The Netherlands couldn't, the strategy that Croatia wants to use against Lionel Messi

The Argentine team is focused on what will be the match against Croatia, within the framework of the World Cup semifinals in Qatar. In this context, the intention of the European team to prevent Lionel Messi, captain of the Albiceleste, from shining as he did against the Netherlands was leaked from Europe.

In Croatia they shield themselves and hope to give a new hit in the World Cup. After leaving Brazil on the road, the team led by Zlatko Dalić wants to add their second consecutive final, but first they will try to eliminate the Copa América champion, who comes from a complex matchup against 'Clockwork Orange', in the quarterfinals.

Now, L'Équipe reveals that Dalić wants to minimize the danger that Lionel Messi can generate in the rival goal. For this, he could impose a personal mark on the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7). The chosen one would be Mateo Kovacic, who knows the Albiceleste captain very well, after his time in the Spanish league, where he defended the Real Madrid shirt.

The Netherlands tried to stop Leo and Van Gaal failed in the attempt:

In the quarterfinals, Louis van Gaal tried to reference Lionel Messi with Frenkie de Jong, who was a teammate of the 'Flea' at FC Barcelona. When he passed the midfielder's line, Nathan Aké was designated to control the current PSG striker. Neither strategy worked though, as Leo provided a wonderful assist and scored a goal.
