total Football' never regretted winning the title.
This time, despite Messi's magical performance, Argentina is dreaming of a third title, but Von Gaal is unwilling to let them back down in the last eight.
But he couldn't touch the ball like that against us in the 2014 World Cup semi-final. We can stop him this time too. I lost the tiebreaker on serve. Now I want revenge.
