El seleccionado albiceleste enfrentará a Países Bajos este viernes en partido correspondiente a los cuartos de final del Mundial de Qatar 2022.

Argentina ya sabe lo que es la frustración y sabe lo que es recuperarse. "Este equipo va a dejar todo", dijo el técnico de Pujato y nadie puede dudar de eso. En este momento de su carrera, su gran virtud es ubicarse lejos de la acción para recibir en soledad y desde allí juntar marcas o hacer la individual, según corresponda. Sabe que superar la presión y los nervios será el primer paso rumbo a las semifinales de la Copa del Mundo de Qatar 2022.

Lionel Messi led Argentina to a quarterfinal victory over the Netherlands in a penalty kick shootout. Messi had a goal, an assist and scored in the shootout ...

The Netherlands came in to this quarterfinal unbeaten in their last 19 international matches. And then, in the 73rd minute, Messi made his presence really known when he lined up to take a penalty kick. Number-three Argentina was determined to win and avoid being the second upset of the day when [Croatia defeated top-ranked and tournament favorite Brazil](https://www.npr.org/2022/12/09/1141848122/croatia-brazil-fifa-world-cup-quarterfinal-qatar). In the 35th minute, Messi somehow threaded the ball through three Dutch defenders to Nahuel Molina. The 35-year-old is one of the finest to ever play the game. Argentina got on the board first thanks to Lionel Messi, of course.

Messi and Argentina advance to the World Cup semifinals against Croatia after defeating the Netherlands on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals.

He continued: “It was a very hard match form the beginning. So when [Lautaro Martínez](https://www.foxsports.com/soccer/lautaro-martinez-player), the fifth shooter, put his shot into the back of the net, Argentina was on to the semifinals and a meeting with Croatia, which eliminated Brazil on penalty kicks in Tuesday’s other semifinal. After the loss, he confirmed he was stepping down from the Dutch national team. And though he won the Golden Ball as the most valuable player in that tournament, it was a prize he cradled dejectedly as Germany’s players accepted their winners’ medals. It is something very positive when you see the whole team wanting to take a penalty. It’s the fourth time Argentina has advanced to a World Cup semifinal. The goal was Messi’s 10th in World Cup play, two more than Maradona. More important, they sent the game to extra time, the fourth knockout game in this tournament to extend beyond 90 minutes. “Our objective is to play all seven games,” he said. And he has largely carried Argentina there himself, scoring or assisting on six of the team’s nine goals, including playing a role in both scores Friday. But he won a World Cup, which is why there’s a religion in Argentina named after him while Messi doesn’t even have his own church. But if he’s to retire as the greatest player of his generation, he needs to win soccer’s biggest prize.

That is why I asked the players to take a penalty at their club, they all did. As a coach, I want to have everything under control. "A lot of joy, a lot of happiness. It was the second time a Van Gaal team had lost to Argentina via a shootout in the knockout stages of the World Cup after a 4-2 defeat following a 0-0 draw in 2014 semi-finals.
