I was the dude I got to be a blue guy I was right to be a blue guy There's the blue dude in the book That ain't shit no, it ain't shit Ahh What can I say except I was right I made a predictions video, I made a finals video And in both videos I predicted Argentina to win I'm back messy in the middle of the shoot First things first, wrestling piece to Pele He's a legend I think I was born probably the year after he retired So I was in it with a watchin' But if you don't know him, three time walk up winner Brazilian legend, one of the greatest world cup players of all time Probably in my opinion, he's the greatest world cup player of all time I'm Bobbi, it's probably the only one who can take that throne from him in my opinion And condolences go out to his family, friends, loved ones And obviously the Lyra fans But this video, we're gonna be talking about the 2022 World Cup winners Argentina and three specific We're gonna be talking about the top five key players in Argentina's World Cup run And before I begin, I would like to shout out the coach Ronald Skalonik, because without him, none of this would have been possible Ever since he took over in 2019 And we lost to Brazil and the Copas and the semis I knew we still made an improvement in terms of the coaching side We're here to run it back and fill out three straight international trophies Within a year and a half, there's definitely a vital piece Probably one of the most important pieces behind Messi To why Argentina was so successful If you credit what credit is due, without Skalonik, we don't win anything So, yeah So what's our top five player? So before we get into the top five players, I just wanna say Every single player, we even stand on the pitch For Argentina this World Cup journey, played a huge part And without them, we're gonna win actually Probably won without Martinez Number five, Alexis McAllister This guy is literally a mini Messi Callister had one goal in one assist He made such a huge impact on this team What you see Messi doing now? This guy's gonna do in the future He's able to dribble between many defenders He's able to create a key passes out of nothing You know, Callister is such a great add to this team He is fifth on the list, but yo, without this guy I don't know if we win No bullshit But moving on Number four, we're gonna give some love to the defenders Because this is gonna be the only defender on this list So if there was any defender on our just you know that I would say It was very influential on the game It would have to be Krischer-Romeo So Krischer-Romeo on this edge, cause he had a fair amount of interceptions And he had the most recoveries and total clearances I believe From Margetina and Blox as well So he played phenomenal Three, alright So this is guy from Mad City His name is Julien-Averis And I watched 2014 Higuain-Sup Okay, sucked on the final What Averis did in this World Cup was what Messi needed in 2014 So Julien-Averis finished with four goals and zero assists Oh first of all That goal against Croatia The one that you just brought the ball up I ran through three guys and scored on the back of it The back of it you've all people Beautiful So he was the second last touch to Dmerias goal in the final Averis just runs and runs and runs That it allows Messi to walk Go and walk and walk Averis was definitely the perfect piece to put beside Messi He was able to score goals, he was able to make key passes Averis couldn't have played better It's crazy because at the end of the final He was in the race with the goal in the boot So yeah, that Mack City kid has a lot of potential Yeah, second best player in Argentina's run Was none other than the goalkeeper himself And Julien-Averis just runs and runs and runs A lot of the fact that we're running the goal in the global world But I do think it goes well deserving There probably... honestly, I can see why people make a case for Bono of Morocco If it was up to me, it was either between Martins or Lavacovic Martins is the best pound to keep you out there Martins finished with two penalty shootout wins And he had three clean shoots against Mexico, Poland and Croatia Martins made seven saves with two to three of them being as clutch as they could get So much pressure and everything on the line The saving is Australia The saving is France And the final Cool Manny scores that goal France goes back to back That save right there to me It was probably the play of the whole tournament Because if that goes in, it's done Martins, yes, they may have allowed Melty to catch a little flat for his post game celebrations But... well deserving He couldn't have been worse He couldn't have been better Number one, who else? Lionel Andres Messi The last time he was in 2014 against Germany And Messi is the only player that remains from that team Messi was nothing short of magical He displayed why he is the Messiah It's crazy because the guys 35 And you'd think that his prime would have been a little bit behind them But this World Cup compared to the previous four World Cup set he attended to It's not even close in comparison of what he was capable of doing And even in matches where he didn't score or assist It was only one match out of seven He still was very influential on the game Just having Messi on the opposite side of the pitch Put a lot of fear in everybody playing Messi this World Cup had seven goals and three assists There's a reason why he's the greatest of all time It's under in my opinion and more It's just facts The guys won everything He literally completed football like he was a video game He scored in every group In every stage of the World Cup Which was never done before Probably the greatest World Cup that I personally watched I know for sure that was the greatest final in history Oh, to point out he had seven goals and three assists His best goal is probably his goal against Mexico Because that shot was deep He shot that out from outside the box Any bellow true It was a very good goal these Especially when it comes to World Cup But to be honest Two of his assists I personally think were way more impressive than any of the goals he scored If you really thought like someone else Other Messi was in a run like this Stop watching football Stop watching football Stop watching football It is sad because this was the last World Cup that we had to see Messi But we're grateful that we see witnessed it And yeah I need to find me a Messi jersey Because Dempstis are so loud everywhere Before the World Cup started I said it I said Arnstein on a win And you know what I also said? I said that In 2026 They ain't gonna get out of groups But I'm wrong Looking at the depth And the young core that Arnstein are shaping up It's gonna be impressive to see what they're able to do In the next World Cup Without Messi And even if Messi does play I don't think there will be the same Messi Who's your arm but please I know for the time we'll catch up to him eventually I'm excited Just some football youtuber now Thank you for watching And yeah Take care
