The Italian commentator who surrendered to Lionel Messi: “Redesign the limits of his destiny”

The third goal of the Albiceleste against Croatia in the semi-final of Qatar 2022 World Cup it caused cheers, hugs and standing applause. In Argentina and the rest of the world, where international journalists were amazed by the game of Lionel Messiin which he dribbled past at least three opposing players to give Julián Álvarez the goal pass and seal the pass for the final.

That’s how it happened Daniele Adani, commentator on RAI Italywho didn’t hide his emotion when he saw the Argentine 10 and in the middle of the broadcast he gave an emotional description of his performance in the match.

He did so with a reference to Dante Panzeri, the historic sports journalist of El Gráfico who spoke of football as “the dynamics of the unthinkable”.

“Here’s another initiative from Messi. Messi again, Messi in front of goal. And it’s a goal! Standing! The two of them again. Assistance from Messi and goal from Álvarez. 3 to 0 and the game was practically over. Football is the dynamics of the unthinkable” said the commentator, paraphrasing the Argentine.

Subsequently, the former footballer who was Gabriel Batistuta’s teammate and is close friends with Matías Almeyda, compared Lionel Messi to Diego Maradona.

“Only in the genius of Messi can there be a play like this, that remember Maradona on the pitch. Dribble everyone, even desert camels. And he gives the ball to Julián Álvarez. This is what Messi is doing. In this World Cup he is hypothesizing the details of another World Cup: that of 1986 “.

Surrendered by the magic of the 10 and as if he couldn’t believe what he saw, he continued: “They follow him along the touchline. They never catch him. They never see him. They stop him, he starts again, he doesn’t see the space, he generates it , invents it. He dribbles past all the men. They follow him on the sideline. They never catch him, they never see him. They stop him, he starts again. He doesn’t see the space, he generates it, if he invents it, he dribbles past all the men”.

Towards the end of the match that put the albiceleste one step away from the great dream of raising the third World Cup, Adani concluded his comment with more praise.

“Exude love through a soccer ball. Redraw the limits of your destiny. This is what you are doing. It affects everyone. To colleagues, to opponents, to everyone. Another game of goals and assists for Leo Messi. And it benefits Julián Álvarez, who rises to four in the scorer table, “he closed.
